The Need to Breed

[The Grand Nudger]

Is putting hope into non-existent technologies any different than putting hope into non-existent displays of human behavior, or the boot of the state? Of the three, I'll go with tech, personally. Waiting for human beings to wake up some day and align themselves -globally- to your ideas of what constitutes well reasoned or well educated (and specifically with regards to this issue) is akin to waiting for it to rain gumdrops. The day our state forces sterilization or summary executions of "surplus" personnel is the day I dust off my assault rifle (wait...wait....I think we've found a solution, a violent and bloody insurgency against a state that wishes to enforce population controls may just do the trick...and we might even be offing exactly the sorts of people that need to be offed- BONUS!). Again though, things like this in first world countries won't do much, because we already have a very low number of children on average, so I guess I'd need to buy a plane ticket and re-familiarize myself with shithole-ese.
