Philosophical question for you all concerning population control...

Question

Ok - say an evil little genie appeared before you that had the power to make his threats come true

And the Genie said to you "Unless you can get every single couple on the planet to agree to work with their neighbors to reach a sustainabale population - one in which zero members of society lacked of food (and maintain this level): the genie will force every single family to annually watch one member die of starvation - and thus would "help" us reach a sustainable population....as the Genie explained that it is unfair for some families disproportionately watch all their members die, while other families were so well fed they were obese...

Now - in order to answer this question - assume the Genie really had those powers -

What would you do? How about on a global scale?

Answer 1

I would notify everyone I know by e-mailing, telephoning, paper posting, etc. that there's an evil genie and the world will devise a way to destroy him.

OR

I would contact everyone I know after taking a picture of this genie (proof) and all will just not have any more kids than they do.

Answer 2

wow that would be some karma wouldn't it??

Um I guess I would tell everyone to use condoms or get their tube's tied. . . sheesh. that would never happen which would lead us to a year of deaths and then they'd do what I'd told them to. That's how ignorant the human race is. They need to see people die in order to take someone seriously.

Answer 3

The globalist ruling rich elites have been suppressing all our modern inventions and discoveries over that past 70 years in order to keep their power and control. If these criminals weren't around nobody would be starving and living in poverty. Inventions like getting free energy from anywhere or anti-gravity cars would make our world like a Jetson cartoon, if it wasn't for the rich SOBs. Population would start to taper off I think they have said around 8 or 9 billion, which the world could probably sustain, had we the access to all the discoveries that is being hidden.

Answer 4

This is obviously a very young, very naive genie.

I would try and explain Darwinism.

That Life evolves because it competes.  

That if you kill the children of competent societies unless they start feeding incompetent ones, you simply breed incompetence.

Essentially I'd tell it that it cannot 'help' us because it lacks a fundamental understanding of life & nature.

If that didn't work I'd try an contact the genies parents & ask it they would direct their child to practice it's inane policies elsewhere.

And if that didn't work I would seek a method to kill the genie & it's  race for threatning my children.
