quote dingo; "I'd rather save a baboon than all the genius Hitler's running around."
That says geniuses are Hitlers. The path of human evolution was toward higher intelligence, and better looks (but if you think baboon asses are nice, yuck!)
Wars became non- then reversely evolutional and did not achieve the goals from the past of keeping the population low and strong.
So we have the accelerating dumbing down of the world, with the greedy making sure we kill the biosphere after they have made their millions and lived their phony lives.
I said that reducing the population to sustainable and of evolutionary higher intelligence, looks and strength just will never be done. That is unfortunate that humans have upset evolution and overpopulated and polluted way too much with hundreds of times the Earth's ability to process.
The crash will occur within 20 years or so, and you will live to see the horror. If we are very lucky, Cascadia, La Palma and Katla will all happen within a decade, or the super-volcanic eruption of Yellowstone (only in time if forced by human hands).
I'm 65 and may just see it myself rather than all the preludes.
Anyways... Actually it wouldn't be impossible, although any family who has more than about 10 kids, you start you wonder about their sanity.
