"When left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse" , Murphy


This... doesn't really help me right now, but resonates a lot with my current understanding of the world.


Yes, that's correct. The challenge is to accept that and go with the flow, rather than trying to swim upstream.


Love this, applies to so many things.


We, as species, are invasive parasites. If you want to do some good for the future of the human kind, environment and this planet, invest your time in research about reducing human population by at least 2/3 without compromising future scientific discoveries and advances.


Sexual education, especially about birth control. Make birth control affordable. Make adoption mainstream/ preferred to having your own kids.

I agree that we have an overpopulation issue, we don't have the resources to support this many people currently. But calling people parasites is probably getting you downvoted.


Most likely that is the reson for down votes. I don't mean that in a bad way. We are what we are - invasive parasites. Homo sapiens wiped every(thing|one) out: deus, erectus, habilis etc. Overpopulation is the real cause of most of serious problems and future endangerment of our species. The king is naked.
