Ärende: Presumptuous questions
==============================
Hello Björn,

 BF>>> The above is *not* a serious question.

 LL>> Yes, it is.

 BF> No, it is not.

What's wrong?  Not able to answer the question?
Maybe you are not the political scientist/economist
you claim to be, and it is all a make believe world
of fantasy on your part?  That would explain the
insults and name calling when it comes to answering
seriously difficult questions such as those posed
by Tim ...

 BF> I take it you don't have any kids either?

Hell if I know.  Only the woman can know for sure.
And even then, she might not know.  Or care.

 BF> Kids that eventually will ask you what you did to assist in preventing the
 BF> present, ongoing climate disaster from eradicating the human being from
 BF> this planet.

Kids, no matter where they are from, or whose
kids they might be, are much more interested in
playing marbles with other kids than asking adults
about climate change or other real world topics.
In fact, kids are not really interested at all
in what adults do, or think, as kids live in a
kids' world, far different than the one adults
expect and have grown used to.

 BF> This planet can support circa 4 milliard human beings.

This planet can easily support more than
100 millard human beings.  Just because we
do a piss-poor job of allocating scarce
resources does not mean we have to limit
ourselves to a lesser number.

 BF> At the moment we are more than 7 milliard.

A miniscule amount, given the number of
human beings this planet can support.
Especially given the fact that ALL of
the current population on Earth can be
housed and fed in the great state of
Texas alone.

 BF> Go figure...

I did.  And that was just for
housing and feeding people on the
surface of this planet.  Actually,
on a small fraction of the surface
of this planet.

That figure of 100 milliard human
beings is an extremely conservative
estimate on my part, pertaining
only to a fraction of the surface
of this planet.  Now imagine how
many human beings can be housed
and fed if that area was to be
expanded in other ways, such as
building cities beneath the sea,
or inside of mountains, etc.

The fact of the matter is countries
in the civilized part of the world
are destroying themselves by having
declining populations, while countries
in the third world continue to expand
their populations.  In order for the
civilized countries in the world to
survive, they must import human beings
from third world countries and teach
them how to behave.  But nobody
really wants to behave anymore, thus
causing a problem for places such
as Paris, France where jihadists go
around shooting up cartoonists and
comedians.
