Re: Humanity is not immortal
We could stop spending this earth's wealth on the wrong things, like wars and weaponry. (If you don't produce a Joint Strike Fighter, think of the billions of dollars you could spend on the solutions to real problems - problems that matter
​
If people feel threatened, they make weapons. Everybody feels threatened.

Re: Humanity is not immortal
The problem is that people don't recognize a real threat when they see one. The weapons we should be making are not of the explosive kind. We should make "weapons" against climate change, against overpopulation, pollution, draught, et cetera.
​
Maybe so, but I don't think we can stop people from feeling threatened by other people. So they make weapons. I was just telling you why people make weapons.

Maybe there is no "population crisis."

Re: People are stupid
How stupid can we get?
​
I'm sure there's a limit.
​
But there's not much point in going on about the weapons. You can't stop that.
