Re: How would you control the world population?
We really don't need to do much - just make birth control an over-the-counter drug. I would assume it would also become cheaper that way, which will create even less excuses for people not to use it.
Most people will say they eventually want a kid, but not right now, so it's not hard to work with that.

Re: How would you control the world population?
I didn't suggest anything of the kind. That's your shtick.
I disagree that society deserves consideration.
Life is not a question of merit; society deserves nothing more nor less than what it does to itself.
More blather.Emotional understanding may be essential to appreciate the value of life including the human obligation for sexual discrimination.
You haven't met LVX1 http://blogs.up.edu.pe/nubes/wp-content ... Dreams.pdf, Andrew https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0182789/or David https://www.avclub.com/in-a-i-steven-sp ... 1823639106 or Number 5 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9h_-TIM3kdEA robot is incapable of emotional discrimination.
That's why we need to empower ourselves, which entails casting off the shackles of religion. Some of those priests were not evil human beings; they just chose an evil profession. I'm quite happy to spare any who want to quit, as long as they're sterilized and never preach again.as of now we will have to depend on disease, natural catastrophes, and wars to control population

The smoke clears. We see that the robots are incapable of feeling value. Data in the Star Trek series always wanted to be able to feel. Secularized religion often creates representatives who corrupt emotion. So since nothing is understood, it's everyone for themselves and just do what you want. Everything remains the same and whatever happens just happens. The result is: "The beat goes on la la la la, the beat goes on.That's why we need to empower ourselves, which entails casting off the shackles of religion.

Free will is a difficult concept. You will placed in the running to be awarded the most coveted brass figlagee with bronze oak leaf palm if you can explain the difference between free will and reaction to desire.
Re: How would you control the world population?
Indeed Nick, it's really important to ignore all notions of balance and moderation. We cannot have that, can we?
Thus, as far as you are concerned in your Trumpian quasi-evangelist worldview, we must never realistically balance logic and emotion ... you know, like humans usually do without fussing about it.
However, if we are talking philosophy, your tendency towards outbursts and telling outrageous porkies without even a hint of even recognition that you lied is not helpful. Yes, that approach is working for the POTUS at the moment but it may yet catch up with him, as lying often does.
So, stripping away the distracting Nickery of it all, we are back to controlling the world population by education - or just leaving the matter for the world to do what it does during imbalances. That's basically where we are up to ATM.

Re: How would you control the world population?
Your hostility demonstrates why the balance of logic and emotion is so difficult. You are guided by learned negative emotions and the demand that they be served. In America, entitlements are the rage of the day and supported by the expressions of negative emotions. What kind of education resolves that attitude? You want balance where it is impossible. Until you witness it in yourself you will continue to believe education is taken seriously.Greta wrote: ↑Sat Jul 21, 2018 5:02 am Indeed Nick, it's really important to ignore all notions of balance and moderation.

So the reality is that everything will just happen in response to natural laws including populations. What does that say for human intelligence?
Re: How would you control the world population?
In the age of reason: I decide whether to replicate myself, and whether and how long my life is worth extending - I don't leave those decisions either to some "emotional respect for life", (which in practice usually means: God values life, not the person wearing it; the longer you hurt, the happier he is) or to a robot (technically, it would be the central computer that makes the decision; the robots merely carry it out. I assume you get to listen to Vivaldi and watch movies of long-extinct wildlife).
Keep your brass, in case someday you understand this yourself.
Meantime, just keep tra-la-laing.
Re: How would you control the world population?
Do you decide or is the decision made for you by your habits and conditioning? Reactions to desires are the result of human nature, habits, and conditioning. Free will requires a quality of consciousness which enables decisions free from conditioning and habits.. From this perspective only a rare few have free will. Greta suggests education to counter the population issue. This quality of education is aimed at creating conditioning and habits. But creatures of reaction easily change beliefs from the proper stimulation. What then happens to education?Skip wrote: ↑Sat Jul 21, 2018 2:45 pmIn the age of reason: I decide whether to replicate myself, and whether and how long my life is worth extending - I don't leave those decisions either to some "emotional respect for life", (which in practice usually means: God values life, not the person wearing it; the longer you hurt, the happier he is) or to a robot (technically, it would be the central computer that makes the decision; the robots merely carry it out.

Suppose a girl entered college conditioned to believe in what education is. She didn’t enter with the conscious intention to get pregnant but it happened. Is her pregnancy the result of free will or reactions to desires?

IOW You lack "this quality" of education.Greta suggests education to counter the population issue. This quality of education is aimed at creating conditioning and habits.
It's a result of having sex with a boy. If you'd had education, you would know this and not believe that virgins can get pregnant just by wishing.Suppose a girl entered college conditioned to believe in what education is.

It doesn't much matter, as long as she has access to free, safe abortion, good prenatal care, and maternal support or adoption service - whichever she wants.
Re: How would you control the world population?
The classic belief is that pregnancy involves her womb, not her curriculum.

Yes the modern solution to the problem of a growing population. Kill first and ask questions later. That is why we need impartial robots to decide every five years if you are worthy of life or if you should be aborted as inconvenient from the great collective you are a part of.It doesn't much matter, as long as she has access to free, safe abortion,
