Re: Shinobi Girl
Don't lie, John. You didn't think that was a good point. Right now, you're itching to type up a wall of text to counter it.
That or you just made the smallest post you've ever written here.
I think i made a post somewhere with just "...".
Anyway, for once hooker seems to have made a good point, it is so simple and true that i can't find any good reason to try to prove it wrong, mostly because i think reducing the population would extremely effective in fighting pollution, but i guess we should still consider other ways of realizing this ideal, rather than using incinerators, even the most advanced prototypes still can reach a complete perfect combustion. Also considering that the human body is mostly composed of water, it doesn't burn particularly well either, there would be a need for other substances to fuel and mantain alive the combustion for prolonged amount of times, the amount of effective energy we can produce from humans would be rather small and the cost would be too high to justify it's use as an energy source.
I've been thinking about the way machines use humans as batteries in Matrix, but the cost to produce the tecnology and structures would be prohibitive, also the maintenance and management would would require a lot of manpower and resources, although this could be a positive thing considering it would open new job opportunities, but with a reduced population that could not be a problem anymore.
The most effective way to use humans as resources that comes to mind is using them as food, fertilizer, organ transplanting, blood samples and other biological products that are used in everyday's life, the only real cost would come from storage facilities, refrigeration would be a must to keep the products usable for prolonged amount of times, but it shouldn't be very expensive and is pretty much already avaiable. Could always keep some as livestock or pets, who wouldn't want a pretty girl as a pet?
This would be a far more effective way of handling the wide variety of resources one could obtain from the human surplus, than just plainly burning them.
If it wasn't for things like morals and ethics, what a wonderful world this could be?
Damn you Dark, look what you made me do...it's all your fault is an idiot pops out and takes me seriously!
