Grand idea. I can think of no possible example, historical or otherwise, as to when that went horribly wrong. You sir should be made president of all mankind.

I deduce from this example of rhetoric that you're a reddit user, which is unfortunate. What are you actually trying to say?

Btw, we have more humans on this planet than ever before in history with no sign of slowing down and you're worried about extinction?

If you've read about variations in mammal populations, that sentence alone should trigger a pattern recognition response. But it looks like you stopped before reading the second paragraph, the third sentence in particular.

*BTW, what kind or type of books do you hoard?

    Why do you think all these "deviants" are popping up?

    There are several causes that tend to be unpopular to discuss, but that doesn't excuse the deviation. It more highlights a quality control issue.

    The susceptibility to defect is a separate problem from the process exposing the defect, or worse, needlessly creating a defect. I'm not saying the causes corrupting our process shouldn't also be addressed.

    I've read about behavioral sink and the rat utopia experiment.

    Fun stuff, eh? Then you're familiar with that basis for extinction. To extend those experiments into somewhat of a metaphor, what if they had been conducted in northern Canada in the winter, and a storm knocked out the power for a few years. Something along that line is approaching our solar system, and one of the initial symptoms is the accelerating polar drift.

    Remember how the Carrington Event caused a 180 reversal in the drift? If that mild CME happened today, our society would be without electricity (and electronics) for at least a year or more. No food deliveries. No trucks to deliver the food. No factories to build new trucks. It would be bad news for our nuclear power plants scattered across our countries. How well do you think our society will do in a "everything you eat is produced by you without electricity" situation.

    If you have 10 minutes, this video will give you some hints. Starts slow, but be patient.

      It also depends on how you define "deviation." As a woman married to another woman, I'm a deviant in at least one major sense of the word.

      Agreed. However, being as far to the right of Hitler as I pride myself on, being an absolutist is the sure path to error and failure in the human realm. I agree with much of what you say, and were I still in that position, would be inclined to accept you-in-particular as neighbors. Despite my disagreement with the choices you've made, stuff happens in our lives and we adapt. You can't always just kill yourself when your options seem limited.

      Just ran across that other channel that covers the same material. I'm going to cheat by copying part of the comment reply I just sent to socks.

      Just checked in my book. Here's a quote from the last page of their 115 page paperback (The next end of the world), that followed the textbook.

      Earth's magnetic field will decrease to the point where modern society breaks down between 2030 and 2050.

      I think he's moved that date up a little, based on the most recent accelerating spin data. See the past few daily updates. It's really interesting to watch this evolving, but I kind of hope he's totally full of shit. I've almost died, and am now living in a sort of 'bonus round', but having our planet being seared of most life is inexplicably more frightening than my individual death. Weird, huh?

          I will say there is not much if anything about about Nazi ideology I agree with.

          Can I ask what you disagree with the most about Nazi ideology? I don't place much faith or belief in political labels, and even principles can depend on the situation and circumstances. Much of what I think is Nazi ideology seems reasonable and even necessary under their circumstances. I'm curious to hear what you think they did wrong. I know a lot of people think they shouldn't have tried to set the jews up with their own homeland, for example, but what do you think?

          I still believe in the Christian principle of loving one's enemies.

          This is a hard one for me, but I can see how that mindset is beneficial. However, I think it depends on how you define enemy, and the intensity of animosity. Someone coming at you with a knife with intent to cut your head off is not very lovable, and it would be suicidal to not violently resist their advances. There's more room for the love approach in situations not physically violent, but there's a line in there somewhere.

          On the free speech issue, I tend to disagree with the idea that you should be fair to those out to destroy you. This was the mistake we made back in the 60s, when we handed our enemies the weapon of free speech. They've subsequently used that weapon to degrade and destroy our society to the point where children are having their genitals mutilated beyond salvage. It started with the pornography. Now they're working on promoting adult sex with children. This is what free speech for everyone leads to.
