You can say that number over and over again, but truly it’s a number that cannot be fathomed or understood (like the popularity of Justin Bieber).
This has riled some people up…Saying the Earth cannot support this many people (which is obviously false as…In case you didn’t notice…We’re still alive…)
Imagine being in a tiny, 2-piece bathroom with just 7 people…Then multiply that by a billion…Shit would get cramped.
So why aren’t we shoulder to shoulder with people non-stop?
Because the world is HUGE!
We just don’t live in all of it….
Think about Canada…Vast country (2nd largest in the world) and yet…Teeny-tiny population (in comparison to its size). Canada is like the global opposite of Tokyo. Canada is 9.9 million square miles of land with 34 million people…Tokyo is one city area with 30 million people…The CITY of Tokyo almost has the same amount of people as the entire COUNTRY of Canada…
Sure, a large piece of the unpopulated areas around the world are seen as “uninhabitable” but, I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before that label will have to be thrown out the window…
But “domesticating” these uninhabitable places will be tough and expensive…And since I’m always looking to save a buck…A far better solution (in my mind) would be to just start limiting our population (no, I’m not talking “ethnic cleansing” or “everybody in the ovens…”)
I think a simple test (created by me…Obviously…It’s my idea after all…) should be doled out at certain intervals throughout people’s lives.
Test 1 – at age 5 (not many will fail this test…But we can certainly weed out the “glue eaters” in some cases)
Test 2 – at age 16 (this allows plenty of time for personality development, and should be instituted as a prerequisite to being allowed to drive. This level will also take into account IQ, so far…)
Test 3 – at age 25 (school should be completed, career should be started or at least chosen…If not, I hope you had a good 25 years, because you ain’t getting’ no more…Plus a person who passes this level should indicate that they could also be a good parent…Leading to better offspring, ultimately raising global IQ)
Test 4 – at age 40 (this one is easier, if you’ve passed the previous tests, it should be no problem…Just a “check-up” to make sure you are still not a douche…No rubber gloved finger in this check-up though…)
Test 5 – at age 60 (final test…This one helps to determine whether you are fit for regular society, or if you should be placed in a retirement home…Will also include another driving test so as to vanquish the “Sunday drivers”)
There you have it…5 simple tests to determine if you are fit to continue living in my world…I mean OUR world…Also, that your IQ is at an acceptable level so as to continue the “survival of the fittest”…
