Stephen Hawking Asks The Internet a Question
An anonymous reader writes "Dr. Stephen Hawking received about 15000 answers to a question he posted 2 days ago on Yahoo Answers. His question was 'How can the human race survive the next hundred years?'." I imagine you can do better than 'It Can't.' How would you answer Dr. Hawking's question?
The population will never stabilize without help and the best way to stabilize the population is to kill people. World war III would solve a lot of the worlds problems. Think about it, say we kill off 5 billion people leaving only 1 billion. Now people are more spread out, when you rebuild you won't have as much overcrowding. Its a kind of fresh start, where everyone appreciates what they have because they saw how close the came to loseing everything. On the plus side after civilization collapses there will be no health care, allowing people with health problems to die off thus raiseing the health of future generations.
