Laying Blame: Population vs. Consumption

[NoOneMan]

29. I don't really think that has a clear relationship to happiness and suffering.

Suffering longer doesn't mean we have better lives.

Though, I would imagine it should have some part in a composite view.

Here is an interesting thought....what if the technology and infrastructure to prolong lifespans could only be establish and maintained as long as everyone worked longer, harder hours? Well, thats a trade-off. What if the temporary enhancement in lifespans takes so much energy and production that it ensures a bottleneck event that will kill billions? That is certainly worth consideration.

Now, I don't think living to a ripe ol age of a 25 year old headhunter is preferable for everyone. But hell, maybe some people. Speaking of headhunters, I recently watched a movie that "romanticized" the culture (quite well). Certainly was an interesting take I'd never thought of before.
