I thought that's what the OP meant when he said,

In the light / darkness of the above, what did you mean when you said, "Let's try both and see which works better?" How can we try anything at all?

It appears that your suggestion is to look for a needle in a haystack without knowing anything about the needle or the haystack.

This would be good to achieve regardless of it resulting or not in reducing population and regardless of such reduction solving or not any of the problems such as "using up the resources and killing every other species ... heat[ing] up the atmosphere and threaten[ing] nuclear holocaust." But, to achieve the above, it is not clear, "[g]iven the present state of politics, economics, religiosity and environmental conditions - who [bearing in mind there is no unanimous "we", only individuals and organizations] should be doing what, how where and with what resources", and if we have time to do it and to see the results.

Unlike reducing population, reducing craziness consists of a set of separate goals, which perhaps will require different answers. Answers pertaining to this thread's topic are known. Reducing population, as you know, will not necessarily solve this problem, and is not easier than other answers. It will not necessarily solve other components of the craziness either.

Then the answer is reduction of the craziness.

I still don't understand what your suggestion is. To look for infra-red sources in the Kuiper Belt?

What for? Why to reduce population at all?

OK, I'll bite. Wish 1: somebody solves the quantum gravity conundrum.

Yes, this is just conjecture. OTOH, the quote above is just words. Instead, those who claim they believe that 90% of UFO's are alien just need to replace my prior of 1% with their prior of 90% and calculate again: P(A/E) = P(E/A)*P(A)/P(E) = 0.5*0.9/0.9 = 0.5 The result is that their prior of 90%, after getting a report of a new siting which then gets explained naturally, should reasonably go down to 50%.

Just for fun, I've decided to run a little exercise in Bayesian inference. Let's say I am open-minded and believe that there is 1% chance of a UFO siting to be alien related. This is my "prior", P(A). Let's say about 90% of all UFO sitings have natural explanations. This is P(E). Let's say that even an alien related siting has 50% chance to be explained naturally. This is P(E/A). Now somebody reports a new siting, and somebody else points out a natural explanation to it. My new, updated believe in a chance of a UFO siting to be alien related is, P(A/E) = P(E/A)*P(A)/P(E) = 0.5*0.01/0.9 = 0.0056 So, I'm still open-minded but my confidence in alien related UFOs went down from 1% to 0.56%.

No, it does not.

I use it to benefit the animal shelter.

"Quantum theory is based on what is known as Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle" like Euclidean geometry is based on Pythagorean theorem.

In this article in NYT, In a Parallel Universe, Another You - The New York Times (nytimes.com), Michio Kaku said, If so, and the world is quantum mechanical, the uncertainty principle explains not only "lasers, transistors, internet and computers", but everything in the world.

What do you mean, optimize? Minimize? If so, it is a very narrow programmer's perspective.

The algorithm uses the fact that if x is GCD of a and b then it is GCD of a and b % a. It looks for the GCD using recursion. For example, take 21 and 15. Look for their GCD. 21 % 15 = 6. Look for GCD of 15 and 6. 15 % 6 = 3. Look for GCD of 6 and 3. 6 % 3 = 0. Aha! Return 3, this is the GCD.

Yes, I'm quite sure. The spacetime metric outside a non-rotating spherically symmetric body is the Schwarzschild one. Not inside, though. The first object would have a bigger part of its trajectory inside the Earth than the second one. So, their trajectories would go through different spacetime metrics.

I think the trajectories would be different in both, the GR and the Newtonian gravity. Why do you think they would be identical in GR?

Sat in a room? Luxury:

Yes. None. In some places, a lot. On average, about as much as anywhere else.

Isn't humanity a nature's product?
