Take the airbags, shatterproof glass, seatbelts, and antilock brakes from the car… you might survive the crash… but the odds of survival are far better when those buffers remain. Time for better vertical farming and focused hydroponics.

Whether the sample dataset is representative of the population being described plays a sizable role, too. Selection of the source data and how that’s accomplished. What feeds it largely dictates what it poops out.

Biologists tend to realize that any category we invent will be imperfect and nearly always will have exceptions. They are open to interpretation and often if you ask 10 different people what is a species or subspecies you’ll get 10 different answers. The categories are not rigid and are only applied if and when they useful to whatever outcome we’re trying to achieve, but it’s not exactly like Mach 1 where you know that if you accelerate just 1 more mph then THAT is when you’ll break the sound barrier. https://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolution-101/speciation/defining-a-species/

Completely unacceptable. How dare you be human, or worse still, only as good as ChatGPT!

When you were young? Lol. That was still true a dozen years ago when you were 60. Replace “people” with “most trump supporters” and we agree. Also DeSantis and Ramaswamy, FWIW And whomever fits those criteria now across regions outside of the US. Always and in all places people have both progressed and retarded our culture. It matters what we stand for. What we stand UP for. And what we stand against.

Why stop there? Feed them kelp. We all evolved from fish, after all.

Yep. Exactly. It’s so nice being understood. /snark

Balance restored

Not all dog foods are the same, but essentially all have meat. All you’re proposing is subtracting balance from a diet, not improving it.

Chickens are decent people.

And yet it still exists. Non cogito, et tamen sum

Some are. Some are not. Correct

That’s the apple of the earth right there. There’s a spot for that, it’s available, I swear.

Potato

You appear to be experiencing a comprehension problem. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/is-our-tendency-to-experi/#:~:text=The specific form that fear,has a clear genetic component.

Not everything you read on the internet is true What similarities do you see between fear of snakes and fear of who those snakes happen to love and find sexually appealing?

I’m not aware of any studies confirming this, but anecdotal feedback strongly suggests those latter redundancies seem to reduce for approximately 18 years after successful parturition. This will still allow a tyranny of the majority to win out, for (while it’s not always zero sum) sometimes benefit to one party must come at the expense of another. I liked how swansont said this recently: There is no equality in the choice of what to have for dinner if 3 of those voting are wolves and 1 is a sheep. Systems must be in place to minimize this and agreements between parties require governance for enforcement.

Not everything you read on the internet is true. That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

As I already stated myself. And this is why I neg repped you. Whatever happened to disagreeing without being disagreeable? Not every post needs to be full of barbs and trolls.

It's also not fast enough to address the problems we're facing (as Ken pointed out above)

No trolling, just trying to point out the obvious. Whenever the subject of overpopulation comes up, there is a chorus of people suggesting the need for population control. Control is a very specific word. It implies removing life or preventing it from starting. We all support education, eradication of poverty, destruction of patriarchal rules forcing women into motherhood, etc., but those are different things. They are NOT population control. They are progress accelerators with a side benefit of reduced birth rates. So, just say that. "I support progress accelerators that bring the side benefit of reduced births," not "part of the solution here must include population CONTROL." /pedant

Me either, but we need to stop saying it’ll be part of the solution until we figure it out. Until then, it’s similar to saying we need to migrate to other star systems… ok, sure, but how?

Who gets to decide which potential parents get sterilized and by what method their genetic line terminates with them?
