In b4 someone posts manhattan beach project and actually believes it will happen.

it'll just be a nigger run wasteland. go to sleep and don't wake up

Yeah. Accept Jesus as your savior and live forever.

no

Raise your child to be just like you. Since he is just like you he will do the same. If there is an unbroken line of descendants you can see the future this way.

See, I fucking KNEW that bastard would do that.

Protip: It's not going to happen in 20 years.

>>1847058
Protip: Might not, but it WILL happen within the next 50.

>>1847054
Oh Inurdaes, you so muhamMAD.

>>1847062
1) Calling me a muslim/arab doesn't insult me in the slightest
2) I've explained myself to you several times that I'm not. You're most likely trolling, so continue making an asshattery out of yourself.

>>1847061
I'll be 70 by then.
I don't wish to extend my 70 y.o physique into forever.

>>1847066

>>1847066
20 years later, you still mad.

>>1847067
If I remember correctly you would actually start rewinding your body clock to a point soon after puberty stopped. So ~22 years old. Just rename yourself Benjamin Button and you're set.
>>1847071
>>1847070
Oh u

>>1847071
Protip: Maybe not, but I WILL be still mad within the next 50.

For about $150,000 you can cryo-preserve your whole body, and for $30,000-$50,000 you can preserve your brain.

First, there's a difference between anti-aging and unlocking the fountain of youth.
Second, I didn't know you're an allah person.
GTFO my /sci/.

>>1847088
Aging is the very process of degradation of cells. You die from this degrading. With the treatment, every new cell created is exactly how it would be created at the pinnacle of your body's progress, i.e. after puberty.
Also, I'm fully atheist, but some faggot decided since my family originally comes from Bosnia that MOOSLEMS EVERYWHERE TAKEN OVER OUR POLITICS DURKA OH NO

There are many Muslims who have helped advance our society and quality of life more than you likely ever will.

>>1847096
[citation needed]

>>1847096
You are talking about Muslims a thousand years ago, the ones who gave us the Arabic numerals.

Yea, some Muslim popped up and said math and science was evil, and the Middle east hasn't recovered since.

Christianity had the period of enlightenment. Muslims need something like that. Bad.

>>1847096
Not hardly as much as you'd think/should have given their swarmly numbers.
Also, those among them who can, are much better doing so without the aid of LOL MUHAMMED AND THE MONOLITH

>>1847096
And I admire them.
But look at the position all current muslim nations are at.
They haven't changed in centuries, and without the oil they'd be living in tents by now.
I'd give them all away for a couple of donuts.

I could go on about how most modern Muslims aren't what you think they are, and the ones that are are either blinded by politics or not true Muslims, but I'm tired and it's time for me to hit the sack.

>I'd give them all away for a couple of donuts.

You don't deserve to live.

>>1847112
Why not?
We already have way too many people on this rock.
I'm all for decimation. It makes things a little bit more interesting.
And hey, if you can feed little timmy for the same price?
It'll be a bargain.

>>1847117
Overpopulation is the shittiest myth ever.

Well that's because you're an idiot.

>>1847119
Right, because we only measure its magnitude by our food production capability.
Wake up.

>>1847119
Overpopulation is not a myth. It's just not an insurmountable obstacle. Hopefully by the time we reach this planet's carrying capacity, we will have the technology to leave this planet, and spread the plague of humanity to the stars, for the Glory of Mother Terra

>>1847121
>A mad muslim changed his post from "you don't deserve to live" to "you're an idiot" for the sake of damage control.
Sure is religion of peace in here, yo.

>>1847126
>By the time we reach
lolwut?
We've already reached it.
It's estimated at around 500 million people.
We've been able to strech it to several billions and will pretty much be able to strech it further by tech aids to over 10 billion in the future, but not without a terrible price.
Also, bitches don't know 'bout mah soil erosion.

>>1847124
It's less the question of can we sustain that many people, and more of is it profitable to sustain that many people.
>>1847126
I mean in the way that it doesn't fucking matter because by the time it becomes a problem we'll start pissing off en masse.

>>1847132
Profitable shouldn't be a question, but the pressure we exert on the natural world, which in my views is far too great.
Especially when we do it to support billions of useless people.

>>1847133
If we reached carrying capacity, death rate would necessarily equal death rate, and our society would collapse. A technologically enhanced carrying capacity is still a capacity. We're not there yet.

>>1847132
>pissing off en masse.
Meaning?
Leaving Earth or killing brown/black people?

>>1847142
>A technologically enhanced carrying capacity is still a capacity.
No, it's a forced carrying capacity.
We're overclocking the planet.
That's why it's heating up.
(But seriously, enhancement has its consequences).

>>1847117

I hate you and people like you so much. I honestly cannot express how deep my hatred for that kind of thinking runs. I bet you're a fucking libertarian you piece of shit.

A: Overpopulation as a major problem is blown way out of proportion and is for the most part bullshit.
B: If you think mass genocide makes things "a little more interesting" and is desirable, you are of extreme negative value to the human species.
C: If people started killing off all the close-minded elitist faggots like you I bet you'd piss your pants like a little bitch and start whining about the same rights you would so easily deny others.

Seems like I can contribute something here.

Is the OP still on-line?

>>1847141
Alright, let's say hypothetically that this is 2035, and that the entire world has basically converted to something along the lines of the Australia Project from Manna.
With no real financial constrains you could build huge skyscrapers, futuristic advanced cities in the deserts, and turn the deserts green with the sheer amount of robot power that can be manafactured and commanded. With 7 billion people living like that, pretty much never again do fossil fuels have to be emitted from transportation, etc, and recylcing doesn't 'cost' anymore. Recycling and efficiency are the two things we need to actually pay fucking attention to. We do that, we could support 25 billion people relatively easy with even less of an environmental impact than today. Assuming that robots post scarcity and so forth.

>>1847129

I'm not a Muslim, and I changed my post because it would bother my conscience to be able to so easily condemn someone, especially without even knowing them.

>>1847144
Leaving Earth.
>>1847150
Yay, it's futurebro.
Pics now?

>>1847147

If by "heating up" you are talking about global warming, do you really have so little faith in technology? Do you not think with future advancements our negative impact on the Earth will be reduced enough to support more people?

>>1847149
I also hate libertarians.
>verpopulation as a major problem is blown way out of proportion and is for the most part bullshit.
Actually, it's the exact opposite of it.
>If you think mass genocide makes things "a little more interesting" and is desirable, you are of extreme negative value to the human species.
I'm perfectly fine with that.
>If people started killing off all the close-minded elitist faggots like you I bet you'd piss your pants like a little bitch and start whining about the same rights you would so easily deny others.
Execpt they'd be killing us due to ignorance and narrow-mindedness.
We'd be killing them due to their inferior biological quality as organisms.

>Captcha: disisop Khalid
Yeah, pretty much.

>>1847158

I explained the picture situation. If I'm asked every time I post I'll just stop posting.

>>1847151
I haven't read that much bullshit since the last time I've read an equal or greater amount of bullshit.

25 billion people?
Are you delusional?

>>1847167
Why the fuck do you guys keep assuming I want more people to be supported to being with?
And no, I do not.

>>1847170
>sea bro
Waaaaaaaait....
>>1847173
>25 billion people?
>Are you delusional?
It's most probably never going to get past 15 billion, but no, the Earth doesn't have such a limited carrying capacity as people might think.

>Useless people

Life isn't about how much "use" you can be of. People can be all sorts of different types of valuable, not just in whatever happens to be your favorite scientific field.

Is your mom valuable?
Is your best friend valuable?
Is every person you love, like or respect valuable?
Are you valuable?

If your answer to any of those questions is no, should they be killed?

>>1847173

World population is estimated at 10 billion. But he's right about automation, though it took much longer than that to construct all of the infrastructure.

>>1847182
allah lets little girls run around without tops :<

>>1847179
Use is subjective. I do not mean it in the financial sense.
And in some cases yes, they should.

>>1847187
WHERE DO I SIGN UP?!

>>1847178
Welp, there goes my escapism.

>>1847168

>killing a group of people due to what you consider inferior biological quality as organisms
>not being an ignorant extremist

mutually exclusive

>>1847176

You first though, right?

ITT: a 15 y.o misanthrope, a mad muslim and a bunch of trolls.

>>1847192
Lol @ same old, same old arguments.

>>1847149
>A: Overpopulation as a major problem is blown way out of proportion and is for the most part bullshit.
How exactly is it bullshit? I was under the impression that overpopulation was a huge concern. Can you elaborate on that statement and provide a source please?

>>1847203
Not that guy but it mainly seems to be a problem because it is the undeveloped countries with lots of people now developing, while still using the same inefficient, finite and polluting resources etc etc.

>>1847203
No he can't, he's a leftist humanist that probably lives in a western nation and would like to see his well being maintained.

bump for slightly interesting topic

If you used all of the surface area of this world you could have a 60/km2 density If our population was at 9 billion. That's also not including the oceans. Anchorage, Alaska has a population density of 63 / km². Your Malthusian argument is invalid.
