  • First point: fair enough, I see the flaw. But then we’re changing to a more ethical dilemma: does a charismatic person deserve more chance to live?

    Second point: with half the population left, there is more time to solve things (caused by humanity). Global warming, for example, will likely be solved by just the snap alone.

    Maybe he could have made it that every female can only bare 2 children, that would gradually reduce population. But that would put a huge strain on the younger generation to take care of the elder.


  • About the 2 faction problem, theoretically 50% of each faction will be gone. Chances are big that the power balance remains the same. But you can idd argue that making 1 faction completely dissappear is also 50% and statistically possible.

    About the influential people (let add geniuses to be complete). Those persons are not unique, nobody is irreplaceable. Someone else will step up to be equally influential, Someone else will figure stuff out.

    The reason he choose that action is not to be biased and give everyone an equally 50% chance of survival. In his eyes, a cleaning lady deserves an equal chance to a CEO.





  • Yes it burns at the plexus and throat. I find it less so when I filter the (bottled) water in a brita filter (cartridged filters) but then it tastes funny. So I actually never drink water.

    What is even weirder if I drink those water bottle with a slight hint of flavor, no reflux. Might be a mental problem?

    I don’t experience what you have.

    My parents provided me with a good life. And they used the things that causes global warming to do so, as do you while posting the internet.

    They brought me to school when it rained with their car. Bought a color tv, vcr and Nintendo to keep me entertained. We went on holidays during summer with the car or a plane. We went to see car races, went karting. We did boat trips. And I enjoyed every bit of it.

    Everyone blaming that generation for global warming. While their survival chances were uplifted times 100 because of hygiene. Clean clothes, warm houses, safe and dry traveling. Electronicss for learning. 1/3 of the people complaining about them causing global warming wouldn’t even survived or be here to complain about it if that generation didn’t use the tools at their disposal.

    Everyone thinking that generation caused it and they themselves did not benefit from it are just hypocrites.

    That said, we should try and minimize global warming.

    Yes exactly, lead and criminality is a proven statistics but came only late in the research, correlating takes time.

    You see the rise in lgbt, it just might be that the population is more tolerant and they don’t have to hide anymore (at least where I live) or there are idd external factors at play.

    I dont mean to offend anyone with this, you do as you feel best about yourself.

    It is an open conversation and instead of downvoting, I would really like people to tell me why this cannot a plausible link
