716

According to the Georgia Guide Pile-of-Rocks, the earth should only host 500 million people. That means 7.5 billion must die. That means 15 out of 16 must die all at once in some catastrophic event. (or slowly over the next few decades?) If monetary value was the only determining factor, how much money would you need to be in the top 5%? Based on net worth and income, to make the cut you'd have to be worth at least.... a million? wait... 10 million? I can't figure this out, but it's a number that can be calculated based on available figures. I'm just not savvy enough to figure out what the top 5% of net worth is. I'm pretty sure there aren't 500 million billionaires alive today.

If you kill 7.5 billion people in a rahter short perior of time on this planet you get a planet where money is pretty much worthless

It's before the culling that you need money (fiat), because during the culling it's going to be a mess of biblical proportions... I mean try to picture 7.5 BILLION people dying over a decade... You can't. The closest thing you can picture is madmax...

Now picture yourself in madmax with "money"... Or even gold... What are you going to do with that? Nobody is going to give two shits about your stamp collection and your shiny rocks

You need real assets, such as guns and a fucking bunker saddam hussein style, and you need them BEFORE the culling starts...

7.5 billion people...

It's the fucking apocalypse

Now idk if that's going to happen, but if it does, chances are, the survivors will get a giant steaming pile of shit for planet. Take france for instance, 50 nuclear powerplants... Imagine what it's going to deliver in terms of pollution without maintenance... Good luck with that

And that's just for france's nuclear powerplants.... Consider the rest, other countries, BSL4 facilities, etc...

There has got to be a better way. A little fucking lens can make fire if you direct sunlight onto a pile of dried grass. Trees are solar energy storage. Burning wood is zero sum energy. ...It's recycling on a global scale. But you can boil water with solar energy. Boiled water produces steam. Steam is a source of power that we have discarded for oil. . What do they mean by "coal-fired" nuclear plants?

I dont follow, where are you getting at?

All energy we produce/consume on earth is inherently "renewable". Remember Carl Sagan saying, "we are all made of star-stuff"? It's the same philosophy. Why should we worry about oil or nuclear power plants when every bit of energy produced on earth is in a restricted environment confined by our orbit around the sun?

We are living on a sweet, sweet planet. The Good Earth is Good.

But if every human on earth had to be killed except for the richest of the rich, would you survive?
