Actually, the alumminium foil hats were backdoored by govt. to conspiracy theory enthusiasts.

They believe they are repelling the mind reading waves, but in fact they are making boiling your head a lot easier.

Like a roast in an oven.

Yes, but it will be easier to keep a limit on the population (I think). Just letting it slide will add to more problems later on.

Yeap. It will probably take some eccentric billionaire syndicate (see SpaceX) to see any change, normal governments or corporations won't be enough.
Haha, I didn't know that. You learn something useful and some useless information everyday. :P

Muggings are going to get pretty bad, when they have to cut off your hand everytime they want to steal a modest amount from your wallet.

So they can use our brains as bait during the zombie apocalypse. That's cunning!

"Hands up" would take on a whole new meaning. I like the idea of implanted universal chips, but only if the readers are shaped like hands so we pay for things by high-fiving.

Exactly. They are seasoning your brain with oregano and pepper while you sleep.

You know many of the "we can support many more people than we currently do" theories basically say that we can, but also involve using large amounts of resources to get there and also involve intensifying and extending farming practices (ergo vastly increasing the reduction of wild habitats)

In short yeah we can support many more people, but not without a cost. The cost is a far more rapid depletion of limited resources as well as depletion of resources beyond their ability to restore - as well as loss of ecosystems.



That said a great many poverty stricken countries could have significantly more food if stores and surplus from developed nations was more effectively shipped to them (instead much of it just goes to waste and ruin).



My view is population control will become something we have to pay attention to. If you don't you generally get one of a few reactions:
1) war - always good at lowering populations

2) disease - always a good natural balance as well to an overly populated species

3) increase in forced population control methods (China is a great example of where this became a needed policy).

Increasing education in family planning and contraceptive methods; increasing the validity of women in the workplace (ergo changing their social role to include more than just child production and raising); increasing the availability of contraceptives; removing social and religious barriers to family planning methods etc... are all great ways to naturally allow the social structure to lean toward a reduction in populations (heck it already happens at a very slow rate with many western peoples - its balanced out somewhat in those countries though by a higher influx of migrants).

Yeah if you want to see how imperialistic America was, look at history.

Well, maybe it'll eliminate muggings! But maybe the scanners will also do a "life" scan at the same time to make sure the hand isn't being carried around by someone it doesn't belong to. :-)

hah, religious crazy people, you never cease to amaze me.

Regarding the link in the topic, this is quite probable. Seeing what the US govt was and is capable of doing to its own citizens...

The other problem with aluminum foil hats? They interfere with my magnetic wrist band and holistic crystals. Decisions, decisions....

"In the year 3535
Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lie
Everything you think, do and say
Is in the pill you took today."

In this case it's really easy to lie to the guys administering it about what it is (smoke screen).

The towers on 9/11 were not wired to blow (how would you convince the amount of demomen needed that they were only wiring up fluffy bunnies?). There's no such thing as chem trails (otherwise, our government is doing an amazing job of sabotaging every jet on the planet. Even the ones privately built).

Oh, while we're discussing that topic.

Waht about chembusters and cloudbusters? Does tinfoil affect the chembuster ability to dispearse chemical trails the govt leaves in air to poison us?
