Zuckerberg Chan Bad Idea : Eradicate All Disease

Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg and wife Priscilla Chan announced today that they will circle $3 billion of their total net worth of approximately $50 billion "... to cure or eradicate all disease by the end of the century...". Who says yesterdays values aren't around any more? Pardon me but the disease that is killing us all is over population. Which is totally curable.Talk to our people at the Pentagon for an estimate of what the job would take on a short term time frame. Short of the worlds munition we all are on a slow motion extinction trajectory because of lack of natural necessities.You know water, clean air livable space etc.So why do we want to cure disease? Wouldn't population control measures in most any form be better in the long run? Whats the Zuck thinking ? We are at 7 billion world population now. So if he is marginally successful in prolonging life 10 billion is a generation or two away.Where will they all live? What will they eat? Why do we want them in any scenario?Maybe Zuck wants them for Facebook members? What are they going to use for money?Imagine what the net worth of the tenth billionth person.Maybe a $1.50.Cant generate top line growth at Facebook with that number.Maybe Facebook could prosper on people worth $1.50.But only if the people got barcoded on their forehead with a "like" icon. That way Facebook scanners could charge the barcoded customer $ 1.50 on every New Years Day therby indebting the Facebook member his/hers net worth for that year. Which makes the bankrupt person a slave and subject to Zuckerberg/Chan whims for the years remainder.

How Many People Do We Want On The Planet?

Ebola virus has the potential to kill millions. It could kill billions. That's an argument for sending help to Africa to stop the worse case scenario of a world wide pandemic.Superficially it's the wise decision.But Ebola is a symptom of the basic problem of lack of nutrition for overpopulated areas and also accompanying hygiene issues.So if we contain Ebola then we necessarily have to address nutrition and hygiene challenges.That is challenge that no one wants to talk about. Because we don't have the resources.It follows then we have to make a decision of how many people we want to limit to a global population.Right now nature says we have gone over the optimum number many years ago. My own reckoning gives 1970 as the year.The world population at that time was approximately 3.7 billion.That's roughly half of where we are today.In the late seventies world fish stocks plummeted 80% over the next decade and scarcely have recovered.Similar percentage losses in bird also were documented. Global pollution is written about daily and is getting worse.Do we have another 40 years left? Sure but what kind of planet will be looking at? And what kind of life will be living?Not hopeful. Let nature take its course with Ebola in Africa. We have to start somewhere.Africa is where it all began.
