The idealized future in my option has something like 1/1000th of the current population

It’s thermodynamically impossible for 8-10Billon animals that have no satiation reflex and limited coordination capacity to live on a resource limited rock

Absolute Best case future is what I wrote in 2025 which is basically humans living in care facilities managed by machines:

Okay! You first though. What, still here?

[AndrewKemendo]

I’ve tried to kill myself a lot of times but people seem to want me to stay around so unfortunately I am stuck here with everybody else.

"You participate in society, how curious"

If they're choosing not to have kids then they are doing their part towards their beliefs.

[automatic6131]

Nope, using the "I am very intelligent" comic doesn't work to defend those who want to eliminate society

[AndrewKemendo]

Oh see that’s where you’ve hallucinated (apparently not just computer hallucinate after all ;))

Who said anything about elimination?

All that has to happen is for people to stop reproducing

We’re already pretty well along that track (except Afghanistan and the DRC)

>All that has to happen is for people to stop reproducing

And if they don't?...

[AndrewKemendo]

More of the same then

There is a more direct action possible here.

The thing is, in advocating for removing 999 out of 1000 people (how? I don't hear a suggestion for a gradual decline, so assuming a bloody genocide seems like a reasonable interpretation), opens a body up to pretty harsh criticism. It's reasonable to read that line of reasoning as a direct threat!

[AtlasBarfed]

That is a strange ideal, and I am an environmental nutso myself.

[AndrewKemendo]

You have a better long term plan for humanity?

Whats the next 20000 years look like in your mind?

Hey, I saw that movie! The little robots were cute.

[AndrewKemendo]

Which?! I’d love to see a version of my short story of someone already did it

I think that the parent means Wall-E: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WALL-E#Plot
