“Agnosticism is of the essence of science, whether ancient or modern. It simply means that a man shall not say he knows or believes that which he has ...

It is the same with theists. They believe that the claim "their is a god" is true.

Why in the would you bother your brain with all of these beliefs?

Why would you need to believe in any of these things? Their existence is demonstrable.

Your wording is wrong. Believing that no god or gods exist is not "believing in something that you don't think is true." It is believing in the truth ...

Reason is a descriptor of how we think about or approach a problem: deductively, inductively, abductively, backward inductive, critically, counter fac...

There is "what is true": uranium 235 has an atomic weight of 235.044 g/mol, and then there is "what is true to you": god does/doesn't exist. The only ...

^^^ Edited. Done. Sorry.

Yes, truth is irrelevant to the criteria of belief. One can believe something that is objectively false if they are absent the requisite facts needed ...

Yah, that is not what an agnostic is. Literally: No gnosis/No "knowledge of spiritual mysteries". This includes both the claims to knowledge for or ag...

This is a misconception. It is not to think something is TRUE or NOT. It is only to make the claim that something IS. It is like the misconception aro...

Did you read my initial proposal?

These are all things that would need to be worked out by law scholars and philosophers of that time.

Ok, that is fine I'll just stick with the statistics.

It is what it is, and will be what it will be whether or not I am right.

How exactly do statistics not follow.

This is wrong. I am trying to be objective. My own desires are irrelevant .

And yet the statisticians are still calculating a possible 15 billion in 2100. https://nationalpost.com/news/could-earths-population-hit-15-billion

As I said, go ask how well education is working in those countries. This is a physical problem not theoretical.

"Forcing people to stop forcing others, is totalitarian." I am going to go ahead and assume you mean "forcing others to do what you want is totalitari...

Yah I don, see it happening man. you go ask the people in India, Africa, and china how well education solves the birthrate problem.

As I said before "People will do what they are genetically programmed to do If left to their own devices." The statisticians seem to agree with me, as...

That is not how it is going to play out man. People will do what they are genetically programmed to do If left to their own devices. And no amount of ...

talk to me again when you and everyone you know are starving to death.

What I assume is that there will always be those who have more than others, regardless of whatever system is in place. I don't see the downfall of cap...

What are the alternatives?

And now you are a mind reader.

As I have already said, it has nothing to do with what "I" want to be done, only what is likely to be done and acceptable.

No I do not find it to be acceptable, but I am also not faced with mass food shortages and starvation. It is not about me, it is about what is possibl...

not if you remove the option.

You would be surprised at what solutions people will accept when the problem gets bad enough.

So your idea is moral hand waving? And when this doesn't work (because it wont) what then?

There is one thing that I am pretty sure of, whatever rout is chosen (either male of female) if the process is not completed/finished in a hospital at...

Should have responded to this part. You extract all eggs at birth then reintroduce them as needed.

The eggs can be reintroduced for maturation. You are incorrect here, I have no attachment to my own sex in this matter, if I thought that the most via...

^^^ I am sure that it is more complicated than that however.

Survival of the fittest has always been the way. I don't see any reason to change that. Those who can afford to feed their children will be granted li...

And if you don't have the option to feed them what then. If there is the option to feed them, this conversation is moot anyway.

You seem to be very emotionally attached to this question. My comments are not prescriptive. It is a thought experiment. Females are born with all of ...

Not concerned with the morality of the question only the feasibility. But I do have a question for you: is it more moral to let people starve to death...

Well, I guess we'll just have to see how things shake out then. I'll bet on my approach you can bet on yours.

Lol, yah that is not a Recipe for civil revolt.
