Human Overpopulation According to Onu on 31st October 2013 the population touched the number of 7 billion. One billion in 1800, 7 billion at the end of 2013. The forecast for 2045 is 9 bilion. Will our planet be able to support such a mass of human beings? It may sound emphatic, but overpopulation is the challenge mankind will have to face in the near future.
Rebellious Angels: the fundamental unity of selection, and so of egoism, is neither the species nor the group and not even the individual, but the gene, the unity of heredity (Richard Dawkins-The Egoist gene) The Child as a Product. There is no better investment for any community than put some milk into children(Winston Churchill) The Intelligent Virus: H.I.V. Le mal de vivre: “Oh Critone, we owe Asclepious a cock; give him it, and try not to forget it” (Plato, Fedone LXVI)
Pedophilia, baby workers, sexual abuse of children, juvenile prostitution, traffic in organs are all phenomena due to overpopulation: how many more children in absolute or relative excess (in conformity with the possibility of bringing them up without selling or abusing them) are produced, all the more they are destined to become a product. As a product a child may be produced, sold, bought, entire or in pieces. Poverty causes overpopulation, overpopulation feeds poverty.
The Intelligent Virus The appearance of HIV and the diffusion of AIDS epidemic don’t depend on chance but are attempts by nature to put a check on the exponential growth of human population(overpopulation). We couldn’t explain, otherwise, the remarkable tactical and strategical abilities HIV proved in overcoming the endurance of his host, in defending himself against his antibodies and in the preservation and world spreading of a viral epidemic(AIDS) turned into pandemia.
The first one to consider life like a disease people can recover from by committing suicide, was Socrates: just before dying, as a suicide, the Greek philosopher begs his friend Critone not to forget to sacrifice a cock to Asclepio (Esculapio for the Romans) ,god of medicine. At present there are a lot of people who think in the same way and turning to suicide is so increasing as to assume the features of a real epidemic.
