Well, you do. Lots of people do. I’ve never seen one become self aware though. But anyway, no, not all people are the same. Some populations of people create, initiate, prop up and then perpetuate evil cults of dogma as is the case with North Korea. Some populations never even let it get to step one. Make no mistake, the waves of political dogma lap on every shore. It’s always ready to take over. Some populations are less inclined to group think, save the children and etc. because that’s always what fuels it. I have read a couple of books about North Korea and you can believe me that North Korea was not held at gunpoint to create the regime. I also read “nothing to envy” which is a collection of memoirs written by defectors. They absolutely do it to themselves. And the multi-generational lifespan of that regime makes your point rather moot.

And Assad illustrates my point because I was watching the Syrian civil war and he very nearly did not survive. He was relegated to a bunker and when he emerged he was clearly deeply shaken and a different man. That 40 percent gave him his full moneys worth. To say that this is an example of dictators being invulnerable to dissent is incorrect. If it were 50 or 60 the scale would have tipped. It is an example of my point.

Let’s establish the fact. Nobody knows what the consequences will be. But overpopulation won’t be The outcome. Developed countries have a population die-off problem. In the US the birth rate has plummeted since the 70s and we are way below replacement. We desperately need more people.

Tens of thousands of people die in car accidents alone every year. The geriatric population is exploding and we can’t take care of all of them. We need a cure for the disease of aging.

This illustrates my point

Show me one truly powerful person who could have survived 30% of his subjects actively resisting.

That’s like saying that one person will dominate the tv show survivor. In reality new cliques and alliances form all the time, power shifts and swirls as alliances coalesce and disperse. We will still have wars and disasters and things that no one person can control. Plus, people will still die just not necessarily from the disease of aging. I often notice that people resist something they are afraid of by thinking it will cause a disaster to change how things are. I think you are subconsciously afraid that it’s too good to be true. In reality it will be like penicillin or vaccines — massive improvement and not much else.

Surprised to see this take from you. We could also have your parents, grandparents, siblings, kids, grandkids not get sick and suffer terribly before being discarded like garbage. And we can keep all the amazing people who fight for good. Oh wait, that would mean we can’t stick it to some bad people, never mind.

So the main problems listed are inflammation, lack of omega 3 and reduction in some kinds of autophagy. All of these can be addressed with an animal based diet or a keto diet plus intermittent fasting. The more I look into it the more I am convinced that a high fat animal based diet with fasting is the healthiest diet.

Spotify is the worst and buggiest software I use, both the app and the web app. How bad could it be? It resets to the beginning of a multi hour podcast randomly with no way to get back to where I was. It does many other unbelievable things. God damn the Spotify player.
