  Growing the population is just kicking the can down the road because you can’t grow it forever anyway… We already have a over strained biosphere; pollution, resource depletion, climate change, accelerated species extinction etc

  This entire thing is a nothing burger.

  you’re right

  I completely agree. This is all about people not enjoying life because they work too much. Regulate the problem as an externality and this problem would go away. But government leaders in Japan would never have the guts to radically regulate the problem, such as requiring double the pay for overtime after 28 hours of work in a week.

  If Japan capped working at 28 hours a week and anything after that required double the pay (for overtime), this problem would taken care of.

  Working all the time makes people miserable. It’s an externality that impacts society in all sorts of horrible ways. It would be proper for the government to institute a rule like this.

  It would definitely lower GDP of Japan and cause some economic issues, but the alternative (living in a world where people are so miserable that they don’t fall in love as much as want to reproduce) is worse for their economy.

  Will they do this? No, because it would require thinking outside of the box too much and would be seen as too extreme.

  It’s true and terrifying.

  We have a Nazi on his way to controlling a robot army.

  Liberals make the mistake, both with Musk and Trump, of dismissing them as ignorant bumbling men when they are both extremely intelligent and do not act in an arbitrary manner. This is not Musk being weird after too much ketamine. This is an extraordinary engineer showing his allegiance to Hitler. It’s apparently too shocking for most people to accept.

  Musk is clearly a Nazi.

  First, there’s the Nazi salute. There’s no reason to do that unless you are a Nazi.

  Second, Nazis called Hitler my Furer, and he’s rewriting it this way specifically for this reason. It is an honorific title and he’s showing honor to Hitler.

  Third, Musk defects from accusations he’s a Nazi (“that’s a crazy thing to say”) but he never responds by saying “What Hitler did was horrible and I’m not a Nazi and detest their ideology” which is what someone would say if not a Nazi.

  The scary thing about this is Musk will soon control a large robot army. At that point, he could appoint white supremacists to lead the robot army and pick up where Hitler left off. This is a real threat for Jewish people as well as other minorities.
