Timeless

Dawning
If you notice the time of the post, you'd realize that I've been writing this post as the sun was dawning upon our tiny island. If you must know how ridiculous this all must sound, you must also know that in another 3 hours I am going for a job interview. Madness? Insanity? Crazy? Those three representations of the very state of mind that I am in? Perhaps it's just because I can't sleep for fear that I'd oversleep if I did.

Major Psychology
With that out of the picture, let's concentrate on what I have to say today. Please fasten your seat belts while I fly you thru time, space and the whole continium thing. I've been having the weirdest urges lately. I reverted to a hermity existance for the past few weeks. I even stopped exercising for some reason unknown to me. The motivation is there, perhaps it's more of a mental block somewhere.

Science and Mystism
I think somewhere along the lines of history, these two terms have always come in conflict in humanity's struggle to change and yet maintain some sort of morality while changing. Perhaps if you don't understand it now, you'd understand it if I stretched time backwards around four hundred years ago. People who wanted to study the human anatomy had to resort to grave robbing. And that was extremely frowned upon in society back then.

Morality
So what happened to the person who was found grave robbing? They usually lynch the bugger before he has a chance to defend himself proper. But now? In modern day society how much has changed in terms of Morality? I believe that there are as many things sacred to us today as in the past. The only difference is the type of things that are considered sacred. Perhaps one example is Matrimony. It used to be that it was extremely sacred and it's union was binding to the point that only death may release one party from another. Now we can just sign some papers and it is dissolved. No doubt you have some repercussions, but it's nothing compared to the need for death.

Matrimony
I'm not aiming marriage on the whole, it's just merely an example of how Morality has changed from the past couple of centuries. Our so called modernization is merely changing what's important to us. Eventually, the human race will die out naturally as every human on the planet adopts a "self above others" mentality that seems to be rather prolific in the world nowadays. Let's have less or even better, not have children because we'd lower our standards of living to below what "I feel is acceptable to myself".

Selfness
Sure if only ONE person in about twenty couples think like that, there'd be no problems. But right now, in most developed countries. There's only one out of twenty couples who are thinking of having many children. It's a simple math calculation. Estimate around 30% of the population in developed country are capable of producing children at any one time, out of that 30%, 70% want to have just one or no kids. So in total the statistical spread would be 30% want to have more than one kid, 35% just one kid, 35% no kid.

Statistics
Let's be generous and say out of that 30%, the average kid count is one and a half kids. So let's say, this is the case for one generation of child bearing adults, say about 30 years. Let's say the population will shrink by about 30% in 30 years. Let's say it's the WHOLE WORLD's population and let's see what's the outcome of natural self repopulation works. Population is X.

Equation
Equation goes like this:
X - 30% = X/100 * 30
X - 30% + (30%/2 * 3)/2 = X/100 * 30 + 45%/2
X - 30% + 27.5% = X - 2.5%
X over 30 years = X - 2.5%

Result
So the verdict, thru simple math, once the world's demographic starts thinking like the scenario I mentioned above, 30% more than 1 kid, 35% just 1 kid, 35% no kids. Then the world's population will shrink by 2.5% every 30 years. Right now we're still maybe one generation from reaching that stage. The so called 3rd world countries are still having healthy concepts of having more than one child. But that's bound to change once they hit developed status. And that's when the end of the world will begin.

End of Humanity
As the end of humanity slow encroaches upon us, we will not see it happen during this lifetime. But rest assured that our success will be our very downfall. The world's population will be decreasing by the time it's year 2101. With constant fighting and dieases claiming us faster than we can recover from them we'd lose more than just 2.5% every 30 years, it'd be nearly 1% a year.

What the Future Holds
When it's roughly 2893 the human race should be less than 1 million. Unless something changes along the way, humans will be extinct roughly 3000. That's a short time considering the fact that we've been around for roughly 50000 years. So PLEASE help the humanity end itself by doing EXACTLY what your doing right now. I'm serious, END IT already for us. Think for yourself, STOP, don't think for humanity, it's too lofty a goal. One person couldn't possibly make a difference right? Heh... Alauz Out.

Idiots of today, Geniuses of tomorrow
