I desperately fear such a society! As one who's been very financially comfortable by coasting through life (so far; 24 years) on great comprehensive skills while doing the bare minimum (never study, never did homework), it's intimidating to envision a leveled playing field.

4,347 word. I agree.

Dude has ego problems, but then again... who doesn't?

This is one of the reasons I answered skeptisism. Too many people just blindly believe what they're told by anyone talking which, in my opinion, is one of the biggest hinderances to advancement in all aspects of society.

How are we going to terraform Mars without more water? :p my bad, see what you're getting at

Water?

wtf, maybe someone pointed this out and I missed it but the summary doesn't seem very accurate. I didn't see anything in the article implying experts warn that the excessively sedentary are running serious health risks, irrespective of how much exercise they get when they're not plonked behind a desk or lying on a sofa", but rather simply that the more TV you watch the worse your heart is. It's ridiculous to imply that working out doesn't help. FTFA: "EVERY hour spent sitting idle in front of the television raises the risk of premature death from heart disease by 18%, an Australian study found." 1. My risk of heart disease is at least 2,721,600% what it was? (watching TV one hour a day for 24 years, does not include my desk job) 2. The less you excercise the less healthy you'll be!?!?!?!? FUCK!

Looks like someone's having their existential period

This is a troll? Seems more like a rational question/statement to me. Here's your troll: whoever modded this guy down is a fucking retarded backwoods pederast.

The National Aquarium in Baltimore recently taught me that octopuses are naturally curious and intelligent. They enjoy playing with complicated infant toys with moving parts. On a lighter note, my dad told me they have sharp teeth and poison saliva and will fly out of the tank to eat my nose and melt my face if I tap on the glass... but I didn't see any mechanisms for flight.

You suggest cutting the population AND preserving old people? I was hoping for a Logan's Run scenerio after that first sentence :(

May be teensy bit of a problem if he needs the reference

It's in TFA

So if PETA condones eating artificially grown animal tissue, would they condone eating artificially grown human meat?
