Population boom leads World to Doomsday!

The current world population is estimated to be around 6,843,648,133. The projections made by experts indicate it will be nine billion by 2050. According to pessimists the end will be within the next two to three years. Optimists however continue to strengthen their argument with many evidences via popular media. Even with biased global media that literarily blind us to the realities, we can access to sufficient information that would enable us to comprehend the jig-saw.

Population has doubled since 1966, but the resources to support it have decreased. Even available resources are shared by a very few. The gap between rich and poor is ever widening, Fifteen million children die every year and by the time you complete reading this article over 100 children would die of hunger. HIV is killing a child every minute and taking toll of many populations while corporations continue to keep monopoly of drugs. Multi drug resistant strains of Tuberculosis and many other mutant forms of bacteria are rising. Some argue that most mutant varieties are man made rather than natural along with patent antidotes.

One man’s illness has become another’s money. Hunger and deprivation of people is a means of money making for some. Most multilateral donor agencies as well as the UN invest substantial proportions on administration and human resources depriving the poor of becoming rich. Although the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) seems to contain benevolence to a certain extent, there are even alleged conspiracies behind the Asian tsunami disaster and the Sichuan earthquakes. While some are considered accidents some are regarded as deliberate attempts.

One such accident is the current deep oil drilling and subsequent spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Apart from a lengthy list of oil disasters, the global crude oil production is estimated to be in the region of 73 million barrels per day (over four trillion litres a year) which is itself a disaster.

One might wonder how and why the global media continues as an ally to support the idea of eternal delight and mass consumption. Mass consumption even exploits Mars to be consumed by the human beings. Investments are merely done by the corporations but we all have contributed to their lavish consumption and accumulation of wealth at least with our electricity and water bills to governments that are compelled to pay as international loan repayments to the corporations. This is the reason why the Trans National Corporations have grown by over 300% within 20 years.
Scientifically realistic Doomsday is at our doorstep. Avoiding catastrophic decline of the human population is the need of the day to sustain a balance of all life on Earth considering the fact that the humans have become extremely parasitic and self-destructive. Infertility and sterility have increased alarmingly and they could become the most serious diseases after cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Agents such as dioxins and furans released in large quantities with emissions could also play a role apart from their ability to cause cancer. Global geriatric population, currently above 500 million is estimated to double in 30 years.

Therefore, most of the natural disasters that we see and don’t see today have some manmade cause. This could be yet another episode of recurring world history compelling us to ultimately accept the universal laws. According to the Mayan calendar the world clock will stop on December 21. Even if the Mayan clock stops the Universe will go on. Superimposition of the Mayan calendar with the Biblical version too offers some sense where the great flood is said to have been taken place approximately 5000 years ago, similar to the prediction of the Mayan calendar which states a period of destruction after the completion of 1/5 of a galaxial day in 5125.

Considering that the era in which Rama- Ravana conflict took place referring to Ramayan, some believe that Hanuman could have possibly been the last traces of Neanderthals or at least a symbol of Neanderthal’s capacity. Maybe Neanderthal was just one species that could not endure of the stress of Homo sapien’s. One way or the other the dinosaurs in one era and mammoths in another and so on became extinct. Therefore, there is no way on earth that the humans are going to roam forever. It might give rise to a better adapted species.

Another aspect to look at mass annihilation is to see what will happen to the remaining 6.3 billion. Only a few might actually qualify to become humans. While some will remain on earth as humans, some will go to heaven and some to hell without transit. If they were “house full” we might have to return to the poor old earth and become cockroaches, earthworms, crows or cows. So, we have only a limited time left, as New Year sales advertise “only till stocks last”. Getting into our next destination will probably depend on the sins and virtues we have already committed.
The Buddha’s saying “sabbe sankara anichcha” (fluidity of all things) – the factual reality – makes it easily digestible.

In the book “Dune” they have a box that determines if someone is human or animal. The determining factor is the mind’s ability to over-ride the animal instinct to avoid pain. You put your hand in the box, not knowing how it works. It induces pain by nerve stimulation. The pain increases until an ‘animal’ removes his hand to avoid the pain, knowing that he/she would still face death by poison. A human leaves it there, knowing that the pain is less important then the death by poison that is the alternative.

This test is obvious today. Most of humanity are ‘animals’, not able or willing to ‘over-ride’ their greed, or perceived need, for the betterment of all. We have made the choice to submit to the slow death by poison rather than the pain of change.

I doubt Mother Nature is going to allow us to increase to anywhere near 9 billion. She can take out a few billion of us in a matter of days, if she so wishes.

No? Think a super “Black Plague” getting loose in the busy airports of our day. A million plus carriers a day spreading the disease to every major city of the world before the first symptoms are noticed. Perhaps only the lost tribes still scattered around the world would be the only ones to survive.

Complete and utter nonsense! Typical output of religious concepts superimposed over poorly understood science. The bastard offspring of Rama and the Maya intercourse on the way to… whatever!

If you can not provide for yourself you can not provide for a child. The poorest people in the world seem to be having the most children trapping them in a cycle of poverty, hunger and despair.

Access to family planning services needs to be available to all that want it.

Almost all famine across the world has political causes. Starve out the tribal and political enemies and all that.

But I forgot we are all dead from that Mayan thing anyway. What the hell? Maybe this is purgatory?
