Phen , in Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk say human population not nearly big enough: ‘If we had a trillion humans, we would have at any given time a thousand Mozarts’

And approximately a trillion people to whom even a chocolate bar would be pretty much an once-in-a-lifetime luxury

Maybe, but they’d all be working shit jobs for shit money so someone like Bezos or Musk could make a little more money.

No, no, only like half would. You need the other half to buy their products.

I’m preeetty sure that’s not how that works but then again Elmo does not behave like someone I would consider being knowledgeable in anything, so no surprise there.

Do you know what would happen in a world where there are 1000 Mozart’s? Nobody would give a shit about Mozart anymore. That’s it. Most of them would probably starve to death anyway if the world now has to support one trillion people

themeatbridge ,

Would we even know if that were the current situation? How many extremely talented composers are making music right now?

lurch ,

At least 2

fsxylo ,

But now bezos can exploit Mozart, because “there’s a thousand Mozart’s ready to take your place”.

Truly how can you not see the benefits.

SonicBlue03 , in Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk say human population not nearly big enough: ‘If we had a trillion humans, we would have at any given time a thousand Mozarts’

I think we’re good on Mozarts.

MonsiuerPatEBrown , in Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk say human population not nearly big enough: ‘If we had a trillion humans, we would have at any given time a thousand Mozarts’

why do we need a thousand mozarts ?

why would we look to those that can never get enough to understand what it means to be satisfied ?

The more highly intelligent people you have, the faster the rate of breakthroughs, provided they have access to tools and education.

prove it

or rather prove to me that you are not laying the tracks to supporting eugenics

prove that it won’t make a thousand Hitlers

Delphia ,

You arent wrong, but neither is the other guy.

Their premise isnt wrong, with a Trillion people the statistical likelihood of more geniuses to solve our problems is almost certain. So yes there’s one in the “pro” column.

The “cons” column however is thousands of lines long and would pretty much guarantee humanities extinction.

I would like to point out that the Renaissance started and saw a huge generational explosion of “mozarts” within a single city of Venice with roughly the population of most small podunk towns. Saying that more people are needed is disengenuous, you need the right environment raising people to the level of geniuses.

Delphia ,

Its not needed, but its also almost a mathematical certainty. If we had 692 Billion more people, we would almost definitely at least have a few more people of natural genetic inclination towards being geniuses.

We wouldnt be able to feed everyone or breathe but thats my point, they arent wrong but they are idiots.

52fighters ,

You just have to track global progress as a function of global population.

kratoz29 , in What the actual fuck

Don’t worry, in a not far away future we all will be able to pay to get rid of those annoying and disturbing ads in all our social media services!

Obligatory /s

Finally, a bad take everyone can agree on.

Surely this has to be satire… 😔

That has to be a record in inappropriateness.

It’s like saying that concentration camps are great for losing weight and reducing urban over population in the ghetto.

davepleasebehave ,

the smell of ash and charred flesh in the air is terrible. on the other hand you can use it to form a healthy disgust of food. loose weight and look great on the beach. the sea water will wash your sins away. the sand will exfoliate your guilt.

Holy hyper-normalization :O

ETA: One could figure out the state of our media and our (online) existence by just thinking a bit about those beautiful hashtags.

Something tells me this was AI being told to write a tweet about weight loss based on what current events are being discussed online

Yes, if you read the article it seems very AI-generated indeed.
