I’m sorry this post is late. I know it’s supposed to be written by 12:00PM, but my Monday’s are hectic. I have classes back to back from 10 – 2 and then work till 6, so I remembered about the blog at 7ish when I got home. It’s probably not an excuse, but I thought i should just explain what happened.
So after I got home from work, my friend Johnson, messages me about an idea or theory he has. He was thinking that perhaps aliens came to Earth millions and millions of years ago and altered the DNA of animals in order to make us. He told me that it’s too unreasonable for the pyramids to be built such a long time ago without proper technology and other technological advances that cannot be explained. He also said, “For us to exist purely by nature is just such a low chance.” and I asked him what about evolution? and he said that why is it that only humans surpass all other creatures exponentially. I thought it was plausible because I’m one of those people who doesn’t think we’re the only ones in this universe. And he makes a good point as to why only our species is the only one to have evolved so intelligently.
After we finished our conversation, I asked, “Wtf. Why ask such a theoretical question?” cause we’re not usually the type of people to ask questions which require such thought. He said “I came across this video.” and I said, “Smh.”
I had economics today and one main aspect of economics is scarcity. So after our conversation of aliens, I asked him a question. “Ya know, we have like 7billion people in the world right now, and we have a limited amount of resources, so its only an amount of time before people decide others will have to pretty much die. By people, I mean the rich, and by others, I mean the useless.” But he gave me reasons as to why overpopulation is just a myth and all of it is summed up in a video he linked me

So the earth may not be overpopulated now, but what happens when it is?
Any thoughts about the aliens or the overpopulation?
I have to say, it was a weird hour of intelligent conversation.
