Do We Value Human life Anymore - Or Are we Future Fertilizer

from Ramblings of an Old fart. -

"For 60,000 years, from the caves of Shanidar to the mounds of the Ohio Valley, humans agreed on one thing: the body is sacred. We built 'Houses of Eternity' and held festivals to feed the memory of our fathers. But in the last decade, we’ve entered 'The Great Forgetting.' We’ve been told that a flower on a grave is 'waste' and that a grandmother in a bed is a 'statistic.' We are the first generation in human history to look at our ancestors and see a 'carbon problem' instead of a foundation.”How we moved from "Sacred" to "Resource."The Narrative Shift: We’ve spent 60,000 years remembering, but in the last 15 years, we’ve been "coached" to forget.The Malthusian Shadow:Paul Ehrlich (The Population Bomb): "The population explosion is an uncontrolled multiplication of people... we must cut out the cancer."Ted Turner: Suggests a 95% reduction in population (down to 250–300 million) is "ideal" for a healthy planet.Klaus Schwab (WEF): The focus on the "Fourth Industrial Revolution" often frames humans as biological data points that must be "integrated" into a more "efficient" digital and economic system.The Logic: This "Reset" narrative often suggests that in a high-tech future, many people (the "Peons") may become "economically irrelevant." If AI and robots do the work, the "Upper Crust" no longer needs a large labor class, making the "overpopulation" of poor people a "security risk" rather than an asset. system.
