With all the talk of war and peace, and the upcoming presidential elections, it's pretty astounding that, still, NO ONE addresses the number one cause of essentially all problems that humankind faces today.

So let's address the invisible elephant in the room: overpopulation.

Overpopulation is the number one cause of disease epidemics, food shortages, poverty, low standard of living, violent crime, warfare, psychological disorders, environment destruction, the forced extinction of tens of thousands of other species, etc.

It is only by the willingly self-deceptive and criminally ignorant actions of the mass of mankind that we exist in a state where overpopulation is even -debated-, rather than accepted as what it is: a self-evident fact, provable with some very simple mathematical equations.

There is roughly a 6.5 billion surplus population on the planet today. The state of the average human being is one of squalor; emotionally, physically, intellectually, etc.

Rather than being so ludicrously authoritarian about things like marijuana, why doesn't -anyone- in a position of authority address the real cause of most of the ails of mankind? We spend tens of millions of dollars in our public schools every year, spreading anti-drug propaganda and perpetuating this nonsensical belief that democracy is somehow this chalice of purity and sublime goodness (when it's not)- but who teaches us about overpopulation? Where is it taught that we all exist together in an objective reality, based on logic and truth?

If people want an end to warfare, then someone has got to address the things that matter. We need the schools to teach us about overpopulation, emotional abuse, and objective reality. Concepts as asinine as existentialism are included, and treated as real philosophical quandaries, when it's simply an obvious fact that there is no way this Universe is the imagination of any one human being, provable purely on the ground that our brains lack the computing power to even begin to account for the billions of processes going on in this Universe at any given point in time.

Meanwhile, even the existence of objective reality is subject to debate? It's remarkable how incredibly stupid the average person really is.

If people want to establish peace, rather than watch world events escalate into WWIII, then it is time for revolutionary change. It is time for democracy to be thrown out and for a despotism of the wise to take control of the masses - otherwise there will be no escape from
