David Rockefeller on Population Control

In 1942 there was a short story written called “Runaround”. This was the first time the three laws of robotics were introduced to science fiction. If you saw the movie “iRobot” starring Will Smith, you may recall seeing these laws in which the movie was based on. The laws are as follows

1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey any orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

While it sounded like a full proof system, it wasn’t; at least not in the minds of the humans. In the movie “iRobot”, the robots start lashing out in violence against the humans. When the robots are questioned, and asked why they are killing and policing humans when the laws specifically state they can’t, the robots reply with this reasoning. They state that as they have evolved, so has their understanding of the 3 laws. They see war, expansion, depletion of natural resources, and humans not taking care of the planet as they should. Therefore, human beings must die and mandates must come into existence to protect humans from destroying themselves. When informed of this, a different kind of robot, Sonny, said that while he understood where they were coming from, it just seemed too heartless. I agree with Sonny.

There are currently 6 billion people on the planet. How many more people can Earth sustain? I personally feel this should be determined by God, without the influence of human beings. David Rockefeller does not agree with me. In this video he proposes how the UN and federal governments around the world need to unite in solving the “problem” of population growth. So which viewpoint do you side with?

P.S. I find it funny that he views the rising average lifespan concerning, when he himself is 94 years old!

God bless America
