Lifeboat ethics is a metaphor for resource distribution proposed by the ecologist Garrett Hardin in 1974. Hardin's metaphor describes a lifeboat bearing 50 people, with room for ten more. The lifeboat is in an ocean surrounded by a hundred swimmers.Lifeboat Ethics: the Case Against Helping the Poor by Garrett Hardin ...

Nov 24, 2015 - The spaceship metaphor can be dangerous when used by misguided idealists to justify suicidal policies for sharing our resources through uncontrolled immigration and foreign aid. In their enthusiastic but unrealistic generosity, they confuse the ethics of a spaceship with those of a lifeboat.

In this situation of 50 people in a lifeboat surrounded by 100 swimmers in
danger
of freezing to death in the water, the end result is usually going to be
one of two
things:
1. The 50 people hit the people in the water with their paddles
one by one until
they all drown.
or
2. the 100 people swamp the boat and 150 people
(everyone drowns).
This is why Fascism is becoming a problem
today and equal rights
(around the
world)
is becoming more and more a thing of the 20th century and
considered an
unrealistic
idealism.
How do you stop number 1 or number 2 from happening
to us ALL now on earth?
My idea would be to make it mandatory for people to have
no more than two
children
(In other words you can replace yourselves but no more than that.)
But, even this solution could create scenario
1 or scenario 2 anywhere on earth
if
a weather calamity or terrorist invasion or even a plague of locusts
hits an area
and everyone is starving.
So, therefore overpopulation of necessity (by many people's reckoning) creates
Fascism as a way to kill off the poorest so the richer ones can survive.
Nations did this historically around the world especially before the 20th
century by
the way.
It's not nice. It's not fair. But, in the end unless something is done
worldwide (the
lifeboat
sinks and everyone dies on earth eventually).
It would be much better if there were still only around 2 billion people like there
were
at the end of World War II. Precisely because there are now almost
8 billion people
Human rights are slowly going away and being replaced around the
world by
fascism and no human rights for the poor at all in many many
2nd and 3rd world
nations as a direct result.
As populations increase and resources diminish this will
only get much much worse.
However, Global warming will also thin out the poor worldwide too
from heat and winds and unpredictable weather for growing any
food at all.
If you just look at the carnage and damage in snow, wind, tornadoes,
car and truck accidents right now in the east of the U.S. from this
latest crazy storm imagine
these problems multiplied in 2nd and 3rd world nations around the world
right now from crazy weather happening there as well.
And this will just get progressively worse this century for the next 300
years even if no fires were burned in the next 300 years at all on earth
and no cars or trucks spewed fumes during that time.
