A quick overview of my opinions...

Yesterday, I started a conversation on Facebook that I didn't follow as well as I should have. I went skiing instead and had a hell of a good time.

This said, one of the person who got hooked on my challenge deserve to know what I think and I'll try to give him a general overview of my world's view (whatever this means) in just 20 points:

  1. I think man has profoundly screwed up the world we live in. 
  2. We are just too many on this planet that could hold – at best – 2 billion people, not 7.3 as is the case today. We should depopulate before we are screwed! 
  3. Pollution, climate change are all caused by overpopulation. 
  4. Overpopulation is the root cause of our planetary degradation. 
  5. This planet is for every human. 
  6. There should be no borders, no countries (John Lennon). 
  7. There should be one single world administration kept in check by its population, not 200 inefficient governments. 
  8. This said, migration should be regulated and conducted in ways that are based on assimilation (i.e. if Islam is important to a person, that person should seek living in Muslim countries, if a person is socialist... if a person is capitalist... etc. 
  9. This would be a nice way to start. Migration should also be regulated in terms of needs. Computer programmers, road pavers, oil drillers, etc. 
  10. War, arms, nuclear or chemical arsenal of all kinds should be abolished. 
  11. Extractive industries (fossil fuels, minerals) as well as agribusiness should be strictly regulated and taxed whenever needed. 
  12. We should take a new look at the administration and dispensation of heath care. Do we want to prolong life at any cost regardless of the economic burden it represents? 
  13. The capitalist system based on (population) growth should evolved into a qualitative form of growth (less stuff, but better). 
  14. Religion (any) is a dangerous, irrational practice that should be strictly kept private (no house of worship, no external distinctions, etc.) 
  15. Brainwashing children with religious (irrational) concept is tantamount to child abuse. 
  16. For thousands of years, religion has been poison. 
  17. Education for all is paramount, should be free and call on the brightest possible minds to lead the charge. Money should be totally out of politics. 
  18. Meritocracy is a good thing. Those who work and contribute the most should be rewarded reasonably, but not 1,000 fold. 
  19. Innovation and creativity should be encouraged, made easy and placed on a pedestal. 
  20. Glorify teachers, indispensable lowly people, not athletes and show business stars.
