Most Important Question in All Fields of Knowledge...for me.?

Question

Who are you -- to answer anything I might ask?
Yes, you, who are you?
[[[[[As of me, who am I to ask you who you are, and if you know who you are, what serves as the foundation of your identity cognition, is it pure logic inference? Is it concrete, almost mathematical derivatives?
And, if you have any concrete answers, tell me why you do not ask yourself why mankind does not reduce its population to 20% of its actual number, even if it means that YOU would be one of those of the billions comitted to be disposed of.
And, blah, blah, blah...(ad infinitum)]]]]]

Answer 1

To your first question, I know intuitively that I Am. I exist. it comes from within and from a level beyond capability of challenge from reason or logic.

To your second, population will decline, maybe to 20% of its actual number, at any rate substantially, over the next thousand years. It is already declining in Italy and other European countries because more people are having one or no children than are having more than two. The % who have no children will, I forecast, become much smaller in 100 or so years' time as we become psychologically less screwed up, but the tendency to families smaller than enough to sustain our numbers will continue. And it will spread to the rest of the world as those countries become economically developed.

It is not that important. It is much more important to share our human resources more evenly. There is plenty of space on the planet for other species if we respect them and manage forests conscientiously.

Answer 2

That all sounds well and good but it just doesn't work that way. Hitler and other dictator's have tried that and we are still over populated. We will just have to let nature take it course. If I were smarter than God I could come up with an answer to your problem.

Answer 3

Are you a rapper or a scholar? I'm a poet who has over a hundred poems at my disposal but I don't do anything with them because I feel they're worthless and not recognizable as anything else. There. Is that what you wanted?
