What is the most efficient method of population reduction?

Answer 1

The most effective is plague. In history, 2/3s of Europe's population was wiped out by a plague. It also does not discriminate. If you were to do it this way, at least those with better immunes systems would be left over, making everyone better off in the long run.

In early 1900's the Spanish flu killed a hell load of people.

HIV is another good example. It is currently turning a whole continent into an orphanage.

Next is famine and water shortage.

Colonization of the Americas is a good example. Small pox wiped out entire communities.

The last is oppressive goverment and war. See Stalin's Russia and Hitler's Germany for good example.

Colonization of one culture into another one is a another good example (Native Americans and the Australian blacks are a good example of this.)

Answer 2

There are many "efficient" methods of population reduction but very few ethical ones. Even birth control isn't considered ethical by some.
Sterilizing "scum" and killing "old" or "sick" people requires defining what constitutes scum, old, and sick.
Maybe you should use random selection like a lottery, or a bingo game.
This has all been tried before....you've heard of that Hitler guy haven't you?
Therefore the MOST efficient, ETHICAL method of population control is EDUCATION.
