Now, how do we make the nerve cells synthesize the sensation of pain? That would be a great way of getting it to do what we want, just like nature does to us!

Can’t we all just agree 8 billion people is silly? Think about how much of it is just completely redundant. The main focus really should be massive population reduction.

Edit: Also, no, I don’t mean killing off anyone, just reducing birth rates will do fine. We know even just a simple high school education reduces birth rates.
