This is an 8 part YouTube vid series. Please watch all 8 parts - I'm interested in a discussion on the video.

One point the vid makes is about overpopulation, and how that will be handled, either by conscious choice or nature.

Of the options listed, I wonder if it might not be prudent to allow murder. The "justice" system, in many people's opinions (including mine) leaves something to be desired (justice, in many cases).

True, some people's feelings of injustice might be exaggerated, leading to unjust killing - but if all murder were legal, such people themselves would soon be dead. Reasonable people would not jump to the murder solution quickly, knowing that they would in turn be looked at as possible targets. Some people would just go on killing sprees, figuring they wouldn't get caught (not that this doesn't happen already anyway) but with everyone armed at all times, their victims would have a better chance at survival than currently.

I also suspect that if murder were legalized, and everyone were armed at all times, this would suddenly become a MUCH more polite society.

What do you think about legalizing murder?

I'd like to amend my above proposal to instead make it legal for anyone over the age of 27 to murder. The human brain does not finish developing until the age of 25, but I'm arbitrarily adding 2 years to allow for slower developing brains. Murder should be strongly weighed with a clear and developed mind before completed, and underdeveloped brains may more quickly jump to the murder conclusion. Adults with less than rational minds could also jump to the murder conclusion too quickly, but such adults would soon be culled from the population. A youth with a developing mind would have more of a chance of erring due to underdevelopment rather than due to a permanent fault in development, and I want to give children a chance to develop before subjecting themselves to fatal retaliation. Children can not consider consequences as completely as an adult mind can.

I also wish to amend my request that you watch all of the videos before responding. I would like to hear response on this issue.
