Encountered while googling. Accidentally. I swear.

The website that comes from is a mostly anime/furry art gallery. And by "art" I mean porn, so you may not want to investigate (or do you?). However, the pictures that have animations showing how they were drawn are really fascinating to watch.

On an unrelated note, I thought you might have some interest in this:

In short, a scientific study shows that having children literally makes people quantifiably dumber. Of course, it's likely that this is a case of mistaking the effect for the cause, and that people who become dumber thereafter decide to have kids. What we must do is find out what causes this unfortunate drop in IQ, and figure out a way to prevent it.

WARNING: I suggest getting a spatula to remove your brain from the walls before clicking, as the article contains a baby picture. >_

And a baby slathered in its own filth and incompetence, no less!

Hahaha. Thank you, that is most amusing and informative. I look forward to the day when children are required to feature warnings from the surgeon general regarding their side effects and the government finally cracks down on the Big Nursery Industry. It is, after all, an addiction.

Dr. Hosung Lee sounds like a fun guy, though you're right; his conclusion is flawed. Perhaps IQ is inversely proportional to time spent in marriage.

Oh, dear God! You have just made me feel very, very queasy.

It's times like these I get worried about things like this (The Onion was, as usual, truer than "real" news, even so far back):

VOLUME 31 ISSUE 18 - 13 MAY 1997
Study: Uneducated Outbreeding Intelligentsia 2-To-1
CHICAGO-In a report with dire implications for the intellectual future of America, a University of Chicago study revealed Monday that the nation's uneducated are breeding twice as soon and twice as often as those with university diplomas. "The average member of the American underclass spawns at age 15, compared to age 30 for the average college-educated professional," study leader Kenneth Stalls said. "America's intellectual elite, as a result, is badly losing the genetic marathon, with two generations of dullards born for every one generation of cultured literates." Added Stalls: "At this rate, by the year 2100 there will be five smart people on Earth, swallowed whole by more than 12 billion mouth-breathers incapable of understanding the binary exponentiation that

Although your most excellent idea has not already been implemented quite yet, they're working on it:

Also, the Masai bushmen have stopped reproducing entirely and encourage the rest of us to do the same. Their motto is, "We've given it our best shot. Now, it's time to let go, move on, and hand it over." Presumably to the rats, ants or cockroaches or something. They also never kill any living thing, but carefully wound and drink the blood of their livestock. O_O Coolness.

Ah, VHEMT. I'm familiar with them, and believe it or not, I'm actually not amazingly fond of them. Their assessment of eugenics and death is unfair, and for people banking on such an impossible proposition they have remarkably little faith in other possibilities. Politely asking 100% of 6.5 billion people to please stop breeding just isn't going to work out; it relies on a quality of rationality in humans that they have already admitted to giving up on.

No, if I were going to eliminate humanity (and were filthy rich) I'd take one or both of two routes:
1) A retrovirus that does nothing but sterilize its host, with no noticeable symptoms and carried by (but not effective on) animals. Even if there were 610,00 scattered breeders left and it "only" took 50,000 years for them to recover, c'mon, that's pretty damn good.
2) Giant mechanical ants.

I think either of those has better odds of happening. But hey, they at least get credit for reducing reproduction.

And yes, vampiric bushmen are cool.

In a world full of Catholics who hate the Vatican, vegetarians who hate PETA and gays who hate pride parades, that's understandable.
I suspected their "feel-good" approach wouldn't suit your tastes, and you've pointed out other valid flaws in their methodology, as well - I just thought this was 1) the kind of thing you simply had to hear about if you hadn't already and 2) the kind of thing I wanted your opinion on if you had heard of it.

For some reason, I can't help but think of a combination of both your ideas: a nanotech plague of minuscule insectile vasectomy surgeons...
No thought of where I could have gotten the idea, really. >_>
