if we go from 7 billion to 200 million it's because we buttfucked ourselves or something else buttfucked us and that opening once again allows the wolf to expand greatly with territory and numbers and the population is too disconnected from primal instincts to be able to recover in time before extinction. A killing machine that also kills for fun just waiting for people to fuck up.

30.06 will take care of the wolves.
Cockroaches, now that's a bit harder.

sounds like something some redneck wolf food would say

Well, I won't say anything more. Don't wanna mess with your dreams.

Do you understand what kind of event would have to occur for the population to go from 7 billion to 1-2 million people?

Do you understand what kind of condition that would leave those that survived in?

my mother land china just release next fiscal year plans for investment and grow. its gonna be a 65 trillion rmb(9 trillion dollars) investment target for 2017-2018, the plan was mainly driven the government/private sector/foreign investment. but mainly government because u know its china, over the past decade it has been steadily increase from 13 trillions a year in 2007 to now 65. basically u r looking at 5 trillion per year increase. at this point its now 80% of the gdp of the country being driven mainly by government spending/investment program, at this rate it wouldn't be long before 100% will be driven by government. this kind of debt driven economy model is now every where in the world, grow is a must and in order to grow u have to take on new debt. but the power/efficiency of each bucks u spend r gonna decrease in effect each time u use such mechanism, but theres no real alternative. as its now tie to stability for china. 7 million college/university grads come out to looking for job every year. if theres no grow then they all become huge stability issue to society, else where in the world also face similar issue.

but i said 100-200 million, who would be able to easily cooperate against a threat as trivial as wolves. Hell, when homo sapiens were barely a thing they got by with just a few tens of thousands against the entirety of nature, with even less knowledge of how the world around them works and less communicable ideas. Even 1-2 million would be fine. I'm not seeing Wolves as being a proper menace here.

As the scale people exist at go down, so to does the threat they face from things like natural enemies. It's why when 100 people get caught in a hurricane, you're probably going to see a lot less people die than if it were 10,000. We could only make an exception here if Wolves were intelligent and carried malice towards us specifically, in which case we'd have a war scenario.

Well hey, if the chinese people ever get to the point where they're as productive as americans, china's gdp will be like seventy trillion fucking dollars. so make of that what you will.

dont think productivity is the problem, my fellow country man is most hard working in the planet eventually they'll be one of the most productive ppl on the planet. in order for china gdp to get to 70 trillion dollars a year, with the current model we have to take 100% of the gdp debt. just imagine the amount of money u have print, the biggest bill in china was 100. just imagine the size of 70 trillion dollar or 500 trillions rmb with of cash has to be printed. I think thats enough to cover a province in china.
