Could Rory elaborate on how population affects freedoms, and whether persuasion can be used to curb population effectively enough to retain freedoms that would otherwise be lost as a result of induced population pressures?

Carl Sagan once said (in either Cosmos or Billions & Billions) that even if most of the world was population neutral, if even a small fraction of the world population was still growing boundlessly, then the results would be the same – that population would continue to grow boundlessly. Does Rory believe that a complex, multifaceted persuasion campaign can be effective enough to curb population entirely, or is it going to take a lot more collaborative work by world governments to make this a reality?

As what you’ve said, Filipino are well trained but low-cost employee. I am just curious about being a Filipino, In what level that Filipino should we judge morally? and why laughing at them if they accepted a job with unreasonable salary? Do you think they are stupid?

What’s the distinction between “persuasion” and manipulation?
Who gets to decide what kinds of manipulation are justified?

“the effect of offshoring to a low-wage economy is the same as a technological innovation. Indistinguishable”
who ever thinks that is batshit crazy. Technological innovation has larger potential implications. Statements like these only mean that whoever makes them have no interest in long term investment and long term development projects.

I don’t think anyone is laughing at Filipinos. It’s just an economic fact that wages are less there than in Europe/USA because of the currency exchange rate.

Thank you for the clarification, It’s just surprising that a well trained employee are contented to received with an unreasonable salary. I was just thinking that an expert employee should be well paid because of their expertise and not because they are just a Filipino or their currency exchange rate are not good enough. :)

and what “economic fact” has to do with “human factor”?
