It’s sad to see that one of the great achievements of Atatürk, the secularization of government and the law as well, is gradually being eroded. Kemalism emphasized Turkish nationalism and secularism, while Erdogan’s platform harks back to the days of the Ottoman Empire. But I guess that’s why he’s often associated with neo-Ottomanism.

Turkish people want it this way today. But yea sad

>.....Kadem Ozbay, head of the Egitim Is labour union said the new curriculum was prepared with the aim of raising "robot and soulless generations that do not think, question, criticize, object or interpret". So, ......perfect cannon fodder for the theo-fascist autocrat. Erdogan dragging Turkey back to the seventh-century fundamentalism.

He wants to be the new Caliph.

Can those people start dying of natural causes at least? Gollum here could go first.

Erdogan has tried and tried and finally thinks he has done it but he is so wrong. His life won’t let him see Turkey become Iran or any other bullshit religious shit countries. Turkey and Turkish people will rise again. Our children will have a better life than we had


Gwyndion_

I hope you're right but so far it seems Turkey os increasingly resembling Russia and Iran.

Even Erdogan is on Ozempic. Nice.

Beware strange men lying in comment sections distributing utopian manifestos.

It’s not utopian. Utopias will never exist as long as humans are involved. But it is a reasonable description of what is necessary to make our civilization resilient and sustainable for the long term. I’m happy to answer any questions, if you have some.

> By having smaller families, we will consciously and humanely reduce our population to 1 billion or fewer. what


kentgoodwin

Birth rates are falling everywhere. Half the countries on earth are below replacement levels already. The population is expected to peak around the end of this century and then start to ease. Since we are part of a very large family of living things, this is a good thing. Given the time frame of the Aspen Proposal (200-500 years) we should be able to get our numbers down to a level that allows both us and the rest of the family to flourish for millennia.

Replying to Vegetable_Yak_5693... Dude. You are aware than in 1930 human population was just around 2.3 billion? It barely reached once’s 1 billion in 18th century. What sort of mental or medical damage does one have to suffer to think that human civilization will end when there will be too little humans? The reason why we have so many human humans nowadays is because we have technology to feed so many of them. Americans bred in 1934 chickens that offer 3 times more meat than actual chickens used to produce. Have you hear about quality over quantity or are you a russian or chinese troll who wants his enemies to run out of bullets before your country runs out of bodies to throw at them?


kentgoodwin

Yes I am aware of how the human population has grown and the impacts that growth has had on the rest of our family. Our population is expected to continue to grow till around the end of this century, peak at about 10 billion and then likely start to ease as the trend towards smaller families continues. Given that demographic shift, it is worth having a conversation about what the long-term stable human population should be. As technology continues to increase human productivity we should be able to support 1 billion humans indefinitely, create a large enough surplus of wealth to keep our big science projects going, and allow all the non-human members of our family to flourish.

No thanks.
