Within your single (run on) sentence 'not the problem' appears once along with a threefold repetition of 'not the problem'. Denial of a premise
without contradictory logical substance weighs as much as skim milk or juvenile emotional froth. Ponder the three ignorance categories again.
Edit: Please see your initial post (post number nine, page two).
Originally posted by caissad4Clean water will be a massive problem, it already is . But there would be enough of it when there were less people. Overpopulation is the biggest issue by far. We all need water, food, housing. We all need to cook, we all need space etc. This can not be solved unless we chop eachothers head off by billions at some point, or some nasty bug will. If we don't want it to get messy, we have to act fast and serious
Wise and true.
The greatest problem facing humans is a lack of clean water.
Of course there has been a solution for over 5 years.
A well system was developed by a South African back in 2003.
For approx 4 dollars US per person this can be accomplished.
Or, to look at it in another way, for the cost of 1 month of the Iraq war over 3 billion people could be helped.
Interesting choice.

Ignorance is not the biggest problem in the world. Many people that seem to be causing problems are less ignorant than the typical baboon, yet, baboons do not have problems anything close to the level of complexity or severity that people do, and what few problems they do have are generally not of their own making.
Every horrible condition that one person ever willfully inflicted on another was caused by one of three things. Greed, hatred, or fear, and those are but symptoms of the one thing that actually is the biggest problem. An individual's or group's distorted view of their own importance in the grand scheme of things, or, in other words, self-awareness. I care waaay too much about waaaay too much. 'I' is always at the root of everything wrong in the world. I want, I need, I deserve, etc.. Too much I, not enough We. That's the biggest problem. All of this is merely my opinion, but that is what my opinion is. 🙂

Every horrible condition that one person s the biggest problem. All of this is merely my opinion, but that is what my opinion is. 🙂
Though I disagree with the self-awareness part. Being self-aware doesn't
necessarily mean being ego-centric. In my opinion, of course.
