"I think human consciousness is a tragic misstep in evolution. We became too self-aware. Nature created an aspect of nature separate from itself. We are creatures that should not exist by natural law. We are things that labor under the illusion of having a self. A secretion of sensory experience and feeling, programmed with total insurance that we are each somebody. When in fact, everybody's nobody. I think the honorable thing for our species to do is deny our programming, stop reproducing, walk hand in hand into extinction, one last midnight, brothers and sisters opting out of a raw deal."  - Quote from last night's premier episode of HBO's True Detective.  

This could get interesting.

Interesting argument, something similar on the BBC recently where they were discussing the worlds woes and one commentator kept repeating that everything they were discussing could be resolved by reducing our population, starvation, resources, housing, water etc, i tend to agree.
