So there.
Is that irritating to you ?
I've gotten everything figured out peeps, if you are not agreeing with me something is obviously wrong with you.
The truth shines and i hold it before my eyes.

Thre was a time that i cared so much about all that...
Now whatever is whatever...
there is something that irritates me actually. it is double standards. called hypocrisy by some, but in this cases, more double standards or 'selective application' of information.
entity exhibits approach/behavior/mindset A for 9 separate subjects. and when an uncomfortable subject comes up that touches entity's biases, entity suddenly reverses the behavior/mindset/approach A to approach B, and defends that doing as such is still valid. then the subject passes and another subject comes, and entity again reverts to set A.
leaving all the stuff regarding how these make beneficial exchange of information and thoughts inefficient, it is also something that would prevent entity from moving forward with whatever real approach s/he is maintaining.

I mean.. the only word that really comes to mind is disabling.I don't agree with your whole premise, so it's kind of like you asking me when did you stop beating your wife? The 3D population stops being born. Quite a simple solution to your dilemma, but one which you conveniently continue to ignore.
and how does that happen.
3d population just 'stops being born' ?
in 100 years (im giving a very comfortable time) people become unable to bear children, and this will not reflect in overall consciousness of the population ? 'mankind is ending' !! what would the ramifications of this would be ?
3d population stops being born ?
we are already able to clone people i very much suspect. the only reason it is not being done out in the open is the public animosity against this. very probably in some secret lab under public or private ownership, these experiments are being conducted. even if they are not, when a situation like you describe happens, they will suddenly become valid and necessary and noone will be able to justify otherwise. and they will probably succeed in short while, given the technical amenities which were given to this planet up to this point. (and still increasing).
and how will you prevent birthing of 3d population then ? totally leaving out the fact that even if it 'naturally' stops over a period of 100 years, still hundreds of millions would be born.
