I don't agree that the world would be better off without 50% of it. If anything, it's underpopulated.

I would be interested in hearing your reasoning for this position.

As such I precommit to upvoting an explanatory post, no matter how much I disagree with its content.

And I commit to at least leaving it neutral even if I disagree with its content. And I will disagree. :)

I posted it into discussion, because it's a long explanation.

Probably unnecessarily long. Do tell.

And I will disagree. :)

I don't even claim to try to be rational (I'm not), so I'm not the one to judge, but at least try to keep an open mind?

Of course, I'd appreciate your feedback even if you do disagree.

True. Also, depends on how massive.
