@loveydoe The population, should it need reduction, should do so through natural selection (the mere inclusion of that phrase will draw anti-Darwinists in hordes, so prepare your fortifications) so as to further strengthen the race as opposed to slowing down the birth rate; the former method arguably strengthens the race while the latter method typically keeps it at relatively the same level. Your proposed argument of the importance of pleasure isn't incorrect, however I believe pleasure should be viewed as more of a reward than a necessity; as per being the most dominant race on our planet with advanced cognitive capabilities, we've advanced our society to the point of where we can allow ourselves some pleasure. While this is most certainly not a bad thing, we shouldn't let it distract us from advancing our race further.
