Comments on: What If No One Died? http://13ball.com/what-if-no-one-died there's no such thing as luck Wed, 06 Jan 2010 23:18:13 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Nick http://13ball.com/what-if-no-one-died/comment-page-1#comment-8291 Nick Fri, 04 Dec 2009 14:24:24 +0000 http://13ball.com/?p=292#comment-8291 Has anyone calculated what the outcome would be if every organism that was ever generated or born, not just man, never died? How many animate beings would populate or overpopulate the planet? Given that Darwin has made it clear that organisms both compete and cooperate for limited resources I suspect that, if no organism ever died, the results likely would be catastrophic, eventually and ultimately leading to the extinction of all life on earth as environmental resources would be depleted. I suspect that competition among organisms would outstrip cooperation in this situation.

You would be the first talking corpse! What if you died but you were able to talk while you were in the casket at the funeral home. You would be the first talking corpse!

Not to be morbid....but as a matter of personal space, death is good. Ugh…I live in NYC…we already have 8 million…if no one died we literally wouldn’t be able to move around.
