WastelandCowboy 05/05/18 2:53:55 PM #1:	Yeah, it's messed-up to sacrifice your daughter and then wipe out half of the universe, but wiping-out half of the universe is a better solution than creating more resources. If you introduce the option of just creating more resources out of nothing, you open several doors. 1. If you can create resources out of nothing, the value of those resources plummets, and with it, the importance of working to harvest, craft, mine, collect, grow, etc those items. The eliminate of need for these important jobs brings a loss of income and drop in quality of life for these people. If you don't have to work to make these resources, what value is there in acquiring these skills and expertise, so you diminish the value of the educators and trainers who teach others how to do these professions, so that's more job loss and loss of income/quality of life. 2. If you can create resources out of nothing, various economies are decimated. Towns, cities, states, counties, and countries that specialize in exporting these resources that you can create out of nothing, like Saudi Arabia, that specializes in exporting crude oil and China, that leads in exporting all sorts of valuable commodities. There'd be no real need to export anything if Thanos can just create it from air. 3. If you can create resources out of nothing, what purpose is there to working for your money to buy these worthless items? If you don't need to worry about lack of food or drinking water, much less the value of these basic essentials, you might give in to gluttony and eat more than your body physically needs, giving way to obesity, hypertension, heart attacks, etc. Remember the ~~humans in Wall-E? Gluttony and laziness bred a generation of overweight humans.~~ Yeah, it sucks that half the universe is now gone, but it's a better alternative than what could happen. On the plus side, at least you half a 50/50 chance that pedophiles, rapists, murderers, criminals, terrorists, etc are gone. That's good, right? <cite>WastelandCowboy posted [p:900846275] in After thin...

KogaSteelfang 05/05/18 3:35:30 PM #9:	I don't see why he couldn't just use the reality stone to terraform a bunch of empty planets, then use the space stone to redistribute the population to those newly habitable planets. Then he'd only need to worry about genocide after every planet becomes overpopulated. He'd really only need 2 stones for that too. Also, isn't an entire planet starving to death from overpopulation actually something that naturally balances the universe anyway? Overpopulated planet = death, Thanos with the stones = death. I don't particularly see why he took such offense at something happening naturally that he wants to happen anyway. --- Switch FC: SW-3227-7104-3140.
