The delusions of the blogosphere’s village idiot, Trajan75, just continue to spiral out of control. Now it appears that Captain Freakopod has taken issue with elementary school biology. He dedicated an entire post to this comment of mine:

Hey, Trajan – I have a news flash for you: Everybody dies.
It’s part of the natural cycle of life. Everything – from bacteria to blue whales, cancer patients to Christians – eventually shuffles off this mortal coil and departs the land of the living for the great unknown beyond the shores of the river Styx. Despite efforts by scientists and plastic surgeons to postpone the inevitable, the world death rate is still steady at 100%.
But Trajan disagrees. His omnipresent urge to argue has led him to issue his most ludicrous proclamation yet – he is anti-death. (But pro-genocide, oddly enough.) He doesn’t think anybody should die, and that all humans should be immortal. Well, let’s just see what would happen to the human population if we followed Trajan’s “everybody lives forever” plan:
As any fool can plainly see, the rate of population growth explodes geometrically when set against a high UN prediction of population growth. Instead of nine billion people in the world in 2050, under Trajan’s plan we’d have 247 billion people on the planet. Those 247 billion people would all need food and shelter and water and jobs and money, and would all be competing for the extremely limited resources left on our planet. There would be massive food riots and water wars and famine and starvation that would last for eternity. Billions of people would be doomed to misery and suffering, praying for a merciful death that would, alas, never come.
That’s the world Trajan wants.
He is truly a cruel and unfeeling individual.
