The protocols of five weekly 44 hours fastings attempts for about one and half month will be. 
    Saturday last meal at 15    = 9 h
    Sunday 24 hours fasting     = 24 h
    Monday first meal at 11 pm  = 11 h 

Sunday++ fastings: The goal is 5 times 44 hours fastings. 
  4 okt, 44 hours - Ok.

The primary reason for wars is over population. So what about talking about how to create harmony on this earth by having some control of procreation.

 Seek out a tree and let it teach you stillness.
Eckhart Tolle

“The West’s Financial System on the Brink of Collapse.”

Because of the greed/addiction of the creditors.

As of today I am going to attempt to do weekly 44 hours fasting from Friday 20 February 26 to at least through Mars.  Two nights and one day 44 hours fasting.     

Friday is föstudagur in Icelandic which means fasting day.

The days in Icelandic are, sunnu (sun), mánu (moon), þriðju (three), miðviku (mid week), fimmtu (fifth), föstu (fasting), lauga (wash) – all ending with the word dagur (day).

what would be the optimal way to keep world population stable for centuries and bring about harmony on earth
ChatGPT said:

Stabilizing the world population for centuries while also fostering global harmony is an enormous challenge that involves ethical, cultural, environmental, economic, and political dimensions. There is no single “optimal” way, but a multi-pronged approach rooted in sustainability, human rights, and equity is essential. Here’s a strategic framework:
🌍 1. Education, Especially for Women and Girls

Why: The most effective and ethical way to reduce birth rates.

What to do:

Universal access to primary and secondary education.

Comprehensive sexual and reproductive health education.

Empowerment programs that delay early marriage and support female leadership.

Evidence: Countries with high female education levels have much lower fertility rates.

🏥 2. Universal Access to Healthcare and Family Planning

Why: People must be able to make informed reproductive choices.

What to do:

Affordable and accessible contraceptives.

Maternal and child healthcare.

Safe and legal reproductive health services.

⚖️ 3. Eradicate Poverty and Improve Economic Security

Why: Poverty is closely linked with high fertility rates.

What to do:

Universal basic needs: food, clean water, shelter.

Social safety nets and income support.

Fair wages and access to jobs, especially in the Global South.

🕊️ 4. Promote Peace, Justice, and Stable Governance

Why: War, instability, and corruption undermine development and population planning.

What to do:

Support democracy, human rights, and rule of law.

Invest in conflict prevention and peacebuilding.

Reduce inequality within and between countries.

🌱 5. Shift to Sustainable Economic Models

Why: Current growth models require infinite growth on a finite planet.

What to do:

Embrace degrowth or steady-state economies.

Transition to circular economies that prioritize reuse, not consumption.

Redefine success metrics beyond GDP—e.g., well-being, ecological health.

🧬 6. Foster Global Cultural Awareness and Collaboration

Why: Harmony requires a shared vision for humanity.

What to do:

Promote cross-cultural dialogue and respect.

Global ethics education that values interdependence and responsibility.

Global citizenship programs, especially for youth.

📉 7. Target a Fertility Rate of ~2.1 Children per Woman

This is the replacement level fertility rate that maintains stable population.

Avoid coercive policies like forced sterilization or one-child laws.

Encourage voluntary, informed choices toward smaller families.

🌐 8. Plan for Aging Populations and Demographic Transitions

Why: As birth rates decline, societies must adapt to aging populations.

What to do:

Rethink retirement, pensions, and eldercare systems.

Invest in automation and lifelong learning.

Embrace immigration as a stabilizing force.

🚨 Avoid These Pitfalls:

Coercive or authoritarian population control measures.

Eco-fascism or blaming specific groups.

Neglecting the root causes of population growth (inequality, lack of education, etc.).

✅ In Summary: A Long-Term Population and Harmony Strategy
Area Goal Tools
Education Empower informed decisions Free universal education, esp. girls
Health Voluntary, safe reproductive choices Family planning, maternal health
Economy Reduce poverty & insecurity Equitable development, UBI
Governance Peace and justice Anti-corruption, democratic institutions
Sustainability Live within planetary boundaries Circular economy, green energy
Culture Unity in diversity Ethics education, global citizenship

what would be the optimal population on earth
ChatGPT said:

The "optimal population" of Earth depends heavily on what you're optimizing for. There’s no universally agreed-upon number, but experts and models suggest ranges based on different goals like sustainability, quality of life, environmental impact, and economic productivity.

Here are some scenarios:
✅ 1. Ecological Sustainability

    Estimate: 1.5 to 3 billion

    Based on: Earth's biocapacity—the amount of renewable resources Earth can provide and absorb.

    Assumptions:

        Everyone lives with a high standard of living.

        Global carbon emissions and resource use are kept within safe limits.

    Sources: Studies by scientists like Paul Ehrlich and analyses from the Global Footprint Network.

    Trade-off: Lower population = lower consumption = better environmental health.

✅ 2. Modern Technological Civilization

    Estimate: 4 to 8 billion

    Based on: Maintaining advanced economies, innovation, and global trade, while reducing extreme inequality and ecological damage.

    Assumptions:

        Shift to renewables, circular economy, sustainable agriculture.

        Global cooperation to reduce waste and overconsumption.

    Trade-off: Requires large-scale system changes, but allows a large population to live well.

✅ 3. Maximum Supportable with Technology

    Estimate: 10 to 12+ billion

    Based on: Stretching resources with technology: lab-grown food, desalination, vertical farming, synthetic fuels, etc.

    Assumptions:

        Aggressive innovation and equity.

        Radical changes to current lifestyles.

    Trade-off: Higher ecological risk, massive reliance on complex systems, potential for collapse if systems fail.

✅ 4. Quality of Life & Freedom

    Estimate: 500 million to 2 billion

    Based on: Philosophical ideals like those from E.O. Wilson or the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement.

    Assumptions:

        Smaller population leads to less pressure on nature, more space per person, more autonomy.

        Easier to sustain high education, health care, and environmental quality.

    Trade-off: Would require large reductions in population over time (non-violently), possibly through declining birth rates.

Summary Table:
Goal	Optimal Population
Ecological Sustainability	1.5 – 3 billion
Balanced Civilization	4 – 8 billion
Maximum with Tech	10 – 12+ billion
High Quality of Life, Low Impact	0.5 – 2 billion
Today’s Reality (2025)

    Current population: ~8.1 billion

    We’re already overshooting several planetary boundaries (climate, biodiversity, freshwater use, etc.)

    So, at this level, sustainability would require massive shifts in:

        Consumption patterns

        Energy use

        Waste management

        Equity across nations

If you want, I can help you calculate a custom optimal population based on specific assumptions (e.g., average energy use, food consumption, land availability, etc.).

Think about it.  There might be 1.800.000 people dead, almost all men, sons, fathers, brothers and husbands at the Ukrainian battlefield of the war between the West and BRICS countries.  Probably mostly Ukrainians young men so far.   This is tragedy beyond words.  This is a war impossible to win against Nuclear superpower Russia and their allies India and China.  Where are the wise men of the West and where are the wise men of Ukraine?
