Is there such a thing as optimum-size population?

Unofficial Technocracy FAQ Ver. 1.2 (HTML)
Under the rules of the Price System game, an ever-increasing population is demanded by those who have special interests and their own private axes to grind. But from the point of view of social well-being, it is obvious that if the population is not stabilized, it will expand until finally checked by lack of the means of sustenance. On the other hand, if the population is too small, there will not be enough people to properly man and operate a highly technological civilization.

Question: Is the multiracial population in the U.S. growing? Do we know the size of this population?

Questions and Answers for Census 2000 Data on Race
Answer: This is the first census that collected and tabulated data on people reporting two or more races, so we do not have an exact measure of change in the multiracial population. However, Census Bureau research shows that the number of children living in mixed-race families has been increasing in the past two decades. In 1970, the number of children living in mixed-race families totaled 460,000. This number increased to 996,070 in 1980 and reached almost 2 million in 1990.

Every group has different dynamics but we believe that groups of 8 travelers are more preferred, for two reasons; (1) a group of 8 people remains small enough that everyone can interact with each other easily and (2) in terms of access to golf tee times and hotel arrangements we have found this size of group to be the easiest to accommodate. Of course, we are delighted to assist with groups of 2 to 150 travelers.

IF WE ARE ALL REBORN, HOW CAN THE WORLD POPULATION INCREASE?

Frequently Asked Questions
According to Buddhism, unless we achieve Arhantship or Buddhahood, we will be reborn, but not necessarily as human being or even in this same world. A simplified example: if we behave "like an animal", we create all the potential to be reborn as an animal. So we will not automatically be human next life. In the same way, an animal can come back as human next life.

If there's only a fixed number of souls, how has the world population increased?

The Reincarnation FAQ
This is often heard from people who don't believe in reincarnation. First, if people don't believe in reincarnation, why would they believe in a limited number of souls? And one has to ask such people why they really expect that there is a limit to life within in the universe. However having said that, it is interesting to note that as man's population has increased, the animal kingdom has gradually been decimated - and that is where some mystics say human souls gradually evolve upwards from.

If there are no new souls, how can the world's increasing population be explained?

Dr. Bruce Goldberg's Frequently Asked Questions
The soul is electromagnetic radiation and is able to split itself into equal components. This way it can learn karmic lessons and grow spiritually at a faster rate. For example, if our soul(oversoul) occupied three bodies(subsouls) for a mere 13 generations(390 years), one oversoul would be represented in over 1.5 million bodies!

What steps should I take to get the optimum performance out of the encoder?

QDESIGN : Frequently Asked Questions
In general, use only high quality, digitally-recorded audio source material. If you are encoding material from a CD, try to record the file via direct digital transfer instead of recording through the analog input of your system's sound card. This can be done with standard tools such as QuickTime 4 Pro on the Mac, and with both commercial products and shareware tools on the PC. If you must record from an analog audio source, use the highest quality sound card available.
