You could just say the exact same thing about cancer

If you solve world hunger though it makes literally no difference. People in those countries still won't be educated, still won't contribute to the earth as a whole.

Fuck cancer.

Cancer probably. It depends on what the solution is for solving world hunger.
>>
>>336988783
Neither. Humanity doesn't deserve either. I would have the scientists who cured cancer rounded up and executed quietly. Can't have the knowledge slipping out.

Ending world hunger would simply cause the population in Africa and India to explode even more. Eventually, we will run out of space as our leaders import more third world immigrants and life would be hell.

Cure cancer. It's something to do with overpopulation.

If you solve world hunger, humans would just exponentially multiply until space and other resources becomes the problem, instead of food.

Now if you cure cancer, only a few benefits from it, so it wouldn't really disturb the balance that much.

Curing cancer will just breed something else to fuck us up in a few decades. and solving world hunger won't last very long.

The powers that be will just develop super cancer, and make poor people starve again to keep the balance.

>>
>>336988783
We had this thread infinite times and arguments are still same.
World Hunger: We have resources for that, just nobody gives a fuck and giving niggers food for free would result in population explosion and collapse of civilization.
Cancer: We become timeless, cancer kills literally everyone who don't get to die first from other causes, like getting shot by a well-fed niglet.

If you starve, you weren't strong enough.

But hunger is only really a problem in the less civilized areas of society. Which likely would not suddenly say, "Well we have food, lets stop killing each other and forcing our own people into slave labor or child soldiery or any other fucked up shit." They would keep doing that so they could have more power and wealth. Curing cancer would not come from giving those asshats food. Even if you are talking homeless people in civilized countries. They don't have to worry about feeding themselves, are they going to suddenly stop drinking and pull their lives together, go off and find a cure for cancer? Fuck no they aren't. Most of them will go buy more booze and drugs with the extra cash they have. Curing cancer is the best decision here.

People also don't seem to realise that when you fix world hunger, we will eventually be able to achieve things we're currently holding off.

We can setup a far more aggressive space program, develop orbital platforms and stations, eventually start building a dyson sphere, colonization of our system and moving on to the next planetary system.

It is the start of humanity's leap to the start, but you faggots are too busy voting to cure cancer for the few.

Solving world hunger is not going to be very effective if there's conflicts in some place of the world who will just take the food for themselves and tell the starving population blame it on X.

>>336990315
Anyone who votes to cure cancer has a very short view on humanity and fails to see the bigger picture, and/or is too fucking sheltered to realise the reality of the world, as it truly is.

The adults aren't the one who need help, its the children, children whom some of have already become significant forces of good in history. Getting more of these children to stay alive and healthy gives them the chance to develop into people who matter.

And by removing the food supply question to the whole planet and giving us a massive leg up in resource management, we are given the freedom to research, develop and build more, even divert resources we used to channel into global food supply into energy instead.

tl;dr: picking "fuck cancer" is for amerifats

THREAD SUMMARY:

Cancer better short term option
Hunger better long term option

Most people don't have the foresight or understanding to think long term so they say cancer, nothing else to see here, move along!
>>
>>336989206
Solving world hunger is about educating people.

There's a misconception that it would be about us producing enough food for them, but we already do that. (The food we throw away each year could feed the starving)

The key is actually having the infrastructure to get food to hungry people, which requires stability and peace, things which are ultimately achieved through education.

The notion of food scarcity as population control is actually a myth, we generate food in surplus. Overpopulation is also a bit of a fallacy, with many developed nations actually facing a population crisis in terms of age and birthrates (Russia, Japan). Once nations develop, educate and plateau they generally have the means to feed their population manyfold. The real issues in the developed world usually revolve around credit, debt or housing.

Hunger, hands down. Not only do you save millions of lives, you also skyrocket the potential sustainable population.

Curing cancer on the other hand just means rich people live about 10 years longer.

Mostly because they can't into not being short sighted. I'm not saying everyone needs to try to be America/Russia/China/etc, but they kind of need to get their shit together and worry about how things will be three or four generations down the line instead of I WILL BE WORLD KING OF THE AFRICAS only to be shot by child soldiers.

I hate to say this because it sounds /pol/ as fuck, but the quickest way to bring Africa to the first world is to take it away from the Africans. Let someone else run the show and enforce the rules long enough for the stupid fucks to be washed out. They may never be a world power, but they can be brought up from doped up child soldiers to, at the very least, DESIGNATED SHITTING STREETS level of civilization.

>>
>>336988783
From a practical perspective, Cancer is the better choice. World hunger is nice from a moral perspective, but the world really doesn't benefit from a sudden and massive population boom that would ensue. It would result in a massive shortage of resources, war and tons of other problems. Cancer would just raise the average lifespan of most first world countries by a couple years and cut some tragedy out of people's lives.

Hunger would be fine if we lived in the future where people could just be carted off to space colonies or some sci fi shit, but that aint the case.
>>
>>336993196
In the same way that suicide makes you immune to dying in a traffic accident, yeah. It's specifically the rich people because they're the ones with the cash to cover medical bills for things that can kill them before cancer.

Are they though? What's the use in going abroad to point out what doesn't work on a continent when you've got the same issues back home? China has some of the most abysmal poverty in the world despite being a 'BRIC' nation. The truth is that Africa is a god send for China because it costs their companies so little to operate out there and there's so little regulation.

/v/ also uses that video to deride all of Africa, while ignoring areas like Lagos and Accra which are developed and maintain infrastructure. The guy in that video was in the sticks (where business is cheapest), what was he expecting?

Americans throw away enough food every year to feed everyone on the planet many times over.

The issue isn't food production. Its infastructure and logistics. Most places where people starve, its because there is no cost effective way to get them food.

If it was profitable to sell food to some dirt farm in Bumfuck Africa, they would have plenty of food.

Not really. China has its current population purely as a result of efficient farming methods let them eat to their heart's content even while being poor as fuck.

I'm not saying he was wrong, the film shows what he saw. Every country has abandoned infrastructure, that's the fallacy I'm pointing out. The point made in the video isn't as profound as anons make out because business 101 is buy low and sell high. Why ridicule somebody for a the condition of their town when the only reason you're there is because it's cheap for you to set up? The people living there were fed and there wasn't a war, so who really cares if the infrastructure had fallen into disrepair? Zhang was only upset about it because it made HIS job more difficult.

Also the idea that you can 'leave' infrastructure systems to a community and everything will be hunky dory is silly. We don't know what access the local government had to the fuels, metals or specialist labour required to maintain what was already built.
>>
>>336993738
I agree, but isn't that only if the goal is for Africa to source food remotely, which seems like the least cost effective option for them?

It's not profitable for other countries to sell to them, and there isn't the level of development to sustain a population of that size within the country itself.
>>
>>336994605
Well sure. But thats the issue isn't it? Humanity produces considerably more food than it needs, but it doesn't have a method to actually get it to everyone.

And not everyone can produce their own food in sufficient amounts either.

But its not because people are callous or because some countries eat too much. Its just simple economics and lack of necessary agricultural infrastructure in lots of places.

World hunger.

Cancer will eventually be solved, but food will always be an issue.
>>
>>336988783
This is easy.

Curing cancer just means more people live. Some of those people are good and some are bad.

World hunger can already be cured, we produce more food than everyone needs to live a healthy life but it id distributed by where the money is. If you are able to actually solve world hunger it means you have either pushed humanity past material greed or you have created an ideal economic system where all essential needs are met for every person on the planet allowing them to reach their full potential.

Easiest choice I've ever seen.

Assuming perfect efficiency and conservative intake requirements yes, but the truth of the matter is the real world is not perfectly efficient, and of course humans are creatures of excess too. That combined with other issues such as the looming threat of peak phosphorous, a population expected to grow another 6 billion, and issues of adequate nutrition other than just bulk Calories means that the issue isn't so simple as just having proper transportation infrastructure to solve world hunger for good.

unless you produce your own food, it would only take a couple months for you to starve to death, maybe more since so many people are overweight, they would actually have an advantage. and it would only take days for there to be massive riots if food production/transportation was interrupted even in mostly white countries.

It's not true. Sharks can get cancer, it's just rare
>>
>>337000439
There are a few species which very very rarely get cancer. One reason I have read about for why some species to get it so rarely is because while humans only have a few genes that make sure that DNA replication is error free or terminate cancer cells, some other animal species have sometimes up to double digits of copies of "error checking" genes inter spaced throughout their genome making the error rate or possibility that a cell will manage to become cancerous very low.

Still while there are some species that rarely get cancer, due to the way DNA works I do not believe there are any complex DNA based organisms which are immune to cancer so long as they live long enough for errors to start building up.

I am a layman though so take that with a grain of salt.

World hunger is a matter of logistics and incentivizing proper economies. We have barely figured out the basics of cancer. If you solve the former solving the latter is still going to be just as unattainable.

Cancer is the obvious answer. All the money you save in healthcare can be spent on food if you're so desperate to end world hunger as well.

Except that's not what the world wants of them. There are no other jobs. Just the same jobs already filled by other people. There is only so much need for education in the world. Why do you think so many college grads struggle the find work, even below their education levels?
