This is directly analogous to physics
Population is displacement
Growth rate is velocity
Growth rate peaking means acceleration is 0
So the article *title says acceleration will have fallen to zero by the time displacement is 8.6 billion

That's the literal definition of a ponzi scheme, but you do you. Doesn't matter anyway. If you were born after 1980 it'll be insolvent by the time you retire.

no, that is what the headline says, but the first sentence in the article reads "A new projection of the population growth rate highlights that the world’s population could peak at 8.5 billion people by 2050, and decline to 7 billion in 2100".
The person writing the headline is an idiot made a very basic mistake. As others have said, at the point the population reaches its maximum, the rate of change will be 0.

Apart from the fact that this is a shitty analogy, the answer to your question is clearly nope, you wouldn't be at fault at all if you simply asked me to kill someone (without coercion) and I'm the one that went and killed them. DUH. What kind of lunatic would suggest otherwise?

They posted on sites like Craigslist saying come over to this address at this time and pretend to rape me and don't break character and ignore my pleases to stop. They the filed a false report saying a man showed up at the said time and place but the husband scared him off, but I don't think anyone really showed up. They tried to fake the ads being from the ex wife rather then them.

> Starting in May 2016, Diaz and his wife created multiple online accounts using his ex-girlfriend’s names and phrases associated with her, according to the indictment. They then used the accounts to communicate with men found through Craigslist “personal” ads and entice them to come to their Anaheim home to engage in a “rape fantasy” with the then-wife, according to the indictment.
I mean this could go multiple ways.

more like TAXPAYERS ( not NY ) will pay $5.5 million for NY gov't actions, while the cops, prosecutors, judges and the junk scientists who testified get off scot free. Why would they care its not their money or freedom that can be lost when they knowingly prosecute and arrest innocent people

In fact, the sharp rebound in Uzbekistan's fertility rate is much more dramatic than international institutions' estimates.

The stand up routine by comedian Neal Brennan (currently on Netflix) has an hysterical bit about a contest between 100 average Americans with all their weapons and 1 guy in the U.S. military . It is truly laugh out loud funny.

What you need to understand is that we Americans are raised in a tsunami of propaganda. It’s pounded into us from birth onwards. And you can see it when people who should know better start parroting the words of their overlords. That’s what was driving the anger of people who responded to you. Realizing that you’ve been lied to and manipulated your entire life is a bitter pill to swallow. “We’re the greatest country on earth!” “Our health care system is the best!” “We are so lucky to be Americans!” “Anyone can achieve the American dream!” It’s all bullshit and we really, really need to face that.

Dude, she did not charge him, the DA did. All she did was report her rape and answer their questions to the best of her ability. Our legal system doesn’t have the victims running this shit dude. She bares no blame, unless you think she was wrong to report being raped?
The reason we have lawyers, and a judge, and jury and fucking precedent is to determine who is guilty and innocent. Use your fucking head.
