Survey: What if people were larger?

Sunday,  11/28/04  11:10 AM

A year ago I posted a series of "order of magnitude" thought experiments about the future of people.  Over the next few days, I'm going to repeat them as surveys...  Here we go.

Today's order-of-magnitude thought: What if people were larger?  Not bigger as in "I ate a lot of turkey yesterday", but bigger as in most people are about 10' tall, and weigh 400lbs...  Would that make our lives qualitatively different?  Would this be better for you, or worse?

My life would be better if people were larger
6%

My life would be worse if people were larger
80%

My life wouldn't change if people were larger
13%

total votes = 45
