>Estimate the total number of people who have died in wars and conflicts at around 1.5 to 2 billion (as above)
seems way too much
"Estimate the total area of the Earth without the oceans, which is the land area, at around 148.94 million square kilometers (this estimate is based on data from NASA).
Estimate the total number of people who have died in wars and conflicts at around 1.5 to 2 billion (as above).
Divide the total number of fatalities by the total land area of the Earth without the oceans to calculate the number of deaths per square meter: 1.5 to 2 billion / 148.94 million square kilometers = 10 to 14 deaths per square meter.
Hmm.... really makes you think.
>Hmm.... really makes you think.
it does. if all the draft was voluntary then all the right people would have died leaving the world better off without them. if only all the soldiers in the world would kill each other simultaneously without destroying everything.
soldiers aren't honorable, they are the trash that keeps the violence going. they go to war believing they are the good guys against some other idiots who also believe they are the good guys, meanwhile all soldiers have always been bad guys.
I asked another AI
No, the result is not the same as in the original text. The original text claims there are 10 to 14 deaths per square meter, but this is incorrect and seems to be a misunderstanding.
When the calculations are done correctly, the result is much smaller. We calculated that for the lower estimate of total fatalities (1.5 billion):
1.5 billion / 148.94 * 10^12 = 10.06 * 10^-6 deaths per square meter
And for the higher estimate of total fatalities (2 billion):
2 billion / 148.94 * 10^12 = 13.42 * 10^-6 deaths per square meter.
This means there are approximately 0.00001 to 0.000014 deaths per square meter, not 10 to 14.
The mistake in the original text seems to come from a misunderstanding of units. The result of the division is in deaths per square meter, not deaths per square kilometer. There are 1,000,000 square meters in a square kilometer, so the original calculation is off by a factor of 1,000,000.
So, the correct interpretation of the calculation is that there are approximately 0.00001 to 0.000014 deaths per square meter of land on Earth, or 10 to 14 deaths per square kilometer. This is a much lower density of deaths than the original text suggested.
