Lets see if next time around the numbers double because more human growth is better. Who wants empty space when it can be filled and make money. Congrats to the scientist. They keep the money coming.

Is science a double-edged sword? Ike Davis, I got a Thoreau Locke on some Bacon, and I always want More. It is not science or even technology that are in themselves double-edged, but our application of both. •We discover the incline plane, invent knives — and then we start to kill each other with them. •We discover the Coanda Effect, create airplanes — and proceed to bomb cities. •We discovered the principles of nuclear physics, create nuclear reactors — and proceed to threaten civilization. You see? It’s not the science or the technology, but, in my view, our species-wide affliction of scarcity, that drives our pathological destructiveness. Literally all of these cause us to harm or kill large numbers of people on a regular basis: •We don’t have enough food or water •We don’t have enough land •We don’t have enough energy •We don’t have enough freedom •We don’t have enough social power We don’t have enough. We never have enough, sometimes by design. It is one of the defining characteristics of humanity. And we use evermore sophisticated tools to quench our thirst for more, more of everything. Our problem isn’t knowledge, but wisdom, and that too is scarce. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 06/27/2017 05:38AM by riverhousebill. Re: New population BOOM to fuel the economy 11.2 billion

Date: June 27, 2017 04:20PM We will need greater and greater dosages of verbal interpretations to make us feel that everything is ok. There will be a huge demand of persuaders to make people feel good and compensate the increasing crap. PEople will need more education to understand. Because if they don't understand they are the problem. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
