if you read the newspapers.... or journalism.... you keep reading about money market crisis, EU crisis, debt crisis, Italy, Greece, unemployment in America.... no-one is telling you what the real problem is or what the solution could be... you're only reading that the 500 million strong, 16 trillion dollar a year EU economy is hampering this, that and other in america and around the world......
really?
what is really the problem?
the problem is the future population of the Earth and resource management...... do your own research about coal and petrol supplies and come up with your own numbers... let's say you have a comfortable 200 years supply or even 300 years (or more).... then look at the numbers of expected population growth: 7 billion now, maybe 10 billion by 2050......
then listen to all the dissonance and scare-mongering and denial about climate change.... some scientists say it's real, many right-leaning people say, whatever man, let's drill that oil.......
clearly, if there is no clear leadership on these issues it's because at heart, people don't want to know about them... that is what's happening... and if people do not want to know about them then it must be because they believe in their minds, 'we'll cross that bridge when we get to it'....... and why not?
what is there to say that we cannot find a better energy solution once the petroleum companies are finished reaping their profits?
it's just a little odd, don't you think? all this uncertainty about the issues of the EU economy, the world economy by extension, the american unemployment problem, and no-one looking at the scope of the big problem (future planning and resource management)
why would alot of people not care? well if you have a job and you're happy with the money you're making, why would you care? unless you're one of these pesky left-wing do-gooders like al gore, right?
well that seems to be the mentality
there's some economist out there, apparently he and his teams of economists predicted the 2008 real estate and sundry related collapses in america and by extension, around the world -- about 3 years before it happened, now this fellow is saying that you might be seeing 50% unemployment in america and high inflation.....
certainly this kind of poverty would not be strange to the majority of the people in the world at the moment, a great many of whom currently find their own economies steadily rising, often at 5 to 10% growth per year....... so this kind of dissatisfaction is not currently unknown to today's man...... even as Bushy said, (Bushy who i have included in my 'England's Bigots' section, despite having a soft spot for the old gipper) 'the world is full of different interests'... ain't that the truth?
but let's say this kind of scenario plays out, fulfilling nietzsche's prediction that the last man would find it too difficult to get rich... people jumping about like parasites (jet travel) - a world become small and full of people that say 'we have created happiness' and blink (furtherance of democracy and american ideals)...
what would be the cause of such a crisis? obviously it would be unsustainability of resource management, right? (possibly coupled with extra climate catastrophes possibly caused by mankind itself).... how would you, then, avoid such a catastrophe? you would find an alternative source of energy and start planning for its widescale implementation
as this inevitably must happen, even if we just go back to eating horseflesh over a campfire like in the old days, will we wait until the need arises? like america before the japanese bombed them or russia before the germans invaded them in world war ii (and why did such little biddy nations want to take on such gigantic enemies anyway? but that's a different topic).... or will we plan for it?
benji predicts, that humans are like the south park creators that scamper to hurriedly finish every detail in the final moments before production.... therefore humans will not adequately plan for anything and will higglety-pigglety invite themselves into a quagmire (no relation to family guy's quagmire) of their own creation... this of course being a very sweeping generalization as different demographic growths and playouts (e.g., in sub-saharan africa) will run counter to the general grist.... also conditions in china are different to elsewhere, etc
