More of the same

What to write, what to write, what to write? This blog is so small, I send so much around to my peeps in teh emailz, I can't remember what needs talking about and what does not. Only fools and friends read this thing anyhizzle (and some of them might be one and the same!) and the fools are a figment of my fevered...ff..ff.f..some work for thinking involving and f. To be sure.

On another blog there was talk of getting people off of the planet, permanently, in order to reduce environmental impact. It's not my blog (obviously) so I'll stick to questioning it here.

This isn't really what I want to write about.

But let's go with it, a thought experiment as a guy I know likes to say.

Energy costs go up, resources diminish, people pile up, over crowding, not enough of anything for anybody, this is the Malthusian Crisis. Already we consume more energy per person than at any other time in history. Unless my theories about recurrent human civilization transcending the dimensional boundary as nano-tech reduces their ruins to atomic rubble are correct. And they probably are.

Of course we also *generate* a lot more energy now than ever before (as indicated by the fact that we're consuming so much more).

Stress and strain, ecosphere in the balance, what results?

Pessimistic: A lot of people die. I don't think people as a people will die, but lots of us will, this reduces our footprint, causes weird planetary consequences, and life, as life, if not as human civilization, goes on. Woo. But I think we are likely to survive such a scenario as well. Will the post-fuckup be like the pre-fuckup? Unlikely. Of course, obviously. But...you know..so fucking what right? Shit happens. More precisely shit IS FUCKING GOING to happen. To you. To me. To people we love. Etc. Does this mean we should lay down, roll over, and spread our cheeks for the cosmic dildo coming from the sky? Not anymore than it does in MA\SD circles. We should work to prevent it. We should certainly work to prepare for it.

Meh. Lost interest, lost the thread. Posting....
