Re: “Breaking the addiction ...” article.

A Hubert quote from the article: He is quoted as having said, "Our ignorance is not so vast as our failure to use what we know."

The bottom line.

Where IS that 'Theory of Everything' ?

I've begun to look at things so differently.

The issue isn't even "knowledge." It's CONTROL.

There are some things we just cannot control, know matter how smart we are.

Like population growth, the root of all our evils.

OK. then, what/how is control to be accomplished without knowledge ? I'd sure give control 2nd billing.

Actually, I see pop. growth as simply a Function of the availability of cheap energy. It blossomed with oil and electricity's spread, and will find a new level when the 'sugar' dries up. We won't all die off.. just a lot of us.
