This link is probably one of the most important posts on the oil drum
because it couples population to resource using a virtual rotational velocity
component.
If you understand what I'm saying you can join the eclectic class of peak oiliest worried about growing tomatoes and in the right climate making a find bottle of wine.
Think 3D and you too will worry about the tamatoes with the perfect strawberry in reach. And the grapes deliziosa ....
Your right on the verge of embracing the now and in the case of wine the past.
The future is no different from yesterday.
Pedro I have to copy my final reply on this conversation in its entirety.
There are now six billion people on the planet you personal views converted to chemistry are measured in parts per billion. Which is often th limit of detection. Ive give you far more food for thought then most people get. Take or leave it I have a lot more to be concerned about and your personal views are barely worth consideration.
I simply don't have the time to wast for skeptics if if can execute what I feel I'm forced to do I could save millions the opinion of one of the billions is no longer important
------------------------------
Understand that skeptics are now no longer worth the resources the use to create their opinion. Its not a pretty future and its to be honest quite blunt. But suffering the skeptic is nosimply not worth the cost of not teaching the ignorant.
I suddenly and lately realize Jesus Christs true message it had nothing to do with convincing the skeptic but ensuring everyone had access to the truth.
Buddha Mohamed all recognized that enlightenment is simply a matter of offering the truth to the masses. Its a bit funny in that in comparing myself to the source of religions all I suggest is that every one must be offered the truth in making decisions.
Simple in enlightenment is the realization that I can amplify the message of some mean old coots that offer their wisdom on the oildrum I can't generate the knowledge that really helps people at best I can work as a filter but translating the knowledge embodied in the true solutionist is itself a worthy task.
Don In Maine, Tonteliia, Web, Nate, Gail, Tontelilla, Stuart, Kebab and many more offer the truth the problem widens in transmission.
People are simply not offered the chance to decide based on the real truths.
