look at an intelligent civilization as having different tiers. I forget what the first tier is, but number 2 is nuclear energy. number 3 is controlling the planets weather.
the problem with living as Indians or an earth based science is the natural state of the earth is an ice age. if humans did not come around when we did and cause the planet to warm, our species would be living in an ace age more often than not.
it's the theory of the cosmic diamond, except instead of it applying to the universe it can apply to the planet. the last 100 years and the next 100 are the most important for us because that's when we can influence the greatest changes. where the greatest number of ppl will be alive. give or take a 10's of billions.
for our species to survive in a meaningful way, we have to learn how to control the planets weather. we've learned how to do it by accident so far. this is the global warming challenge. you can learn how to heat it by accident, but to cool it you have to do it on purpose. and you have to be forced into learning how to do it.
I still don't understand why we can't create water from molecules.
so it's meant to be. wars make technology advance. fighting over resources caused by global warming will cause us to solve global warming. but many will die in between.
..all this apocalyptic stuff, I felt weird in the supermarket today. the nice music was playing, and it was all serene. all I had to do was pick out stuff and hand over stuff that seemed worthless for it. I looked at a chicken and I thought, that's what your life is worth, $4.99. but then in a parallel universe ppl will kill each other for that $4.99 chicken. I was like, a zombie could come crashing around an isle at any moment. but then when I got to the checkout counter, the cashier, said her father has lung cancer, and I said I know a few ppl that survived that. and she probed me further and said he also has heart failure too. and I said, oh, they can manage that pretty well too these days. and I looked into her eye's and left. and I couldn't tell who was telling who.
as a species we've come a pretty long way. I hope we don't screw it up.
