Worth watching....

(Arithmetic, population, and energy)

1. Looks like the greatest blind link I've ever seen. n/t

[Klukie]

2. I am not sure how to post the video

[HysteryDiagnosis]

3. Neither do I but a description would be cool, wait I see, arithmetic, population, seen

it and I didn't like the message however true it may be.

4. works fine

5. This isn't the "Leave Brittany alone!" video is it?

What could possibly be more important?

[Ohio Joe]

6. un-rec for blind link - nt

[Klukie]

8. Can you tell me how to post the video?

[Ohio Joe]

9. Can't in this forum but...

You can let people know what it is you want them to watch.

7. He makes perfect sense. China terrifies me. The capitalistic ideology of ever-greater growth

is rather horrific.

[Motown_Johnny]

10. That is what wars for oil are for.

Lower the population to obtain energy, problem solved :sarcasm:

[Eddie Haskell]

11. It's about exponential growth,

resource depletion, and whether or not the human race is smarter than a bacteria culture. It appears we're not.

13. The negative 3/2 Log Law of Self-Thinning applies to any

monoculture with a closed environment be it bacteria, corn, or Douglas-fir.

[Speck Tater]

12. It's an excellent talk. I watched it a long time ago.

The interesting implication is this:

The population growth must eventually stop because exponential growth of population is not physically possible on a finite planet. Therefore we should do whatever we can to lower the rate of population growth. However, medicine, sanitation, public health, peace, law and order, accident prevention, clean air, etc., all contribute to increasing the rate of population growth by lowering the death rate.

Therefore, it follows that by championing these causes we are making the population crisis worse. That's a rather unsettling conclusion, but from the standpoint of physics it's a simple fact. The more we help people to live a better life, the worse the overpopulation problem becomes.

The way to fix that problem is to voluntarily decrease the birth rate. If we don't, then as population pressure increases the death rate WILL go up.

14. link worked for me . . .

posting the rest of the links for the series would be nice.
