After enjoying the fruits of your labors, we all need a place to chill. This is that place. Totally senseless irrelevant banter encouraged.

broad energy calculation...

Post by Prawn Connery »

Exponential thinking

The more humans there are, the fewer resources between them.

However, the more humans there are, the larger the brain-pool of thinking to best utilise those resources.

As human populations grow, resources become depleted, but usage of those same resources increases in efficiency as the collective human race expands in terms of knowledge (experience) base and computational (thinking) power.

We were all going to run out of oil, remember? But now we use it more efficiently, as well as having the ability to discover and produce it more efficiently and in ways that were not prior thought of.

Have faith in the human race. Or not. It doesn't really matter if we lead to the next extinction event - the world will still be here and will recover in time.
