If U didn't view this lecture, then U are part of the problem...jmho.
I know many consider my views to be "over the top", but WHEN U see this video and fully understand the world's problem of exponential growth, then U understand that all the democratic wonder of the world is INCAPABLE of delivering the Western world from SEVERE pain...
GROWTH is the problem! GROWTH is exponential...GROWTH MUST STOP!
We are OUT of resources, food, water, land, OIL! Just as U can't get out of debt with more debt, U can't solve the growth problem with MORE GROWTH!
The above mathemetician has two lists. One which acts to solve growth, the other which makes it worse.
Health care, employment, prosperity, human rights, peace, more children, (ALL the things we as humans LOVE), act to make growth worse...
War, famine, epidemics, unemployment, birth-control, (ALL the things humans despise), are the solutions to growth...!
SO, how is democracy supposed to help the situation??!
The tough choices can never be made by politicians. Only mother nature can help this situation I fear.
Famine, war, disease, will eventually solve this problem...and all the belief in god, love, and understanding in the world will get US nowhere. We consume too much too quickly...exponentially!..and we are at one minute to midnight...
The lecture above is SO important for any thinking human to understand.
Thanks Cockerel1!
