Food for thought ;)

But it's also a 'how long is a piece of string' argument.....

Does it mean "how many people can live on Planet Earth" if we keep using our current methods??

Or Does it mean 'How many people can live on Planet Earth' if we use ALL our technical abilites and build nuclear/fusion power stations, ultra-high density housing and make our food out of hydroponic and yeast culture vats (like in the sci-fi books)????

It depends on HOW we live. We will find out by the end of this century. If we live conservatively and put the health of the earth before our own selfish wants, the earth could probably cope with lots of billions.

It depends on science too. Can they find a way to create oxygen and re-invent the food chain?

When the minority stop over consuming and learn to live like the majority do, we might all have a better chance of survival, but it will be far different to how we live now.

It might be an artificial world with man-made everything. I don't think the future will paint a pretty picture. I'm glad that I won't be around.

Cheers Perceptions..

I look at it this way.

A civilisation is created and because it has no predessesor to learn from, it will make major mistakes, even possibly into ruin.

Another civilisation emerges, and it has archeological evidence to learn where the previous civilisation went wrong and thus does not repeat the same mistake.

America and Australia are much like that. America has had to exist upon its own accord with its 'mistakes' as its learning curve for America existed for a long while without 'official' existence of Australia as a modern nation. Australia had the luxury of America preceding it.

Australia has the luxury of learning from America's mistakes and need not make them itself.

...so I think this program, does come from the American angle and the world that is influenced by it. So there will be a 'breakdown', a catastrophe, etc - for that is the mistake that America will make.
Maybe the mistake will be due to toooo much "Freedom", that is - a lot of Americans still exist in a world where they are alone and Australia doesn't exist, let alone be a matter of consequence.
With that said, Australians might be toooo dependent upon all things  America and need to go it alone a bit more ;)

dear ones,

i am with you now and bring forth this LOVE and LIGHT

from deep within my HEART for you..

on your world you may have any number of inhabitants

so long as one another comforts protects and shows compassion

for all others

and why not?

to treat all as sacred and divine

the nightmare is unfolding and dematerializing as i type here

all is in accordance with the divine plan yes

and these satanic despots are being exposed and shall leave

the stage as it were

humanity arisen*

and so it is

namaste

-:)
