The future of humanity appears headed in that direction.

"He said he believes the situation is irreversible, and it is too late ..."

AGW is accelerating and may be exacerbated by positive feedback from methane emissions from land that has lost ice and snow cover. Northern Canada, Alaska, and much of Europe are affected. Giant sinkholes have appeared in Siberia.

The rate of garbage production is not declining.

Population is increasing.

Black supremacy is violently pulling the purse strings across the world. Didjeridoo rules. Feet are stamping people into the dust of history. Megafauna are microsoft. The bones are being pointed at the end of humanity.

86 more years for this to come true

Paul Ehrlich 50 years ago: 'Collapse of civilisation is a near certainty within decades'



This thread is brought to you by the numbers 2010, 50 and the word Jeremiah (person who is pessimistic about the present and foresees a calamitous future)

The world could end at any moment.
The Yanks and the Russians have 12,000 operational nuclear weapons between them.
There used to be over 70,000 at the height of the cold war.

Just one nuke submarine could wipe out Europe or the USA.
It's madness and such weapon systems should never have been allowed to exist.
Reasonable people on both sides should have prevailed to stop it.
Either side should have seen that it's totally unacceptable.
It's like a loaded gun held to the head of every person on this planet.

the prof says "over population" proving this article is bogus

in 100 yrs under population will be a much bigger threat

How is underpopulation a threat?

Threat to who?

What is under-population if there is even such a thing?

The future belongs to those who turn up for it.

Whites, Japanese are not having kids. Blacks, Arabs, Indians outbreed everyone. A dim future.

there was only 2 billion people on earth in 1950

was there anything wrong with the world back then

Stay curious.

Professor Frank Fenner might well be a brilliant scientist and virologist. However, he does know very little in regards to futurology. People are not just going to let things like climate change ruin their lives. They will take action to change.

Fenner has a real Mathusianistic belief system. Or perhaps he was trying to ensure more funding for his scientific comrades, with this scare campaign. In any case, Fenner died nearly 14 years ago, which makes arguing with his opinion rather redundant.

There should be more focus on things like political demography and cliodynamics. That would help people understand why the haves and the have-nots are how they are now. Research "Jevons paradox", too.

I worked for nearly 12 months with Frank Fenner.  He was a gentleman and a knowledgeable person.  He was very knowledgeable about virology and a smart man.  We used to argue about email and the internet.  He was very smart.  He had developed the first Army efforts against the spread of Malaria in New Guinea during WWII.  He heartily recommended the use of simple measures, such as mosquito nets and atabrine and what was interesting was that they worked.

humans as we know them now will probably be extinct fairly soon.

what is a human?

1  animal drives  (sex, food thirst keeping warm)
2  the ego  ( do you like my haircut, does my bum look big, look at my new car)
3  obeying the culture (put on your mask, sit in rows at school, become a good little worker bee in the system)


how many humans have any degree of personal autonomy or direction?
how many are creative?

hardly any (maybe musk and qntin tarintino)

most spend the entire day derping


and with the AI now able to do all the creativity, what use really are humans ?
when very very shortly you will have the equivalent of a smart phone chip physically implanted in your body (and young children are raised on the things so its a small step), why would the intelligence need this useless "meat suit" at all.

why wouldnt the AI just get rid of it.



i would go so far as to say most australians are not australians

they really arent even human

they are cattle who reside in australia , but they have no australian values, they have no human values, they dont wish to contribute anything

they want to do as little as possible
they want to numb the pain of existence with drugs alcohol food netflix and porn

they most certainly do not ever want to improve

you try and show them a self help book and they get out the pitchforks


most australians are white knight

they are broke but ask them if they have ever read any books by dan kennedy or gary v or ekhardt tolle.

they will look at you like you are insane

they are broke because they have the mindset of one of my cows


feed me
keep me safe
you tell me what to do
dont scare me
dont ever challenge me
i just love my mediocrity
why would i do anything hard unless you made me
i am a taker
my life only has value to those who control me
and if you do anything i dont like i am going to moo like a victim



they locked up the entire population of victoria for a year 
and the guy in charge was no master of control

he was a derper himself 

zero desire to get out of the derp state

what possible reason is there to keep the derpers around now we have AI and robotics

they are the horse and buggy of the last century

apart from a few rare men, better they were gone


and think about this

if you are on this forum, you (and most of you live in extreme derping) are STILL in the elite levels of human achievement

let that land

most of the people around you , who you see at the mall would NEVER  have anough energy to post on a forum like this

they are much happoer eating maccas, walking around with glazed over eyes and being cattle

If theres no hope for white knight, there is far less hope for them

At least he has the energy to think about these things (cut and paste) , even though he is 100 % wrong on nearly every topic

carl

at least you are engaging in debate


most people  your age  are so much like cattle , that they get up.
think about food
derp out on netflix or the soapies
complain about their aches and pains
watch the news and see a few murders and fires and car accidents and dwell on the unsafe world (they never venture into)
have a beer and a panadine  forte to numb the pain of their existence
if they do talk its just to gossip and whinge
and take a mogadon to sleep


now, of what benefit are they to the planet?
how are they different from a cow ?
and why would an intelligent AI see any reason for continuing their existence ?
