Teriya]Are these scientists taking into account the fact that we no longer spend trillions of dollars making war and everyone is helping humanity reach for the next step of evolution, or are they assuming that on our current trajectory life on earth will be unsustainable?
Fly is talking about the former.. I think you're trying to make it sound like Fly is saying that the earth can hold a googol of people when he's saying that if we refocused our energy from 'beating the Joneses' and wasting time with games like Darkfall there is no limit to what mankind can accomplish...
...and that doesn't mean that there is literally no limit, it's just a figure of speech.
No. He literally said:
"Fact is; we are not over populated & we COULD NEVER BE - anyone telling you otherwise is... well I will let you figure it out"
and also this:
"Resources is not the issue & if you think that you are just silly lol.. seriously fucking silly."
He actually stated that the earth could never be over populated by human beings and that there are limitless resources on earth. Both statements are completely devoid of an basis in scientific fact or even reality for that matter.
I'm not here to debate what mankind can accomplish because that is an unknowable answer because it's the future.
Also, it's not about trajectories at all. You guys are throwing a bunch of false arguments out there. I got involved in this because he made the bonehead statements above, which are just plain wrong. It is a scientific fact that if our population growth does not slow down, we will reach a critical mass point where the earth can no longer support more human beings and we will either figure out some way to extend that number, or people will start dying off. If you guys don't believe that, I have no idea how you ever graduated high school. Well I don't know if Fly even did. I know you did because you're in the military.
*Edit* Is it possible that we might come up with the Star Terk materializer thing that makes food out of thin air? Technology that will eliminate waste (a la Vapoorize), etc? Sure, I guess....but it's pointless to debate that kind of shit because nobody is right or wrong.
