On a personal note. Final exams are over! Vacation in two weeks!

It is quite sad that if there is a propaganda that sends the wrong message to people and pushes them towards further ignorance and alienation of basic values such as humility, honoring your parents and other people, altruism and all that you need another one, counter propaganda, that exposes the negative first one. Oh the irony. That positive propaganda, so to speak, is in the forms of books, documentaries and public events. Things that most people seem to almolst find taboo `Wow! don`t read that book! You might learn something!`, it seems that most people, for various of reasons, are incapable to make their own opinion based on observation, analisis and action, and those who do generally have a fundamentally different view of the world.

Have you noticed it? How society is slowly becoming divided between those with knowledge and those with nothing but ignorance and fabricated opinions? A clash is coming.

More is worse in the scenarion where there is overcrowding and not enought for everybody. The population of the planet is not equally distributed. You have small villages and megapolises which are overcrowded. If the population is distributed in a way that is restricted by rescourcse, that is to say the population will be as high as not to strain the rescources of the area an provide plenty for all. If that happens megapolises, and concentration of population in the tens of millions will be a thing of the past. And the notion of ` inately aggressive and territorial` applies in circumstances where there is lack of living space and basic commodities, while i cannot say for certain, those traits will dissapear if the circumstances for them are not present.

Correct! Callummacdonald good sir, you`re even smarter than I thought! The planet is due for an ice age. Every climatologist agrees with that. So why hasn`t the Ice age happened? The answer is an unnatural ...`incident`? of nature and climate called Gulf Stream. It is responsible for the unnaturaly stable climat of the planet. Why will global warming lead to an ice age? The increase of global temperature is causing artic ice to melt, adding more fresh water to Gulf Stream and thus destabilizing  it. The amount of salt in the water, which rises its temperature, is lessened, causing the water to cool. That is the basis of it. What happens if an ice age comes? It will become so cold that transportation, such as cars or planes will stop working, consumption of fuel and rescources will rise so that people will stay warm, death of species and humans due to cold, the economy will collapse, again, and that is the tip of it. The Russians might live through it...

Short term view is generally because of lack of knowledge. It is one of the main issues, right next to abiding by the mainstream views and norms of current society, lack of values, and inability to prioritise properly what is most important.

Agreed, if there is a first large colony, it would probably be a paradise when compared to the current state of Earth. So 500 years? Hell, I give us 200. And if WW 3 happens, then 30 years. Everytime i hear someone say `The future generation will fix it`, it is almolst an instinct to punch em. I am certain there are some grandparents out there who said the same things, and look where that got Planet. We either deal with problems now or they destroy us in the future.

Life is fragile? I disagree on that. In the history of the Planet there have been several instances where over 90% of all life and species was exterminated. The worst one was when a solar storm hit earth, passed the ozone layer, which was stronger then, at eviscerated about 98% of all life on the planet. And i have to say `death by solar radiation` is extremely  horrific. All life on the planet is carbon based. Direct ultraviolet radiation from the suns tears apart carbon, something between liquidation and evisceration. And if a solar storm was to hit the planet now, with the ionosphere as weakened as it is...

But it is not all bad news. I strongly reccomend you watch Amazing Discovries by Professor Walter j. Veith. That is the ultimate documentary. It puts together ALL the pieces of the puzzle and reveals everything. All the things that man said are true. Why? I personally attempted to disprove them. And I couldn`t. All the information is based on solid material, historical facts and quotes, factually it is unshalable. Wheter you believe it or not, is your own choice. To start with watch episodes 4,5 and 21. If those do not make an impression, then feel free not to watch the rest.
