Rather than just criticize rampant consumerist culture (although that is certainly entertaining in its own right), I have been working on my MASTER PLAN TO SAVE THE WORLD. I am almost ready to unveil it to the general public. It will be the practical realization of an ecocentric ethos that will be necessary to save civilization from its own worst excesses. As you might imagine, it will be a lengthier post. So I'll need a few days to bring it all together.

Childhood? I was already an adult when that show was on. But yes, I did find it rather amusing.
Sometime when you're not protesting, let me buy you a beer at JJ's Grill on John R and Lincoln.
Originally posted by KunsooDo you see any immediate dangers on the short term that will severely restrict our western lifestyles? There's global warming, but that will, if anything, affect poor countries and (semi-)arid regions. Meat will become more expensive as fertile land becomes increasingly scarce (meat production requires a lot of land), but people will just start eating less of it once that happens. There's plenty of coal and nuclear power to last a long time. Cars can run on electricity. Plastic can be produced renewably. Metals can be recycled.
Is that based on anything empirical, or just wishful thinking?
Originally posted by KazetNagorraYour optimism is indistinguishable from willful blindness. Do you think all those poor people in all those poor countries are just going to sit there and bake while people in the western countries bask in their air conditioning? Among the many ecological effects global warming will have, it will also cause immense social and political instability.

Planning to take over the world requires better beer than that.
Originally posted by rwingettYes, I'll remember to put on the air conditioning next winter when it's -25 °C again.
