Maybe you should finish reading my posts before you reply.

Greek, I really think you need to read more of the site that I posted before you go making all of these accusations

Oh my god you are retarded. That is in relation to the energy crisis. I'm talking about the manufacturing process. I'm done replying to you, if you aren't trolling then please for the love of god never reproduce.

Me: "You need milk to make butter"

You: "No no! They have vitamin C tablets now!"

me: "That isn't what I'm talking about. That point is irrelevant. Vitamin c =/= butter"

you: "get with the times man!"

Probably true, but even still, this concept pisses me off because its so illogical.

Information on that website is a matter of prediction, not a matter of fact.

Some is based on fact and fiction.. not all of it is a prediction

If any of the ideas / projections come true humanity is in for some pretty amazing things..

I could not stop reading this while I was at work check it out!!

Awesome, but fuck that shit. If by the mid 2050s the technological singularity really does start to come a knockin, I'm joining an Amish community or some kind of Luddite commune. Technology can do whatever the fuck it will, but I mean Jesus, I've read about this shit before... I mean, turning planetary systems and most all matter into computer substrate? If you believe in the technological singularity, that's the only way things'll turn out in the end, and that's not a future I want to live to see.

I want to die a natural death, goddamnit

Thanks to The Greek for trying to pound some cold, hard reality into that shitfest retarded website.

To any of you fools who think that humanity will just continue to grow ad infinitum, you forget an undeniable fact. There is nothing that can replace the society that we have constructed with oil.

The single biggest problem with alternative energy sources is that they don't address this fact: the fertilizers that allow us to grow enough food to feed our massive, expanding population are wholly dependent on petrochemicals. Without fertilizer, and thus enough food to feed the masses, there must be a massive human die off in which more than half of the world's nearly 7 billion people must perish. This is why peak oil is the biggest problem facing humanity.

This concept is not a new one; a Malthusian catastrophe is inevitable some time in the not-so-distant future. Societies will collapse, and humanity will one day be extinct.

That realistic line of thinking is evidently beyond most of the posters here. They just wanna think the fictional world of star trek will come true.
