Hey Sam.
I think you have many good points here. After I wrote the last point I had the
realization that I was allowing myself to get sucked into a defense of my
intent. This is counter purpose to me. When I made the offer of a different
forum to discuss the issues I should have left out the point about what I
consider small-minded attacks and kept the focus on discussion of solutions.
The other is a side-issue that I think is better brought up at a later time,
and for the time being best to be mostly ignored.
I'm planning on watching Money Masters this weekend.
I am glad you are going to school to study these things. I've recently gone
back to school as well. My focus is on technology and resource based economies.
I think your outline of the way things could happen is a very probable one if
we keep going in the same direction that we have been. I also think that even
more disastrous possibilities may be a likely alternative. This is why I think
it is important for people to start talking and planning now so that there is a
possibility for us to guide out future into a smoother transition.
All in all I am looking for any plan that can be implemented, tested,
remodified, and is to use a computer terminology "scalable." I suffer
no delusions that it will be got right the first time, and I also think there
is no failure only feedback.
I still haven’t seen facts one way or another about carrying capacity given
certain technologies. I do think it is a mistake to only focus on one such as
"memory steal". We should not limit ourself, but look to what is
workable.Could you explain why technological solutions don’t seem like good ones to you?
Thanks again,
zaq
Ps. From what I have gathered I think I am showing up as
close minded to you. I would like you, and everyone, to understand this is not
the case. I am looking for solutions. This is bigger than my personality. This
is bigger than personal conflict. This is about the future of the world. This
is about everybody. I don’t have time to be petty. I want to find workable
solutions. This is the driving principle in my life.
