Everything happens in cycles we are natures great big C02 exhale, once we are done and transition into big bug eyed grey aliens that probably have tech that loves C02 things will return to the way they where before, this is on a few million years timescale. In 100 million years we'll barely be noticed anymore.

I may have an advantage working for a water utility, which itself is a massive concept, yet alot smaller than anything global. I can see the effort required to put running water in every man-made structure, which in simple terms is basically a miracle that it functions as well as it does.

people might hear in the news about a city having some nasty chemical in their water, and think to themself of thats a tragedy, i'm sitting here thinking, "it's a miracle that this doesn't happen more often"

take that understood concept of running water in millions of buildings and apply that to any other resource, and you can pretty easily start to understand that this planet-sized machine humans have built to maintain their existence, has trillions of moving parts which all must function, cannot last forever, and is a miracle it has survived just decades.

young people aren't having kids, that means the elderly will rapidly out number the young. Kids are a huge economic driver, young people with no kids spend less, meaning that they also earn less. People who need more money, usually end up earning more of it. If they aren't earning money, then they aren't paying taxes, they aren't investing, they aren't spending. We go back to the start with population growth being economic growth, population shrink means economic shrink.

Less money going into the pool, means less spent to maintain the infrastructure of any resource. Less maintence means a less functional infrastructure.

this isn't a jab at capitalism, it's just a reality-based assessment by a qualified analyst. (I do believe that anything required for survival should be provided by the government, and also available in the private sector for those who choose, but that's another topic)
oh no this is a great post AAA+ quality comin from u trexller couldn't say it better myself it is a MIRACLE

Musk is totally hoping we make more ppl to find more innovative ways of clanking the machine back toghether so to speak helper nanobots for the body of civilization, butt old ppl aren't going to do that unless u brainbot them.

I've already addressed the pathos and folly of immortality in numerious other threds tho [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] + Jibartik did a much better job of it last year !
