Quote:In the past, advances in technology have served as the impetus for far-reaching change; we are propelled forward, and our lives are changed forever. Technology is the difference between where we are now and the path not taken. Not only is technology an important example of how aspects of the Quickening overlap and affect each other, much like a patchwork quilt, but technology is the core of the Quickening.

Indeed you can see that the boundaries of the aspects of the Quickening are blurred; here you have seen that technology affects the way we behave in society, it affects our global safety, it affects our political ties, and much more. We can look forward to astounding numbers of technological advances in the very near future. For the "Millennium Generation" and beyond, the sky will be the limit. At any rate, you should take a good look at the world around you because it won't be the same when you wake up tomorrow.

Quote:Demographic experts warn that the world should fear population collapse and not overpopulation

One such expert, Steven Mosher, president of the Population Research Institute, wrote back in 1997 in The Wall Street Journal:

Humanity’s long-term problem is not going to be too many children, but too few: too few children to fill the schools and universities, too few young people entering the work force, too few couples buying homes and second cars. In short, too few consumers and producers to drive the economy forward. The imploding markets of Europe and the economic sluggishness of Japan will spread soon enough to the U.S. and the rest of the world. Why spend hundreds of millions of dollars a year on contraception and sterilization that will only bring that day closer?

I've been thinking for a while now that the agenda is to revive the ice age again before we can finish getting out of it, and thereby cover Canada almost entirely, Europe by about half, and even the US down to 40 or 41 degrees north latitude with ice sheets a mile or two thick. That will concentrate what humans are left to a tighter band centered equatorially.

The population collapse is just nature taking it's course. Biologically, any organism (humans included) that populates itself beyond the available resources is destined for collapse, and that is just what we have done. The Greenies hope to exacerbate that and accelerate the population collapse by declaring some resources, like fossil fuels, to be off limits. The "replacement" technologies they are promoting are nowhere near ready to replace existing technologies, so by wiping out the existing technologies before replacements are ready, they are dooming millions to starvation and war. It's, I believe, a conscious effort to kill population segments off by having the population kill each other off in wars and criminal violence for resources, too busy surviving to see who is actually pulling those strings.

But to do that, they have to first get us to overpopulate, which they have done a hell of a job at.

The entirely of over-population cannot be laid solely at the feet of the "reproductive replacement rate". Another large part of the problem is existing health technology, which has allowed a lot of people who would have died 100 years ago to survive and dump their genes into the population. Since a number of fatal conditions are genetically related, those genes will guarantee an acceleration of population collapse when it starts - Lots of folks will be carrying the defective genes around thanks to medical science, and when that science is no longer available due to the rising violence, wars, and population collapse, it will generate a feedback loop that will accelerate the collapse as those folks start dying off without violence or war, because they will also be without the proper healthcare to prop their ability to continue living up.

Humans have overcome "natural selection", at least for the moment, with medical science. That will come back to bite humanity in the ass as nature takes over and starts weeding those genes out of the gene pool again after the artificial human selection of medical science is truncated.

The relatively recent push for "healthcare as a human right" is part of that deception. Neither health care, riches, nor even food is a "human right". Human rights only extend to those things a human can enforce for his or her self. If a person has to depend on someone else to supply their "rights", then those rights are not rights at all, they are charity at the good pleasure of the provider, and nothing more.

I recently watched a video on the shrinking human brain. Human brains steadily increased in size all through prehistory, but since the advent of "civilization" have started shrinking again. The modern human brain is, on average, 15% smaller today than the average human brain was 5000 years ago, and still in decline. The video blamed it mostly on the easy availability of food and sedentary life style that civilization brings, but I think it could be more a result of job diversification and specialization. People no longer need to know how to do everything for themselves. Now, they can do ONE thing, do it well and know it thoroughly, and depend on someone else to provide what they don't know how to do for themselves.

That will change, and ,may already be changing to a degree, when the supply chains of globalism undergo their engineered collapse. I don't think the change will be enough to keep most of the population out of the stone age, however, because the brain volume increase cannot come as rapidly as the supply chain collapse, so there is going to be a generations-long "learning curve", which will also assist depopulation as the folks who are unable to keep up will die off.

It was a sad day when people first started letting other folks do their thinking for them, and that is destined to get even sadder when the actual collapsing comes.

Many of your points I can agree on, others, well I just don't have enough wisdom yet to argue. Kids and them damn smartphones have really dumbed down the population.

If we look at the number of people on the planet, per amount of available resources, then yes, we are in trouble.

This is because the push for global oneness, made people move from a large number of self sustaining townships and local commerce, to everyone looking for sustenance and sustainability, from a single source. 

Individual farms, and Mom & Pop businesses, have been destroyed, by big box stores, and Amazon like businesses.

This slow but effective move to herd everyone to suck from the tit of one or two cows, was a brilliant move towards total control, with little effort. 

The herd is corralled under their own steam. All they have to do is open the gate, and ring the dinner bell.

And the masses come a running.

I did the math a few years ago, and at that time, if every human on Earth were corralled into a single circular space. allowing 4 square feet per body, they could all be contained in an area the size of an average city like Greensboro, NC, and leave the entire rest of the planet absolutely depopulated. a circle 32 miles in diameter would contain every human being then on Earth, standing room only. That leaves a lot of empty real estate, but not all of that real estate has the necessary or wanted resources to supply that tiny (area-wise) population. Especially considering the ever widening set of "needs" (really "wants") that most first-world people think are their birthright.

But we are not "standing room only", we are dispersed. That leaves us vulnerable to supply chain issues. Even hooved-up in cities, the supply chains will be an issue, as all those world-wide resources have to be transported to definitive points from their far-flung original locations.

So, no matter what the plan of the globalists is, no matter what we want or need, the herd is going to get thinned. Nothing we can do about it at this point.

Humans can "survive" on the rudimentary basics. And we did so for centuries.

We have been conditioned to believe that we can't live without electricity, running water, or stores.

We have before, and if the great reset happens, we will again.

Not the great reset the WEF has in mind. The great reset that remodels the Earth, is the one I am referring to.  

There will indeed be a great culling. There is indeed no way to escape it. But either way I hope to do the best I can for as long as I can.
