hello, i'm late to the party

but it seems we're back on some kind of semi-related topic, so, i was just wondering about this:

Quote from: vexaph0d on December 24, 2006, 08:34:31 AMdid you know: Earth has resources and arable land capable of supporting 100 billion human beings?

got a link for that, cause i heard 10 billion? but maybe that's when taking infrastructure into account (as it was an estimation come up by economists -- and sorry no i don't have a link for that either) , though i can imagine you can get up to 100 billion by just summing up the total resources theoretically available to mankind, given earth surface etc.

in either case, it only works if we divide it up all really fair-like. which is impossible, given the way social networks work: the 5/95 rule isn't just a marketing buzzword, 5% of the population will always hold 95% of the resources. this just follows mathematically from networks of independently interacting agents in the same way that the normal/gaussian distribution (or "bell curve") follows from the Law of Large Numbers (statistics).

somebody explain that to oxfam/novib perhaps?

btw estimations say we'll reach this magic 10 billion by 2050.

--
on another note, BMW i seem to recall you wrote some large post about environmental ethics (perhaps on EB&G) got a link for that? having recently done a course about (regular) ethics, the topic kinda picks my interest.

Glad to be of service. I hope to write more, when I find another meme worth pulling a stream of conciousness out of my ass for.

well EB&G is over at http://erisbarandgrill.com
and this dolphin-thingy redirects to the same place:
http://dolphin.esosoft.net/erisbarandgrill.com

but looking a bit closer it seems to be just the hosting.. odd, that. because that webpage http://dolphin.esosoft.net/ looks ancient (in web-time), would not expect that for a hosting company :)

well at least someone is thinking of the dolphins! :)

something seems wrong about this
...very... very... wrong

FUCK the dolphins... they're trying to take over
Through me the way to the city of woe, Through me the way to everlasting pain, Through me the way among the lost.
Justice moved my maker on high.
Divine power made me, Wisdom supreme, and Primal love.
Before me nothing was but things eternal, and eternal I endure.
Abandon all hope, you who enter here.

One should never expect anything ever from a hosting company.

I think the Earth could take a hundred billion, but alot of the planet would have to look like Blade Runner or Corusant from Star Wars.

Well, Im not Herr Bhode, but I WILL say that living on a planet with that many humans and assuming that the stupidity ratio doesn't change for the better, well...It doesn't sound very fun to me.

Putting it lightly.

Your granpappy is a smart guy.
