Olduvai Theory

Richard C. Duncan posts an economic theory paper that has some very serious implications. Do not be scared of the title or the length - there is some good constructive science in the thesis as proposed. I am not certain i buy all the assumptions, but i'll grant the theory those proofs are articulated with similar eloquence in other dimensions. The religious iconography of several culture points to key happenings at 2012 - and the range of the error bars when dealing with units of years has some significance here. Plausible is a good term.

This is not the end of the world - just the end of the world as we know it. Just a hypothetical scenario. Scary though. Jomama's got the Donkey and I got de Goat - Sunni and her Snakes - anyone else gonna save a working pet for any reason? Tip from GM who claims all wildlife as his domain, and i trust GM scientifically.

I expect Empire to crash long before
oil supplies do, making oil moot with plenty left in ground.

Who will have the capital to
undertake production after the
oil states have pissed their oil
away in "safe" drilling and
crap currencies? At that point,
who will care?

On another matter...kinda...

Why not go for a bigger goat to
pull that wooden plow for you?

This goat's a milker - herding time coming soon, to a theatre near you. I could trade an offspring for a borer or an ox, if i wish to be gored. or i could use no-till farming - depends - no water shortage here, unless the earth moves under our feet.
