Our world will not end for millions of years (never).
it will just grind on the same way it has been doing,
more people
more people
more people.

About Me
- vercingetorix
- Vercingetorix is an Ivy League graduate working in lower Manhattan and living in Brooklyn. He or She is a confirmed yuppy, and often feels that those of the working class stare at him or her with resentment. He or She is currently working at his or her 4th office job since graduating college 3 years ago, and says that the only way to get a decent raise anymore is to switch jobs as often as possible. After all, says Vercingetorix, you're only there to make $ and get cheap health benefits so company loyalty can only get in your way.

hey now... i never thought that it wouldn't be sustainable, just... tight.
and i still think it'll keep increasing. 2 kids per couple, the world can't be that lame.
well, maybe we should just think of 9 billion as the probable plateau of the *earth*-based population. in the long run, we've rly got to start extraterrestrial population centers (dynamic geography!), if for no other reason than species insurance - I'd hate to think that just b/c the earth was destroyed by a comet or something that that would be the end of all humans.
now that's what i'm talking about--once we have a space colony that is capable of harvesting materials (metal from asteroids coralled with space ships or whatever, more importantly, water or chemical compounds to make water) and then making a new space colony (like in a huge "dry" dock or else with dudes in spacesuits with welders floating around the giant scaffolding) there really won't be any stopping us.
then again, just imagine if the earth's oceans wind up getting carted up to outer space desalinization plants to serve the needs of the superior space colony population...
and then we start building on the ocean bed...
PLAGUE!
