OK. Bryan here is what it says:.... | |
John,
Thanks for the info - v/interesting reading.
It makes me quite depressed when I think about the state of the world and what we are all doing to it.
Did you do the "bacteria culture in a petri dish" experiment at school? You watch the bacteria expand and grow in its limited environment and eventually die off having consumed everything whilst being poisoned by its own waste.
Well, that's how I remember it. Of course, the Earth, whilst being a limited environment, has the facility to enable regrowth of resources if they are not depleted too far, it is still a depressing analogy to me.
It is easy to imagine that outbreaks of disease etc are a design safety feature to stop excessive expansion of a species. By luck or by design I wonder?
Oh well, I'll just go and slit my wrists now. Actually, I think I will leave it until Monday as it is weekend and there is beer to be consumed first.
Rgds
Bryan
