Beyond “Fermi’s Paradox” II: Questioning the Hart-Tipler Conjecture

That is opinion, not fact.

[attiladhun2]

Its not an opinion that there will be crop failures as world temps drop. It is not an opinion that human beings are twisted and the elites who run business, politics, finance, etc. are monumentally ignorant fools, and that the current crop of scientists are little more than lick-spittle bureaucrats.

Now you might believe everything is going to be hunky-dory, that we are going to be drinking free bubble-up and eating rainbow stew, but you are doing yourself, and more importantly, your loved ones a disservice. The world is headed for long-term economic and social collapse for more reasons that I have time to go into now. A least be open to the fact that the proverbial doo-doo is about to hit the fan, and there is probable no remedy for it.

[Louis Foxwell]

What is going to hit the fan is leftist tyranny. All the problems you describe are the product of institutional corruption. That will end shortly. The mad children have been given their best chance to take over and they have utterly destroyed themselves. Wait and see what hits the fan.

I’ve been waiting and it hasn’t happened yet because it won’t happen. We are being overrun with foreigners who don’t give a tinker’s damn about freedom, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights or anything else but open borders, EBT cards, and other government “freebies.” They out-number and out-vote the patriots. When it all comes apart, they will form the nucleus of an incompetent and oppressive one-party state, which will be hard-pressed to maintain even a sliding standard of living. Such a regime will need only dole out a few loaves of bread and a few lumps of coal every month to keep their constituents content. I have serious doubt such a regime will have even the inclination to fund vast space exploration projects.

[Louis Foxwell]

I have no interest in living in your world.

[attiladhun2]

That’s obvious. What are you going to do when this whole thing collapses in on itself? Retreat to Roddenberryland and commune with Spock?!

[Louis Foxwell]

Not everything will collapse. There remains the authority of the Lord who reigns forever.
