The day I learned about PO and that it is imminent was one of my happiest day. I finally knew that the consumerism will come to an end. The cheap chineese trash won' be seen anymore in stores around here. And most probably most of those big box stores will be gone, too. Life will finally return to "normal".
And with some luck I'm here to witness it all. YEAH !!!!

Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

That is going to make for some incredibly painful times for many modern people, and I hope they don't loose controll to the point of starting resource wars and/or nuclear genocide wars.

I can feel a sense of superiority from people who look down on 'cornucopians'. As if they are less of human beings and it's fine for them to die.
Anyone who wants human beings to, again, live in balance with the earth has got it right, in my opinion. Without balance, everything will end someday.
But wouldn't it be great if the world right now, would be balanced?
I mean, sure there are billions of people who live terrible lives compared to ours, but would they rather be dead than live crappy?
I care nothing about the earth. The earth doesn't even know we are here.
The earth can't be 'polluted'.
'Polluted' just refers to livability of the earth for humans.
Everything certain people say what 'harms the earth', just means 'harms the conditions under which humans have to live'.
The earth is fine. Fine before we came, it's fine right now, and will be fine after we leave.
Taking a very long-term, geological scale view, this is a good way to put it.bl00k wrote:I care nothing about the earth. The earth doesn't even know we are here.

Anyway that statement is a paramount of man's stupidity and shortsightedness.
This view will ensure ruin of all.
Nonsense.
Definition of pollution:
undesirable state of the natural environment being contaminated with harmful substances as a consequence of human activities
It harms overall life support system, essential for humans and non-humans.
Earth will be fine, but thanks to PO and overall peak FF there is a good chance that peoples will continue inhabiting it for much longer then would be possible otherwise.
