I had some trouble coming up with a post today that would not make you think that I’m nuttier than I am. I watched this show on the discovery channel down here and was pretty shook up afterwards. It was about all these different end of the human race scenarios. The real scary part is some have begun already and the rest except for the possible destruction by aliens are all very probable. In other words there is not a lot of hope for the human race to last more than a hundred years. Now when you all stop laughing lets take a look shall we. First up is one of my all time favorites there are too many dam people on the planet and theres no way as the rate of growing population continues for us to be able to feed everyone. Several movies come to light like Solient green and others that depict populations committing government ordered suicide. Not a pleasant picture but one that ill happen if we don’t control population growth. I listed that one first because it sort of dictates all the others like Peak Oil production and our use of oil for just about everything besides fuel for cars. I could write pages on this but I suggest you look it up for your selves. War is one that everybody talks about but not near the top of the list. But a by product of a nuclear explosion or accident is something called an EMP (Electric Magnetic Pulse) which would destroy anything from the smallest toy to the largest electrical source and send the world back to the dark ages. Another is Artificial intelligence which you’ve all heard me talk about before. When you create a artificial brain based on pure logic sooner rather than later as it gains the ability to think and reason it will decide that human are the greatest danger to the continued existence the Planet. Now this is not some crazy dream of mine as Steven Hawkins believed this and before he died called AI the greatest threat to mankind. Well most of you will laugh all this off some will build bunkers which by the way will only prolong the inevitable and I for one will not be around to see it not that I want to. All these are possible and the really scary thing probable. So at this point we will just say this is Flounder and Fats saying CIAO from Medellin Colombia and GOOD LUCK.
