Interesting post, Greger !!

We've gained a lot in our mastery of our environment over the past 400+ years ! Along the way we've discovered/invented ways to do far more with much less in terms of materials and energy - and our impact upon our environment. But technical entropy is approaching. Within 100 years, (much sooner if the world's luddites get their way), we'll be on the downside of the energy/technology/knowledge curve, I fear. A downside where our society's "excess wealth" - essential for scientific exploration and growth - is consummed merely keeping "meat" alive. >Mech


P.S. Wanna get a definition of "meat" ? Ask any EMT ! They're that segment of society too arrogant/stupid/self-centered to acknowledge the world - and its machines - don't find them "irreplaceable".
