In my post to Sam on July 26th 2005, I concluded that the key issue for all
of us on this planet is rationally deciding what elements from all the major
cultures we would like to use to improve our quality of life in the future.
Like Bill Hicks and Robert Pirsig, I think human population is going to be
an increasingly important issue regarding our quality of life. Our world
has only finite resources and a long way before it’s put to the limit I can
see (as found in Africa already) the general quality of life deteriorating
severely.
I am also highly concerned with an increasing human population about its
effect on the natural world e.g. the diversity of the plant and animal
kingdoms, the beauty of natural environment, the increase of
desertification, the reduction of rain forest and the melting of the polar
areas. In short, I think the human population on this world has to
dramatically decrease (rather than increase as the trend typically has been)
and think that poverty and ignorance are major factors underlying this
problem.
What do other people think about this issue?
Best wishes,
Anthony.
