Hello to all,
Here is some 'interesting' information, which I would like all to
consider,the effect of, on the MoQ, either directly, or indirectly. This
following information, is relative, not only because we are all human, but
also, in terms of SQ-DQ thoughts and social patterns of behaviour. I think
this shows, that the propensity towards DQ is increasing, at a very, very,
high rate. But, it is the actual physical static qualities, and static
social patterns of the past which are giving rise to awareness, after DQ
steps in (at some point)
.
If we keep looking at the past (SQ-history, patterns) than you can see
nothing that is truly new. Looking at patterns, you can only see patterns,
as opposed to the common view of "learning from our mistakes" by
relentlessly pouring over historical details.
This is not to say that I oppose learning Plato, Confucius, or any other
philosopher, thinker, spiritualist, mystic, or such. But, often we look at
the past, and think of it as analagous to our society. This doesn't really
do any 'justice' as to what I'm really trying to say here, but I hope that
you will interpret what I have said better than I can say it.
---------------------------------------------
Grain Production: "It's already decreasing in many large countries.
Pakistan's grain output stopped growing in 1981 at 186 kilograms per person,
less than one-quarter the amount consumed by the average American.
Fresh Water: In 2050, 1 billion people will face complete water scarcity
Biodiversity: Five of the world's six most biologically rich countries will
lose at least three-quarters of their habitat.
Climate change: The 15 warmest years on record, have all occurred since
1979.
Fish stocks: Global fish production per person has been dropping since
1988. Of the 15 major oceanic fisheries, 11 are in decline.
Jobs: by 2050, The world will need to create 1.9 billion jobs , all of them
in developing countries, just to maintain current levels of unemployment.
More people competing for fewer jobs will deflate wages, especially in
low-skilled areas; this, in turn, will reduce their ability to buy
Cropland: Per person, there is less than half the amount of land under
grain cultivation than in 1950.
Forests: If the developing world uses paper at the current rate of
industrial countries, the world's paper production must grow eight-fold.
Housing: Africas housing needs will triple, within the next 40 years.
Energy: Energy usage will increase by 361 per cent in Asia, by 2050
Urbanization: In 2050 The urban population will be 6.5 billion more than
the current population of the entire world.
Education: Africa's school-aged population will grow by a projected 75 per
cent.
Waste Half the people in developing counties do not have access to basic
sanitation. Their cities will add three billion people.
Meat Production: In 2050, Half of the world's grain production will be
required for animal feed if the currnt growth of meat consumption continues.
Income: Just to cover population growth, and maintain current incomes, the
global economy must expand from 29-trillion US dollards, to over
47-trillion, by 2050.

Now, whether you consider this to be junk science or not, that is your
choice. They do not confirm any political agendas, but are purely
objective. If you choose to willfully ignore these statistics, than it is
your perrogative to work against the overall progress of humanity,and
towards Quality in all its practical, and impractical aspects.
Sincerely,
Matthew Poot
