There's an ounce of truth in that... So what's the solution?

Make everyone smarter overnight?!
I guess there is no solution, cause by the time everyone will agree on one, some compromise as always, it will be too late. And all this because we think we are superior and smarter than everyone.

Ah, but what happens to intelligent species? Species that have Playstation. We just don't know.

Get fat from sitting on a sofa, eating and drinking crap. Will die of heart attack or diabetes long before reaching the age of their grandparents.

So basically, ioan, you're saying that we're screwed and there's nothing that can be done about it? You're a cheery fellow, aren't you..

How do you know we all are human beings? We speak a human language and can type and sometimes we behave like, well, human beings, but is this a proof strong enough?

I was talking to the humans here , Rudy . They know who they are .

It's kind of irrelevent , though , as , if they can speak and type , they can likely understand the economics of solar power .

What a poor choice he made for his comparrisson. If humans develop complete resistanced to Antibiotics, millions will die each year, no a couple of hundred through terrorism.

You mean if bacteria develop resistance to antibiotics, cause luckily we are rather resistant.
I do agree with you that the medic is downplaying the risks of antibiotics resistance, immensely.

We 'developed' so much that some of the most usual bacteria could kill us, something that wouldn't have happened 30 years ago when humans used to have an immune system capable of fighting most diseases on its own.

Eh? What previous cases? Surely we have gotten further than any other animal ever on Earth, and have to make it up as we go along?

The dinosaurs didn't even have Playstation 2, not to mention Playstation 3.

Or did you mean previous, now gone, human civilizations?

We got to the point where we are one big civilization, so the demise of it will be more or less equal demise of the mankind, minus a few undiscovered tribes in the Amazon region.

I don't think like this and honestly I'm not the sort of Uriah Heep.....

We, as of those living at this time on Earth, might not be screwed but we are for sure screwing the coming generations, and I am not talking about the 20 year old blonde neighbor student. And for what? Bloody money.

I call myself a realist, and if there is one thing I learned in my short life is that there are way to many idiots living on Earth, that 80-20 % theory can be applied imho.

You're one of few.
