Quote of the Day

“Spreading out may be the only thing that saves us from ourselves. I am convinced that humans need to leave Earth.”

˜Stephen Hawking

  1. Spreading Out
    If Wikipedia is correct (ahem), then Stephen Hawking has only one grandchild. Why does he think that humans need to leave Earth due to overpopulation? Why can’t we decide how many humans are enough and manage the situation? Why do we have to wait for some other factor (disease, war, environmental collapse, asteroid strike, etc.) to do the job for us?

    By the way, the best way to prevent memory loss is to actually use your brain every day! Stephen Hawking may be the best case study we have for that. (Hawking isn’t necessarily thinking correctly, but at least he is strenuously exercising his mind.)

    1. Yeah, we can spread out when
      Yeah, we can spread out when we can can afford it. The ridiculously over-leveraged global economy – ie “broke” economy – cannot even begin to ponder such expenditures while maintaining the classical sense of fiscal integrity. We are like someone who has maxed out all their credit cards and decides an expensive vacation to a faraway land in a vain attempt to escape creditors would be a wonderful solution.
