The Long descent: I feature on page 66 <preen>

[Doggy Styles]

Doesn't he have anything better to do than predicting the future? For example, I painted the floor of my shed yesterday.

That figures. He sounds like a modern-day version of William Morris, pining for a post-industrial back-to-nature future.

I suppose his vision of the future is one possibility. But a lot depends on how energy technology develops, and whether populations keep rising.

Beats pining for the fjords I suppose.

I suspect <shock, horror> that he may be correct.

Everything goes in cycles, & it may well be that the industrial cycle is drawing to a close.

It'll be interesting to see what the place looks like in 500 years.

Now where did I leave that time machine?


Makes a change from grey goo predictions.

It's quite an interesting book in its way.

Starts off with him on a hill in North Wales looking down over Caernarfon, contrasting the 5000 year old hill fort, the 900 year old castle & the town.

Zeity, can't you give us a little hint and leave the plans scribbled anonymously on a wall somewhere?

I tried that but you lot still didn't take the hint.

Leonardo tried to make the fecker into a helicopter.

I thought those nasty Romans had done for them & not in a good way.

Not long now.

To summarize: We're on the road to nowhere, off to hell in a handbasket, etc. etc. etc.

Looks like I'm stuck on this rock for even longer since you lot seem incapable of developing warp* technology.





*Warp? Don't make I larf. Can't even cope with a simple fusion generator.

Some of us are very warped, thankyou.

Here I is again: plus the splitter Icke:

Step outside the two main parties and ask the same question, and you’ll get at least thirty-one different flavors of the same claim, topped off, perhaps, by some follower of David Icke insisting that the corrupt elite that pulls all the strings is actually the cabal of evil space lizards that Ickes appears to have lifted from one too many viewings of the otherwise forgettable Eighties science fiction TV series V.

V?
