It is when you focus entirely on natural disasters with intermittent comments about various end times prophecies.

they call it fear mongering because it frightens them. fear only prevails when you allow it. i would consider brother gonz to be more of an excitement monger.

I think you're mistaken if you think you can separate humanity from the world. It's like saying I love the world but I hate oceans.


......................................
What will matter by....some dude, fucking look it up for yourself.:lol:

Ready or not, some day it will all come to an end.

There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours or days. All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten will pass to someone else.

Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance. It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed.

Your grudges, resentments, frustrations and jealousies will finally disappear. So too, your hopes, ambitions, plans and to do lists will expire.

The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away.

It won't matter where you came from or what side of the tracks you lived on at the end.

It won't matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant. Even your gender and skin color will be irrelevant.

So what will matter? How will the value of your days be measured?

What will matter is not what you bought but what you built, not what you got but what you gave.

What will matter is not your success but your significance.

What will matter is not what you learned but what you taught.

What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage, or sacrifice that enriched, empowered or encouraged others to emulate your example.

What will matter is not your competence but your character.

What will matter is not how many people you knew, but how many will feel a lasting loss when you're gone.

What will matter is not your memories but the memories that live in those who loved you.

What will matter is how long you will be remembered, by whom and for what.

Living a life that matters doesn't happen by accident. It's not a matter of circumstance but of choice.

Choose to live a life that matters.

Well, I tried to find this one study I remember reading about population growth and the limiting factors but all I could find was another article referencing another study with a similar topic. Essentially I think what you'll conclude if you really give it some thought is that just about all species consistently expand until their population is checked by disease, lack of food, or the predatory actions of another species. We just happen to be the most successful species on the planet when it comes to survival.

We're a quarter of the way through January already, which seems impossible. It was only the other day that we were preparing for the Thanksgiving-Christmas-New Year’s series of holidays, wasn’t it? But time flies, whether we like it or not.

A frequent topic in the news during the autumn and part of the winter has been that of “global warming.” This phenomenon has been blamed for everything that’s wrong with the world, from headaches to hangnails and the follies of the human race.

Nobody has mentioned, to any real extent, that the human race has doubled in number in only the last few decades. Could it be that we’re worrying about the wrong problem? Not the misuse of our resources, but overpopulation of planet Earth.

Any species, especially mammals, have a tendency if undisturbed to increase until the population becomes a destructive factor. I did quite a bit of research on this subject a few decades ago when I was working in the sciences, rather than creative writing.

I ran across a very lengthy study involving overpopulation among mammals. A major experiment in one of the research facilities had been successfully completed. Left over, after the results were in, was a large quantity of laboratory rodent food and 50 or more “lab rats,” the traditional white rats used to test the safety of new medicines, etc.

It had been decided to continue to feed these rats rather than destroy them. Mostly out of curiosity, apparently. What happens when a mammalian species runs out of not food, but space? They didn’t know what to expect, but there were certainly some surprises.

As space became more scarce, they began to fight over it, of course.

But they also began to kill the younger generation. Mostly offspring of others, but as time went on there were more and more instances of quarrels leading to deaths, cannibalism and other strange, destructive behavior. Not really recognizable as a need for space, but a result of such a need.

I don’t know how that all concluded, but it’s worrisome to compare the directions that it was taking with what’s happening worldwide right now. We do have some areas where the human population is starving, but more, I believe, with food in plenty, but wasteful use of it. Not much effort to share the excess with the starving, I’m afraid.

Historically, several times through the ages, as population became too dense, there have been catastrophic events. Sometimes war, famine, disease — leprosy, smallpox ...

Archaeologists find evidence of highly developed civilizations on nearly every continent and the ruins of their skills in the sciences, architecture, agriculture, astronomy, medicine, yes, even flight.

What happened to these advanced cultures?

It’s quite possible that enough humans developed resistance to specific diseases such as leprosy to cause the survivors to almost overlook leprosy as a major threat. The disease may have left alive only those who were born with this resistance. These produced the next generation, who carried problems of their own, of course.

The humans, like any other mammals, change with the survival of the fittest and the whole human race changes a little bit with each generation. Hopefully, to the better. Probably that’s still anybody’s guess. But Mother Nature is a strict teacher.

See you down the road.

Supposedly peek oil is one of the main limiting factors.

Pesticides, fuels, lubricants, plastics, roads, medicines, rubber; all made using oil, once it's gone there will be a massive shortage of important infrastructural products causing an even larger shortage of end-market products. 

The discovery/wide use of oil products has caused a major increase in would population, and if taken away will probably being on a large decrees in world population.
