Population has entered a logarithmic phase of growth. On a planet of finite resources, continued population growth is unsustainable, To pretend that we can somehow accommodate ever-growing numbers, no matter how high they rise, is collective idiocy.
In 2011, The UK think tank Foresight, in global future of food and agriculture , claimed we had reached the limit of land available for arable use. The report was based on input from 400 experts across the world and was two years in preparation.<br><br>
Farming the sea, or what some call mariculture is the only rational answer other than greening the desert instead of Mars (or at the same time). It helps solve the crisis in mental ill health and shrinking intelligence and also contributes to the battle against global warming and oceanic acidification.
At the beginning of the 20th century, measurements of IQ increased over several decades. There is now deeply worrying evidence of a decline in IQ since 1950.Mental retardation is associated with a child with an IQ between 70 and 90. If the trend continues, then by 2080 between a third and a half of the world’s population will be borderline mentally retarded.
Quote from the new book by Michael Crawford and David Marsh (The Brain Under Siege – out September 2021)
“The rise in mental ill-health and shrinking intelligence is the greatest threat to the sustainability of humanity, ever. It is a graver threat to survival than global warming, as critical as that is. The two together unchecked, lead to the sixth extinction in the middle of the next century. It is Nature's way of testing her evolutionary products that come to dominance and then seeing to their end. The five main extinctions of the past have been environmentally triggered, one way or another. This coming one is rather unique: it is self-inflicted. It is a form of environmental destruction with no thought for the needs to support the very specific nutrition of the brain which made us human in the first place. It is a form of self-inflicted lobotomy.”
