"the coming centuries of resource constraints."

LOL. There are no such. Mostly because there won't be "coming centuries of humanity." Humanity as such ends in this century, one way or the other. Either X billion die - so there are no resource constraints - or X billion are converted to another form for whom resource constraints are irrelevant because they don't need or consume them in the same manner (assuming resource constraints as such actually exist, which again is a solvable technological problem.)

"Somehow, someway that message must transcend the choir reading these words"

Good luck with that. Or as I like to say:

Thanks for providing your cynicism. It's a much needed foil for the message I choose to promote.

Yup. Got decades of experience and a lot of reading to back it up, too. Not to mention a reasoned philosophy which is what my Substack is all about and which comes to those conclusions. It ain't just being ornery.

Some of my responses, especially about the Palestinian issue, are actually notes to myself to be considered for inclusion in my own assessment of the situation, which I'm gathering information for and will hopefully publish in due time. I still have to finish my "Moves and TV Shows" series, too.
