Nekas jau tā īpaši kopš 1958tā nav mainījies. Problēmas tās pašas.
Huxley "Brave new world revisited" rakstīja:
"What is to be done? Obviously we must, with all possible speed, reduce the birth rate to the point where it does not exceed the death rate. At the same time we must, with all possible speed, increase food production, we must institute and implement a world-wide policy for conserving our soils and our forests, we must develop practical substitutes, preferably less dangerous and less rapidly exhaustible than uranium, for our present fuels; and, while husbanding our dwindling resources of easily available minerals, we must work out new and not too costly methods for extracting these minerals from ever poorer and poorer ores — the poorest ore of all being sea water. But all this, needless to say, is almost infinitely easier said than done. "
Huxley būtu šausmās, ka kopš viņa nāves (1963) pasaules iedzīvotāju skaits ir dubultojies.
(un arī
"Cannabis sativa is a less innocuous drug — though not nearly so harmful as the sensation-mongers would have us believe. The Medical Committee, appointed in 1944 by the Mayor of New York to investigate the problem of marihuana, came to the conclusion, after careful investigation, that Cannabis sativa is not a serious menace to society, or even to those who indulge in it. It is merely a nuisance.")

nevajag ieslīgt galējībās :)

Reply | Parent | ThreadHakslijs rakta, ka sākot ar 20. gs. cilvēku sāka kļūt tā kā par daudz.

Reply | Parent | ThreadResursa deficīta pazīme ir tā nevienlīdzīga sadale - kādam ir, bet kādam nav. Nevienlīdzīga resursu sadale pastāv kopš neolīta revolūcijas. Tātad, jāatgriežas akmens laikmetā. Btw, tad cilvēku skaits bija tiešām neliels.
Tā ir pazīme, nevis definīcija. šajā gadījumā tiek uzskatīts, ka resursi kļūst patiešām nepietiekami, nevis sliktāk sadalīti, un agrozeme tiek noplacināta, pārtika zemākas kvalitātes utt.
Reply | Parent | Threadah, un vēl par lielpilsētām viņš rakstīja:
"Over-population and over-organization have produced the modern metropolis, in which a fully human life of multiple personal relationships has become almost impossible. Therefore, if you wish to avoid the spiritual impoverishment of individuals and whole societies, leave the metropolis and revive the small country community, or alternately humanize the metropolis by creating within its network of mechanical organization the urban equivalents of small country communities, in which individuals can meet and cooperate as complete persons, not as the mere embodiments of specialized functions" :))))
Un vēl to, ka tā laika jaunatnei bija diezgan vienaldzīga brīvība.
"recent public opinion polls have revealed that an actual majority of young people in their teens, the voters of tomorrow, have no faith in democratic institutions, see no objection to the censorship of unpopular ideas, do not believe that government of the people by the people is possible and would be perfectly content, if they can continue to live in the style to which the boom has accustomed them, to be ruled, from above, by an oligarchy of assorted experts"
Man šķiet, ka viņš nekad nav dzīvoklis mazpilsētā vai laukos, un piedzīvojis, kā garlaikotie līdzpilsoņi trin mēles ap viņa "daudzajām personiskajām attiecībām".
