Can we understand all those slow processes around us? Can we react to global problems before it's too late? Is it too late?

There will be good days and there will be bad days. Whatever we do in this century (create or fail to create something new and more sustainable), we shall keep on building and destroying, killing and regenerating, investing short-term and long term. We need a more flexible global society, a society that can react on natural and artificial climate changes and on technological and social experiments. Our global population must be smaller.

Our natural environment doesn't understand the term "human rights". But it does understand the term "herd behaviour". When one says that a mother should choose to have as many children as she wants/can raise, one must presume that she is a better expert than scientists and politicians who failed in Copenhagen (pathetically nicknamed for that occasion Hopenhagen).

The media fill our heads with claims that e.g. Europe (Serbia, you name it) has an old population. The term used in Serbia (I'm not sure about other countries) for old population is "the white plague". We are collectively focused on "problems" that will not look like problems in the future. Some of them will even look like (used or not) parts of the solution.

There will be less people in 2110 than in 2010. It's easier for me to understand this fact than that the Earth is round. Just bear in mind national economies, limited resources (with peak oil breathing behind our backs) and climate changes, ignore your herd and inborn optimism that helps you to wake up in the morning, and the conclusion is here.

Is it reasonable to listen to Stephen Hawking to plan moving to other planets (search stephen hawking population and you'll find web-pages about it)? Can we increase the chances for survival on this planet? What must be done and how?

Will our offspring laugh at our stupidity and belief that economy and population can grow forever? Are we more rational and reasonable than those who thought that the world is flat? We know its shape and size, but still ignore it. If we don't do what must be done, people after us will treat us as the most sadistic and ignorant generation in human history and definitely won't laugh.

Does an average mother understand what will happen with her child(ren) after peak oil (and other peaks) and climate change? Can she take into account the biggest changes ever during a lifetime? I can't. Can you?

According to the UN's projections, the global population will reach 10 billion before the year 2100. My bet is that it will be, voluntarily or not, lower than today.

So, China is about to become the global economic leader. What does that mean? It means that China is supposed soon to follow the American example of attacking Vietnam and other sovereign countries and killing of millions of people and torturing those whose biography or religious belief is bad. America (and any empire since the beginning of civilization) has set an ugly role model of a competition without rules in which everyone might lose. This burden is too heavy for thinking and working on sustainability.
