So, basically, we're the poor white trash of the universe.

Just sitting around in the dingy trailer park that is the Solar system, our orbit strewn with broken down old spacecraft and satellites that haven't worked in years, while we stuff ourselves with fattening unnutritious food and watch sports on the idiotbox. Then one day the universes fire marshall or health inspector condemns our property and schedules it for demolition. Makes sense to me. In the mean time, if you're going out, I need lottery tickets, smokes and beer....

It's still debatable whether we've abandoned the evolutionary ladder.

You'll welcome to debate that with a biologist, it's not my specialty or interest

I've seen a lot of mainstream biologists suggest human evolution may be mostly mental now.

Neither of us are biologists though and it's not really relveant anyway

I'm not ignoring it, just wondering why over half the planet ignores it and lives in misery.

"It's a stability thing, not a Western greed thing" seemed to encapsulate your comments.

we should abdon the myth of the evolutionary ladder

Probably; as discussed in Brams thread it should never be seen as predictive, let alone prophetic.

That's an interesting point about the NEED for fossil fuels as a stepping stone to advanced culture.

There's industrialization and then there's industrialization.

If you were more familiar with engineering you'd not say something like that

I dispute that industrialization is primarily about non-agricultural production.

I'm not above that, but the dictionary definitions I've found are disappointingly self-referential.

That tends to be the case, it is a kinda vague term outside of specific context

Tends to moot that part of the debate though.

Think it's better to ignore "reporters on a slow news day," to be honest *NM*
