Can the world survive without Staten Island? Rome could not have survived without the port of Ostia, but Ostia is now dry land. Rome has a bigger population now than it did then.
Saint Augustine was Bishop of Hippo. If you want to visit the Saint’s old diocese, take scuba gear.
Global Warming documentaries shout that where tens of millions of people live is going to be underwater in fifty or a hundred years. My first reaction is that, sometime in the next decades, they’ll have to move.
For half a century enormous efforts were made to end America’s dependence on Southeast Asian rubber plantation. As I said, Henry Ford lost tens of millions of gold-exchangeable currency trying to set up rubber plantations in Brazil. His was only one of these prescient attempts.
Then all the Asian rubber was cut off in World War II and America had a one or two year crisis and developed synthetic rubber.
The best thing that ever happened to German ECONOMY was the Urban Renewal of World War II.
The most destruction thing in our world is the Problems that are used by “intellectuals” to justify more Programs. A real crisis, on the other hand, ends up being good for a white economy.

Thank you Bob for all my ego your Mantra thinking philosophy has put my Peak Oil ramblings in a proper perspective. If not for you and for example let us say your site was a newsclipping site I would be rambling on about what the academics are predicting for a post peak oil era. Mantra thinking is a meat cleaver to intellectual claptrap.

The debate over global warming is another one of those things that is just emblematic of the division in the world today.
While most whites do not understand science, and included in this are many white “scientists”, I have yet to meet nonwhites who were very capable of apprehending what was truly important in science.
This gets us back to “the Moot”, to the notion that unless your data is of a great enough resolution to provide for true visibility, you have to accept that answers you seek simply aren’t available, that it hasn’t been decided.
We can say, for example, that it is absurd to believe that human activity can influence the overall global climate, as the earth is really subsumed under the sun with its enormous energy and the sun’s influence trumps everything.
A data set of sufficient resolution could solve that issue, but such a data set is not really proven to exist (although many claim it does).
Nonwhites and most whites never get how easily it is to be completely fooled by empirical observation. Science itself is the perfect minefield for the proposition that any plausible lie will do, especially when you are desperate for an answer.
It is far easier to become a Wordist that most realize and you can easily become a Wordist without knowing it. This is true even for those highly skilled in the techniques of high-resolution observation, which is why you don’t want a medical doctor with a low IQ (which most of them suffer from).
Of all the nonwhites, blacks are the most clueless about this. I don’t care how educated the black person is. I have never met or known of a black person who has the slightest inkling of what real science is. Not the slightest.
The division between what we whites really are and what most nonwhites really are is truly enormous.
We can accept that we share “humanity”, but that statement says nothing about meaningful facts, about the enormous gulf between us. This is how nature functions and today we are under the influence of a worldwide governmentally established religion that is in denial of this.
That religion cannot stand.

I think one reason that governmentally established religion, has flourished and spread so well these past 50yrs or more, is that it has seemed so Christian. If it had appeared to be like anything else, it would never have done so well. It’s like the proverb that says, “there is a way that SEEMS right and the end is destruction.”

Of course your argument also shows why “Marxism” or whatever it’s current variant won’t go away. In all cases the story is that we as “humans” need the educated to save us from disaster.
As an aside, while the destruction of old Germany can be viewed as one giant urban renewal program,
I, as an anglophobe would say that it’s unfortunate that London and Paris weren’t also leveled so as to increase their marginal utility in the modern world.
As far as the “Global Warming” crowd, see my first sentence.
Yessir, we always need some smart folks to warn us about danger. For a price, of course.
So lets not have children.
After all, peak oil means that we will soon all run out of energy.
And global warming? Oh my gosh!!!
New York may be inundated. Yes…INUNDATED.
Meanwhile, all the non-whites could care less.
When you want to ponder non-white environmentalism, think Haiti.
