Two Aspects of a Maturing Society

The human leadership has a strong desire to remain juvenile and adolescent.  There is fun and excitement associated with not taking responsibility as adults.  But reality is unforgiving: much of the world has reached full natural growth or development through excessive plundering of Earth's nonrenewable resources---the fossil fuel reserve.  We have only one option left, i.e., to use ripened judgement and cease to waste fossil fuel on the pretense that a substitute can be found via new technology.

A maturing civilization must correct two major abusive behavior of the 21st Century.
   (1)  To seek economic growth when it is clearly obvious that it is time to halt and cut back on all aspects of economic activities (lifestyle and population count).
   (2)  To recognize the death of a person as the natural ending of every human life.  The practice of health care for humans of all description regardless of the actual circumstances of each individual case must cease.

In future blogs I will expand and discuss the means for correcting the blundering paths taken by mankind.

Human Response to FF Gift--an Epochal Event

My last blog entry(May 1st) explained the reason why HCE is in a crisis state.  The successful people are just so happy and busy enjoying life that they don't want to be bothered with facing up to the truth.  But truth and reality will not disappear.  Our civilization is maturing, and drastic changes in our behavior must come to pass.  To understand it, the human race must recognize that the discovery and rapid consuming of fossil fuel is an epochal event.  This event stands in importance alongside such event as the modification of planet Earth's atmospherical mix suitable for life and combustion of power supply machinery.

In my book, I described this modification project  (which depended on the Creator's invention of photosynthesis with energy from a weak sunlight) as requiring at least 700 million years.  By comparison, the oil reserve of the world is down by 50% since its first discovery in 1859, in a mere 150 years.  This rapid rate of consumption makes the event epochal because this gift of God is a one-time only present---there is no repeat offer from here to eternity; and it did require epochal time for its accumulation.  Mankind should be far more careful in examining how we use it.

Let's take a break and I'll continue in another day...
