    Let’s face it, overall we’re not much more conscious than the cyanobacteria that caused the oxygen catestrophe.

      First, thank you for giving me something new to research, second, I can’t help but be reminded of the floating mansions that the Roman elite and Rich had just before the fall of Rome…

      This all makes me wonder if we should do another “limits to growth” study.

      Yeah but cyanobacteria didn’t have massive entertainment cities to transport self-centered jackasses and their hotels thousands of miles by burning bunker fuel.
