I used to argue with my professor that it didn't make any sense if depopulation was the goal, why we were worried about people dying from aids and other diseases in Africa. Its an oxymoron. If evolution and survival of the fitest (in the case these days, the richest), then why care what happens to people.
In reality there is a lot of space still, we pay farmers not to grow food, we allow corporate conglomerates to go into an underdeveloped area that is fine the with doing the things they have for centruries, and rape its natural splendor by paying off a few at the top, or just taking it.
I think what is unsustainable is corporate theivery. Someone was talking about slave labor the other day. And made a point in saying that we are just as enslaved... to debt, taxes, and ultimately working for the very corporations we despise.. so what is the definition of enslavement?
I'm not sure if its an ultimate disgusting design to make 1984 real, or whether its just corporate bottom line b.s. that allows things like the FDA to overlook the many chemicals put into our foods that make us sick, or people deciding that adding a carbon tax to fix global warming will do anything but add money to someone else's back pocket...when true fixes come with better infrastructure within cities and real technology on energy that won't harm our environment (and I don't mean with nuc power either...that's a huge environmental waste that is more disgusting than coal powered plants). I could go on all day with the crap that goes on. Sometimes it looks rather rigged, but then there is a bottom line. Corporations are supposed to make money. It is illegal to waste stock holders money---so I'm not sure how corporate sallaries have become so out of whack. I think some stock holders need to investigate their rights, and sue the shit out of these big wigs who think cutting pensions are cost cutting, while CEO's have exuberant sallaries and perks.
