| Quote (stevestory @ Mar. 02 2013,13:31) | I had an old physics professor who thought civilization was a new and fairly brief phase before we went back to being subsistence farmers/hunters. I thought it was an amusing quirk.
Now, the more I read about climate change and Peak Oil, the less amusing I find it.
This might be the answer to the fermi paradox--technological civilizations wreck themselves before they get anywhere else. |
And civilization shall not rise again as we shall have used up all the easily accessible carbon fuels and metals.
