At 3pmET, it appears that Google Cloud (affecting Gmail, YouTube, SnapChat, Instagram, and Facebook among others) mysteriously (and almost unprecedently) went offline.

I agree. And then, it's home. I feel connected to it, a part of it.

It is horrendous to contemplate the defects.
Other than that its not exactly noble to completely rape and ruin a whole planet and then leave. I am of the opinion personally that we either salvage this planet or die with it.
For me this would represent matricide, self-hatred on a vast scale, and a terrific failure.Meno_ wrote:Its quite possible they could find some planet that is similar and they may overcome velocity escape. Modern science is barely 150 years old!
Let me explain:
Let us say that secret research is already anticipating the critical breakaway point of Earth's sustainability.
They will develop escape vehicles , at tremendous cost, artificial planets, like Galsctoids , which can sustain life indefinitely, that can accommodate a thousand people at one time. galactoids, built at tremendous costs, maybe trillions of dollars each, leaving earth yearly, and secretly funded.
They might set their own course, and relative velocity through time and space will accelerate their time span..
Earthly populations will shrink accordingly, as more poisonous material will decrease quality if life. More people will start to suffer immunological illnesses which will adversely effect therapy, and viruses and bacteria will over come the various therapeutic agents to which they will develop resistance ..
The Galsctoids over time can carry millions of healthy people into
voyages of new undiscovered frontiers , planets very similar, in regions yet to be conquered. People that can overcome uncertainty, will at first give immense hope to the general population , by lifting morale, by bringing back a new age of exploration, but as the criticality of earthly existence nears uninhabitable levels, -if voluntary changes of living are not equally as suddenly instituted; the multitudes will panic and struggle to get on board the planetary vessels leaving earth.
The near end will describe a state of meltdown for those who could never leave.
, where Galsctoids can no longer sustain hope of leaving , their production may become impossible, because the plummeting belief that certain groups, can never be qualified to leave., but here is an uncertainty which given enough time, may change.
Those groups will be understood to be as large as 95 percent or more of the population, however a stasis may be reached, with enough people leaving and the rest learning to conserve discourses, that the equation may change to suit indefinite survival mode.
And a turn around, could be arrived at, where subterranean cultures will manage a new sub marginal population, as long as they autonomously could suddenly understand new requirements to change life forms, in order to adept to increased levels of conserving the environmental conditions at that time.
It is inconceivable that such progress can not evolve, and with the overall doubling of knowledge every year or so the odds for such to happen may increase , as the unlikelyhood of it decrease conversely.
Once inter galactic escape is achieved, those aboard the galactic ships will experience a vast change in temporal marking, a year up there could eventually approach total near absolute earthly demarcations of time.
They in fact could return to a time prior to when they left, or return exactly just a few years after leaving, unnoticed, that they actuallt could have spent hundreds or thousands or even millions future earthly years while away.
Calibration of temporal return will be so difficult, however, that when current civilisations presume to notice returnees, they may be perceived as alien spaceships.
Perhaps this stage has already been passed, and our awareness of it may already be known to some researchers.
Jules Verne was quite remarkable for his time, and the view described above is not that much astounding, given the framinf of relative reference.
evolution or whom or whatever created social mammals, and we are not run by the simple heuristic, survival of the fittest, which isn't quite Darwinian anyway. It's more survival of the suited, the ones who fit the ecosystem, and not necessarily the most suited, just suited enough. And we social mammals, perhaps others, perhaps even trees, but we love not just each other but the places we are inherently connected to. People who don't care about their mother are welcome to leave, as long as the process of leaving doesn't damage us.Meno_ wrote:Why would it? Please explain!
Do Going I along with evolutionary theory , along the lines of Darwin? Is the idea od the survival of the fittest, not applicable here as postulated ?
If so, at least logically, feasibility is not ruled out. Or is it?

Capitalism is not allowing the most interesting creatures to thrive. In fact it benefits those who destroy everything, even for themselves. It's like severely damaged mammals get to run things over those who are not so damaged. But their damage gives them an edge. They might as well be viruses.Without demonizing Capitalism, it fits properly as a shoe how the one view competes with the other.

They're not the fittest. You think Trump is the fittest? He'll be on those rockets leaving behind radioactive waste and a messed up planet if he has his way.Meno_ wrote:Karpel Tunnel wrote:Yup.Meno_ wrote:" like severely damaged mammals get to run things over those who are not so damaged.

Not quite, They may not be the most attractive.
