    Worst Case Scenario: matt felix gets his way

    What matt felix and his ilk want is an apocalypse.

    Well, as I say to all my crazy Christian friends...you first! If you want to depopulate the planet, be my guest. Lead by example. Just leave me out of it.

    Anyway, as for solar, it'd be nice, but even the co-founder of Greenpeace has seen the nuclear light. Wake up and smell the thorium, people.

    --Modernity is an apocalypse of the spirit. The reality is that people simply can not be human with the level of stimulation that modernity entails. It's really that simple. That is precisely why people are so addled and seemingly unhappy in the midst so much material product. The great conceit of modernity is that we can be ANYTHING we want to be (spacemen,androids,cyborgs) and the reality is that we can not. Modernity is inherently alienating.

    Matt
