Stanford researcher says sixth mass extinction is here

the last mass extinction was 65 million years ago and wiped out the dinosaurs.

Whatever changes the climate may experience, the consequences will pale into insignificance compared to the catastrophe resulting from massive unrestrained population growth in the developing world. Open borders will make this our problem too.

If we could somehow tweak it to just wipe out the stupid people.

So we're losing most of the planet there... DOPE! Anyone ever see this? Fuckin' hilarious, but seems we're heading in that direction.



"As the 21st century began, human evolution was at a turning point. Natural selection, the process by which the strongest, the smartest, the fastest, reproduced in greater numbers than the rest, a process which had once favored the noblest traits of man, now began to favor different traits. Most science fiction of the day predicted a future that was more civilized and more intelligent. But as time went on, things seemed to be heading in the opposite direction. A dumbing down. How did this happen? Evolution does not necessarily reward intelligence. With no natural predators to thin the herd, it began to simply reward those who reproduced the most, and left the intelligent to become an endangered species."
