And what percentage of the earth's surface do you think those 300 cities cover? I don't know the exact figure but its very small. http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/image/0011/earthlights_dmsp_big.jpg The whole point of the photo , is to show exactly just how maximized the human diaspora really is . How much of the earth's surface do those 300 and other cities cover ? Well , we have settled already every conceivable place you can imagine, there's nothing left , the rivers have been tapped to their full capcity... You are living either in a " dream "world ...or Las Vegas. The capacity of the earth isn't how many people we can fit on the earth (if it was then it would be at least a trillion) but how much our economy can support" Do you really that our economy today is supporting even the present numbers ? If you really belive in that, then I do have some acreage on Mars I would like to sell you . The "Bubble" just burst my friend , and there are many more surprises around the bend. I'll revisit this issue of technology being the fix-all later in the year... I think you and your " long " portfolio are both in for a rude awakening. <<The capacity of the earth isn't how many people we can fit on the earth (if it was then it would be at least a trillion) but how much our economy can support. >> One Trillion ? Now that's a nice round number....
