They are wrong on maths, wrong on oil and wrong on money. "Exponential" sounds very scientific, intellectual and mathematical but it's not. They are wrong about the brilliance of "Limits to Growth", Club of Rome and such drivel. There is no limit. The sky is not the limit. We can soar exponentially into Never Never Land if we have a mind to do so and indeed are in the process of doing so and that is my plan and my plan is proceeding apace with great success. They drone on about Peak Oil as though it means anything important. Oil is so last century. They waffle on about how interest means money has to expand. That's false and Qi will show you how wrong they are. Money is expanding because those who own the money tree and the profits of control just love to dilute the currency and dish it out to themselves and their buddies/supporters. The biggest rort in human history is now underway as the bids for tarps and "rescues" reach into the $$$trillions. If the total number of dollars were made of gold and there were 10 trillion of them in single gold coins, interest payments could be made and no more gold coins would be needed, Same thing applies to purely fiat currencies. If somebody borrows $100 by way of 100 gold coins and agrees to pay back 110 gold coins at the end of the year, the way it works is to take that 100 gold coins, buy a nuclear reactor or factory to produce super-efficient photovoltaics which cost almost nothing to make so they sell like hot cakes for a pretty penny, Sell the first year's production for 10,000 gold coins, give the lender back 110 gold coins and keep the other 9,890 gold coins as profit, pay the government their protection money so they don't come and attack, and buy some fancy new car, a house etc with the remaining profits. Or, do the same again the following year, but 10 times as much. There's no need for an expanding money supply. Exponentiality has nothing to do with it. They are exponents of wayo and flim-flam. Don't believe such rubbish. Even the self-appointed Wayomaster could see that one. Mqurice
