You misunderstood the journey to death. That's maelstrom death in which large proportions of people die. I gave a few examples from just last century. We can go an order of magnitude greater now as the population is not 1 or 2 billion but 7 billion and our life support systems are not farms out the front door. We're living in a globally integrated machine dependent on wireless and wired Cyberspace. 100 years ago the localized carnage in WWI had little effect on places only kilometres away. Now a hefty solar flare would put paid to a LOT. A few mines can shut the straits of Hormuz and the lifeline to global production. Systems are increasingly integrated and globally dependent. But people can reduce their chances of being killed by adopting VVV. Even in maelstroms death is not random. TJ explained how his good father was protected by villagers against the rampaging Red Guard evil doers. Qualcomm and China figure hugely in this. Qualcomm created and enabled out of thin air the biggest thing not just since the industrial revolution began, not just since the end of the last glaciation, but all of that combined and bigger than the invention of not just sexual reproduction but DNA itself. We have to go back to the invention of the four forces of the apocalypse to see the scale of invention by Qualcomm. China adds 1.3 billion extra people to the gene pool and propulsion system so that's a big deal too. We are much more than dopey naked hippies conducting ourselves well and treating others properly. Being nice is a necessary but not sufficient condition. Unfortunately, the proportion of people who don't have envy and don't demand opm and don't want to boss other people around is only about 20%. Most people are like chimps. VVV and the seven deadly sins are foreign concepts. But the eugenics and winnowing process continues apace and is going well. Compare now with 10 years ago, 100 years ago, 1000 years ago, 10,000 years ago and 100,000 years ago. It's amazing. Only 100 years ago aircraft were funny little contraptions carrying 1 person over trenches in WWI. Now we can fly in an A380 10 km high at 1000 km per hour for 10,000 km for over 10 hours in sumptuous comfort and safety. A letter posted in London in 1856 when my ancestors sailed to Norfolk Island took weeks to get there so replies were not expected for months. Now we WhatsApp with video and soon to be high definition 3D reality instantly at zero cost. There was the Alexandria library. Now there's Google, Bing, DuckDuck stupendously vast knowledge available anywhere at no cost instantly. We have gone exponentially parabolic to asymptotically hyperbolic hyperbole. But there only 10 types of people who understand binary Cyberspace = those who understand that digital mathematical language and those who don't. Mqurice
