So what do you oil dependant people think about this?

[Jackal1]

That's just priceless!

They are actually coming at a very high price.

33 didn't sell this very well.

So far it isn't political. Its about exponential growth and what numbers like 7% growth a year really mean if you look at the numbers.

It looks at some very interesting subjects and the math behind them. Some is shocking at times.

I would say its worth the time, if you don't mind listening to a fairly dry old guy, but he is funny at times.

I will watch the film.  I'm just telling you that you're a bad salesman.

"A political film with Pure Facts?  GASP!  I've never seen that before!  Nor have I ever seen an ivory tower elite speaking about something outside of his area of expertise to blatantly malleable communistic youth!  This will enlighten me!"

The way you are talking, I'm sure it will, but only if you allow it. The ball is yours, now what to do with it is up to you.

I'm not into sales ok. Salesmen are just like politicians, can't stand them.

LOl..it is a pretty funny vid.. I commented on it in the climate thread..  exponentialism is what gave us "the population bomb" that was gonna have us shoulder to shoulder by the year 2000...


It gave us the movie soylent green and.. if you do the math.. the planet would be covered 3 feet deep in ants by now. 

by his logic..   50 years from now.. my house will use more electricity than all the electricity produced by man so far.

We would have already run out of everything by now according to him if you would simply pick one point in history and go all exponential on some product.

If you took the growth of the buggy whip industry for instance at 10% a year from the year 1250 till now..  there would not be a cow or leather bearing animal alive today.

Things change NOTHING in the world is exponential for very long.

It is junk science at it's worst.

He should be ashamed...  but he isn't because to him.. the end justifies the means.   sooo he is packing these little mush headed kids full of his BS.

 Laz your a funny guy,  "junk science".   "If you took the growth of the buggy whip industry for instance at 10% a year from the year 1250 till now..  there would not be a cow or leather bearing animal alive today."   Thats great stuff, but not at all relevant to what he is saying.  He's saying if something continues growing at a predictable rate, then we can predict the outcome.  "Things change NOTHING in the world is exponential for very long." He never said all things grow the same,  you just added that in for your own benefit.  It's pretty straight forward math.

Are y'all sure the dude's "PhD" isn't hanging in the Garage, ie...Post Hole Digger.   

[crockett]

That's just priceless!

And very typical of the O Club..

[33Vortex]

Yeah there are a lot of no-brainers around here. The horde mentality clearly shine through.


lazs2:
Your logic is flawed, and you take his arguments out of context, making them something they are not. It's hipocracy, as what you are saying that he is saying, is not what he actually is saying. So, either you do not understand what he is saying, or you do not want to. Like Mojava said, it's pretty straight forward math.

[john9001]

i like to use the word exponential , it makes people think i are smart.

also. quantum is a good word to use.

[2bighorn]

It is junk science at it's worst.

Just some 8th grade math, Lazs, and in any case, every single sentence in that video makes more sense than all of your radioactive posts here combined.

[Furball]

Lazs has guns, you better agree with him.

[2bighorn]

Lazs has guns, you better agree with him.

LOL and probably unlimited supply of ammo

[33Vortex]

Again, ignorance does not make facts disappear. 

As an example, lazs may shoot us all, but that won't make his **** any bigger.



Did I go too far? It's all in good humor, nothing personal, I'm sure lazs is a great guy.

[storch]

all I can say is...........bwahahahahahahah ahahahahaha  what a tool!
