You make that sound like a bad thing. :) ..and you are clearly a pessimist. :) Go check the facts. The populations of some Western nations are actually falling. That's why their governments are (stupidly) introducing financial incentives to encourage people to have more children. > >Our technology is stone age even electric cars and photovoltaic. Only a >cradle to cradle production process will solve the problem! What exactly do you understand under "cradle to cradle production process"? > >Our industry is not driven to sustain humanity. The only goal is >profits. What you invent today is sold tomorrow and pollutes our planet >before it reaches the shelves. People are becoming more aware of the fact that if they turn the World into a garbage dump, then that's what they will be living in, and they are starting to do something about it. Cheap clean energy, used to enable increased recycling, will help. Besides, if people didn't want/need what was produced, there would be no profits, so industry is just responding to the demands of society. > > >So forget your humanism that is based on all mighty fantasies and not on >our real world capacity. Feeding the poor and make them as dumb as us >will kill the planet. Are you willing to lead by example, and migrate to a Third World country where you wash your cloths by banging them on a rock in the river, and go to bed at sundown, because you have no electricity, or are you going to continue enjoying your Western life style, based on a modern manufacturing economy? The things I am saying are not fantasies. > >In China every week a new coal power plant did start to operate and thus See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_in_China >energy/production is cheap because the real working people are not paid >and only higher party members get a share of the wealth. But halve of >the China production is garbage - made from uncontrolled base materials >- you can even buy in Walmart and of course online temu, Alibaba. Companies, that make things that don't sell, go broke. It's Darwinian natural selection applied to companies. > >I'm lucky as I will not see the flooding of Florida and most large >cities at shores around 2100...

How do you think we got to where we are today, despite hundreds of diseases that were incurable in the past?

Regards, Robin van Spaandonk The future of computer memory clearly lies with multi-layered SOT-MRAM. Fast as SRAM, dense as NAND, very low energy due to non-volatility, and near infinite rewrites.
