You typically are not up to having a civil conversation with anyone Eric, not even other idealists.  Hence why have little patience for you.

I rarely suffer fools and almost never gladly.  Bob is of course a different creature.

Quote:The "tides" idea seems to fail, for the simple reason that in the long run we have not reverted back to the age of hunter-gatherers, or agriculture, and probably not back to industrial either. The arrow seems more like what has happened than a pendulum, except during the last 33 years. If we reverted back to hunter-gatherer status soon, that would be unprecedented.

Strange I distinctly recall S&H using the very same analogy.  As for reversion to a less advanced state of development I take it you've never heard of the Maya.  States rise and fall, kings and kingdoms come and go but whole peoples rarely disappear without being subsumed.

I'm not going to bother with the rest of your post because it is typical Eric Clueless-ness.  Seriously what are you spening your social security/welfare checks on?  I want to know what I'm buying with my money here.

Nitpick, The Maya up in the Yucatan did not collapse had had substantial states all the way up the the Spanish Conquest. The Temple of Kukulkan everyone goes to see at Chichen Itza was built after the collapse of the classical southern Maya states.
