Love, by Steve Jobs

"Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. You gotta find what you love. And that is true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work, and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking, don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And like any great relationships, it just gets better and better as the years roll on." - Steve Jobs, 8:30 Stanford speech

Over population and peak oil - an inconvenient truth

RE: Posting in response to my earlier blog "Theory of Exponential Growth" on Jan. 22

"Democracy cannot survive overpopulation.

Human dignity cannot survive overpopulation,

Convenience and decency cannot survive overpopulation

As you put more and more people into the world, the value of life not only declines, it disappears. It doesn't matter if someone dies, the more people there are, the less one individual maters. " - Isaac Asimov, (6:48 into video part 7 of 8)
