You can get used to the buzzing, really.

Extra fun is visual snow on top of it, though. There is no stillness, no silence. Lack is an illusion, movement reality. Quiet a myth, grinding of the air, truth.

Existence is the gentle susurration of visual cornucopia, ever hovering atop the unceasing music of the celestial spheres. Life is sound, emptiness and fullness both color writ eternal and evermoving. Only in death may there be an end, even that uncertain.

That's because the poor are tasty! Lean meat!  Peter knows!
Some of the poor people I know are probably so steeped in THC that they'd count as edibles. :P

Hmm. Checks out for the blood of the poor being the drug of the rich.

We have a ridiculous amount of unused arable land in the US.

It's something like 6-7% of our land even being inhabited or developed at all, including farmland according to google. If we wanted to the world could produce enough food to feed us all, but humans being what we are this would simply result in like 10 people having extra mountains of food they won't share, because immigrants or something.

Except we don't want to use too much arable land because of biodiversity and stuff and also wood production.

We'll see how much people will care about biodiversity when humanity starts becoming actually desperate.

The trick is to only make predictions semi-seriously.  That way, I don't have a 98% failure rate. I have a 98% sarcasm rate.

Yeah, the survival of mankind in an emergency is more important than the survival of other species (but we are not currently in an emergency).

Sure, it's just the thing is that we need biodiversity for a lot of our human lives to function.

See bees, for example.

Unless I'm mistaken, bees are not on the verge of extinction.

They pretty much are, actually. Sweden lost 5 of its indigenous bee species in it's latest species count research. According to hearsay, Chinese agro industry is actively employing people to pollinate plants now.

However, the point j wanted tl mske is that the biospheres are chained together in pretty complicated (and sometimes surprising) ways. We need a lot of biodiversity for many of them to function.
