Unanticipated Future Implications

Assume housing shelter and clothing, and food and water will be irreplaceably essential factors throughout the next million years

Then in the long run, what kinds of ideas will be gathered by the whole population in determining an optimum broad, tolerant gradient between essential and inessential economic activities? These are conditions that will eventually exist for a very long time, tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of years. How extensive can inessential activity be during a hundred millennia?

Five thousand years of development has successfully attained the Moon and returned the long sought understanding of the Sun, Moon, other planets and Earth itself, Those five millennia were the hand of millions of years of human evolution, including sweeping the bones out of the cave door and migrating to avoid the waste

Recently, years a massive garbage glut are sweeping Southern Italy. Attempts have been made to ship the garbage north.

Instead, the collapse itself, of waste disposal systems, itself is likely to move north. It occurs when the industrial market technology and infrastructure, created for the final struggle to reach the Moon, itself collapses into garbage.

With that all clear, one most likely catastrophe appears to be failure of the waste disposal systems to keep up with the trashed industrial market refuse and the collapsing infrastructure

Instinct and evolution have little or no remaining interest in the Moon, Sun, or other planets, because none of them appear suitable as habitations for life. Life does not exist on any of them, and no living beings, plants or animals exist which might constitute threats to Earth.

That simple, huge, crude scenario is obscured by intrigues, strategies, plots, and doomsday and other scenarios in case of conflict. Worse, unresolved tension over the collapse and garbage problems may be aggravating international tensions.

If industrial collapse of that sort takes place, it will likely cause massive unemployment which is possibly already under way and that is likely to obscure the need to increase simple food and shelter supplies, distribution and availability and prevent the design of economic systems capable of handling these areas

Fundamental, pragmatic economic and human psychology and character studies would have to concentrate on what human beings can or should be doing if sophisticated industrial production and the research that supports it collapses.

A response among the common people about the results of space flight was a recognition of these factor

There exists no breathable air, no significant water, no beings, animals or plants, no threats except asteroids, and no place to live except on Earth

Existing and rapidly growing massive human populations do not see significant importance in advanced forms of research and production and aggressively new artificial technology since only Earth remains to populate

A subterranean implication is that human reproduction is considering going back to seasonal fertility instead of fertility all year round

The evolved, natural, unavoidable and aggressive human need to eat living organisms and the urge to reproduce of course remains and predominates,

The populations do see that construction of houses and agricultural production of food has importance. They are eager, even longing, for some kind of roles related to the traditional patterns found in rural life where jobs were not only simple but largely self- evident, in both the construction and maintenance of houses and farms, in animal husbandry and the raising of crops. But the problem is so primitive that even irrigation will have to be introduced anew to populations that have lived several generations in the urban constructions

This whole problem is similar to the issues of removing hydroelectric dams, of re-establishing carnivores such as wolves, and of curtailing the massive slaughter of oceanic animals and other aquatic wildlife

These issues are compelling yet they are not often recognized in rational terms yet, at least not in so many words. In any case, the present situation appears to be one of incipient emerging potential for massive collapse of CERTAIN COMPONENTS of the entire technological infrastructure dating all the way back to the start of pyramid constructions and irrigation. Other components are almost self- evident, and consist primarily of food and shelter. Some important new developments are likely to be found very much worth continuing and propagating, such as insurance and other forms of collective preparation.

This author cannot be more specific, as the issue is extraordinarily vague even though it is important although it is well resolved in the specific agencies responsible for essentials, agriculture and food, and shelter and housing. Clothing would be another essential, transportation and communications are highly important, though both need to be trimmed down. NOT to bare essentials because that is much too austere and alarming. They need to be trimmed of extravagance, though not of celebration and more moderate, less deceptive advertising. Corporations design new and more expensive, more costly cars and appliances like birds flap their wings

Many new designs, and the jobs in which people are employed doing them, have little or nothing to do with broadening the base of important essential factors and increasing the way in which massive populations of otherwise unemployed people can contribute to its maintenance.
