We wrestle to determine truth in a sea of noise.
Ain't that the truth!

Maybe so. But he continues repeating the same logical mistake. Our whole history suggests that the definition of resources change.
Politicians strive for relentless economic growth, but this is not sustainable in a world where resources are finite.
The resources of Terra *are* finite. Very, very, very... very large, but finite.
Of course, that's why we shouldn't confine ourselves to the resources of Terra.
"Everything is finite. You are finite, I am finite, this... is not the right tool..."

In my job, and I'm sure in many others, if every time I came across a problem I just thought "well that's it im fkd" I'd acheive little.
It's amazing how often a moments thought and trying something different results in success.
That's why experience is valuable in my trade, and tbh, satisfaction from overcoming issues is an enjoyable part of it.
The biggest problem I see regarding resources is not the availability of them per se, but the thoughtless use of them by the consumerist masses, self involved in their petty useless lives.
Change their behaviour and you're halfway there 😉

You have to come up with ways to solve your own problems.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

No mention of the pile of dead hunter bones nearby killed by the prey!

No mention of the pile of dead hunter bones nearby killed by the prey! Tougher than the front four of any modern football team though.

Attention British Celtic cousins. There is a new genetic study out, which offers more detail to what Bryan Sykes published in "Saxons, Vikings and Celts".
Beaten perhaps, but not genetically bred out. Survival is victory. Striking similarities
According to Prof Peter Donnelly who co-led the study, the results show that although there is not a single Celtic group, there is a genetic basis for regional identities in the UK.
"Many of the genetic clusters we see in the west and north are similar to the tribal groupings and kingdoms around, and just after, the time of the Saxon invasion, suggesting these kingdoms maintained a regional identity for many years," he told BBC News.
Prof Donnelly and his colleagues compared genetic patterns now with the map of Britain in about AD 600, after the Anglo Saxons had arrived from what is now southern Denmark and Northern Germany. By then, they occupied much of central and southern England.
"We see striking similarities between the genetic patterns we see now and some of these regional identities and kingdoms we see in AD 600, and we think some of that may well be remnants of the groupings that existed then," he explained.
A map of different genetic groupings reveals subtle but distinct differences between those sampled in West Yorkshire and the rest of the country.
