PaleMelanesian speaks the truth! But if you really consider where we are in the grand scheme of things, 'almost always' may not belong in that sentence any more.


This is a prediction graph generated by a computer in the early 70's. It is from a book called 'Limits To Growth'.

The book has attracted a legion of critics and deniers since it was printed. But the irony of it all is that we are pretty much on track, regarding it's predictions.

It takes a bit of study to soak it all in.
