After running the numbers on a set of four equations representing human society, a team of NASA-funded mathematicians has come to the grim conclusion that the utter collapse of human civilization will be “difficult to avoid.”
The exact scenario may vary, but in the coming decades humanity is essentially doomed to some variant of “Elites” consuming too much, “resulting in a famine among Commoners that eventually causes the collapse of society.”
That is, unless civilization is ready for one of two “major policy changes”: inequality must be “greatly reduced” or population growth must be “strictly controlled.”
The apocalyptic pronouncements, set to be published in an upcoming edition of Ecological Economics, come courtesy of a U.S. team led by applied mathematician Safa Motesharrei and funded in part by NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.

Someone at NASA found copies of “Malthus” and “The Population bomb” at the local library.
I don’t think they like being called towelheads, especially since they aren’t towels at all. They are linen, like little sheets. I think they prefer being called little sheet heads.
That is strange

At least a google search says it can be watched there
Let me get this straight; we cannot accurately predict the weather a few days to a week out, but we are to trust scientists on the 100 year forecast. We cannot find any trace of a miaaing large plane with all of our technology, but we can predict the future.
Yeah, Call me skeptical.
Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate the dificulty of the 3-7 day forecast and tracing anything like the plane.
Undoubtedly we all have to convert to Islam, too.
...because mathematicians are the go-to source for understanding human behavior.....
The reviews for the iPhone app are horrible
'Dark' matter and 'Dark' energy spring to mind.
That is, unless civilization is ready for one of two “major policy changes”: inequality must be “greatly reduced” or population growth must be “strictly controlled.”
If you will notice, both of these items to succeed ‘properly’, will necessarily require a total control by government over ‘everything’ and ‘everybody’. In other words a tyranny greater than anything humans ever ever witnessed except at a Nazi concentration camp. That is... inside the wires, not outside of them.
“This not your father’s NASA”
Got that right, They don’t have their heads up in space, they have them up their tails.
NASA used to be the finest organization on the face of the Earth. They employed the finest minds, and they made steps where no human had ever gone. With the *new* breed, NASA is communists and moslems. Both communists and moslems seek the same goals of full control over all Americans thanks to policy changes by the obama. It makes me sick. At one point I would have given my life to help NASA but now nasa can kiss my bare butt.
Not here, we really are the bread basket of the world. We could feed our own just fine if we had to.
Totalitarianism, Communism AND Genocide. The Trifecta!
Oh good Lord... another federally funded ‘research’
Its nothing but my tax dollars so some looney can use the ‘research’ to shout out his opinions.
