#2 Prozac, a hot bath, a teddy bear and a bed to hide under. Good grief if pessimism was saleable he'd be a freakin' millionaire!

#3 The writer of this piece is an idiot. He can look at the rate of technology increase in today's overpopulated world, compare it with 1600 technology increase and say we are falling behind because our increase per person isn't as high.

Could be we're getting a lot more technological increases but have a lot more sluggards on the rolls weighting down the numbers. That's the way it looks to me.

The guy also doesn't seem to understand basic economics. Oil starts running out and all of a sudden you'll see serious interest and investment in that Hydrogen and other tech. Heck, high oil prices have already spurred interst in shale oil again.

This guy is a fool.

#4 Prozac? Why waste perfectly good drugs on the guy? He simply needs to be put out of his misery, that's all.

#5 Can we steer ourselves towards the Cuban ideal?

Sort of tells you everything you need to know without reading the whole thing to find out this is his objective.

#6 A pity the formerly respectable Times published this neo-slavist schlock.

#7 there are only 30 to 40 years of oil left

Should be plenty for my lifetime then. :)
