And that is called "sustainable development" - being consciously aware, reasoning and planning with a full understanding. As knowledge is never perfect, it means continuously adapting and improving information as well as understanding. I.e the systems views need revising - because reality is...

Yes, that I agree on. :) But like with everything - the balance of this is very difficult to ensure. The perceived imbalances, opportunities and bias will make humans want to attain more. If society was entirely "altruistic" as providing everyone with good education, security, equal wealth, and...

... and poor families have larger sizes in order to survive. I am baffled that you cannot see the consequences. Bill Gates talks about this as well many times in his work with his foundation. btud, efficacy is not exponential... and technology merely offsets the footprint, it doesn't remove...

Then you need strong Darwinism to "cull population growths." That is not a pretty picture - and involves a perpetual war. There will then be large and small cycles where humanity will sometimes tax earth and other times be on the verge of extinction. Factions would scheme and fight to rise to...

This is in line with Neo-conservativism and elitism... With them - the censorship, surveillance and policing increases rapidly - as they start to control and legislate all of society. They see their "mission" as one derived from "leadership" , "insight" or "logic" from their building up...

btud, with our current understanding of ecology - 100 billion people will surely tax the Earth so much - leverage humanity if you will - that it will only be possible for a very short time, before everything comes crashing down... I think that would happen well before 100 billion population...

1) Definitely no - there is still a huge potential for more food production, especially for Argentina, Brazil and Russia. Then there are technologies and progress which make deserts possible to retain nutrients and make agriculture possible to reverse the increasing desert-formation problem -...

I was monitoring the touch on 138.50 and wanted to get in at a double touch of that - even contemplated mid around .60 .. but I was a cheap bastard, but it's better to be safe than sorry. It's always good to secure some minimal profit as well - when it moves comfortably ahead of the entry - so...

It now seems that the US still has quite a lot of "rescuing" to do before they will get on track. No doubt that tax payers will bear the brunt, especially by the murkiness of the US "bail out plan." Hindsight is 20-20...

What I am seeing right now is more repatriation effects - where USD is strengthening and JPY is strengthening even more. I would think that some incentive from BoJ will move the JPY significantly, and they did have an extraordinary meeting earlier today. Japanese exporters will be suffering...

The Bush administration declared June 2003 to be National Home Ownership Month. "By a significant margin, minority families are less likely to own their own homes..." The goal Bush had explained 12 months earlier to the Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD), "is everybody who wants...

Hehe, yes - I slipped there - it was Greenspan of course. :)

Some of this is a little unfair to Bush, since the large deregulation of securities happened in 1995 with Clinton and Bernanke - but there is no doubt that Bush deepened and speeded up the process of this resulting in a crisis - and I think we can attribute this to accelerating greed...

If Sadia lost such a huge amount on Lehman Bros, then that is something that will have a strong impact here in Brazil as well. I buy a lot of Sadia products and consider them the top quality - prefer them over Perdigão. Brazil is a huge exporter of poultry and other frozen meat products, and...

Markets maybe continuing free - but bias will seemingly continue to be a part of the world economy system. I was surprised at how critical the Japanese are at this turn of events. On Friday NHK will be airing a documentary about the global food crisis and the dangers of depending on the US for...

The EU uses 10 times the amount of the US to bail out banks... USD 250bn for the US, but they also have more private investors like Buffet playing a part.

USDCHD short at 1.1354 target +40pips... stop -15pips 16:33 CET stop now 1.1352 16:34 CET stopped .. :) I think the entry was good, but an unfortunate stop. A bit erratic still. Looks like USD repatriation effects are still ongoing. 16:43 CET not following USDCHF any longer... more...

Agree, you are fixed leverage on futures - but futures are way more transparent. For lower risk - go spot. If you trade extensively - commissions become a large issue and expense.

USDJPY and EURUSD maybe EURJPY long Some setups are definitely coming now ... 16:10 CET.

USDJPY as well looking to move... JPY and USD strengthening bias seen in starting US RTH.
