Those are (both) excellent articles (at MIT Technology Review). Thanks for the heads up on them ! 
Folks (including self) need to think about unvarnished realities. They serve folks well in that pursuit.

Your welcome. I just stumbled across them. Haven’t even had my coffee yet but you can subscribe to their free newsletters if your interested. I found this article on their site, too, which was interesting. Might belong in a different thread but I gotta get my joe. Have a great morning.

I’m with you on that. I’m glad I stumbled across it. I signed up for their free newsletters. Here’s the sign-up page if you want.

Omg, I’ve been eating less, training my body for the great famine…just in case. I know, I sound nuts (probably am) but it never hurts to be prepared for the worse.

Awful lot of sirens around here lately. I wonder if people are dropping dead in their homes?
