8 June 2009 - sustainability

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

Sustainability is a comforting buzzword, but what’s the point of a light bulb that uses half the energy if people then stay up twice as late? The only way to reduce environmental impact in the long run is to reduce the number of people, and only China is serious about that. When I become king of the world, I’ll rectify the situation in one generation by sterilizing everyone. There’s no need for exceptions, since after all some people are already younger than I am. Anyway, if you’re extra zealous in working for me maybe I’ll let you be cloned.
