do u beleive?

Question

that oil will finish in 2050?
that we will never live without conflicts?
that a tragedy will happen 2009, sepember 9th?

Answer 1

At our current rate of consumption, there will be zero fossil fuels in 50 years along with zero coal and other natural resources. We'll also be at 10 billion people mostly in the third world countries.

War will always be a part of human history. We are currently at 40 conflicts and wars in the world today, nothing has changed since the days we ran off the Neandertals 50,000 years ago.

The only date of destiny that can be predicted is the impact of the asteroid Apophis in 2036. We may interdict with our technology, but that is the only extinction level event that science can predict. The Sept 9th date that you mention has no significance.

Answer 2

I think that the petroleum based economy is right now on it's last legs. There may be other discoveries, but dependence on oil is going to go down, so although oil will never actually be "finished" it will not have the place it now holds in the culture in 2050.

Human beings have never lived without conflict. The constantly escalating scale of brutality over the centuries shows that the human species has a real problem in this regard. The difference since the end of our WW II is that the potential for total destruction has forced the implementation of some institutions (like the UN) that can help to mitigate against large whole scale conflict. This is now somewhat breaking down because that was based on a balance between two poles of power and at the moment only one pole is functional. This has brought the human tendency to dominate and form empires into the open. It does not seem likely that this empire forming will be successful, so the imposition of a false but functional "pax imperium" like there was in past times will probably not happen. The environmental factor will also have a greater effect. It may force a certain pacification onto the human species in order to survive, but it may also cause resource wars.

Among others, the tragedies of hunger, conflict, illness, poverty and exploitation are unfortunately almost certain to continue. I don't see what any particular date has to do with anything.

Answer 3

1. I have no particular reason to believe oil will run out by 2050, especially with the electric cars coming.
2. Yes I believe we will never live without conflicts. Its a part of life.
Yes I believe a tragedy will happen 2009, September 9th, and another one on September 10th. Tragedies happen every single day, unfortunately. In the province of Quebec there are about 3 suicides per day. In the last five seconds, a child died of starvation. Those facts are tragedies.

By the way, a rule that doesn't always work, but often enough to be useful: i before e, except after c. so "believe"

Answer 4

hell no, the oil part..well who really knows how much there really is, this is just bases on educated gueses which with time always probe to be wrong this might be the next y2k
tragedy in 2009, tragedies happend everywhere every single day we just dont know about it, this county's last tragedy was that towers/plane thing, i guess in 2009 we're due for another one i mean look at the dumb **** the politicians are doing we're practicly begging for bad thing to happend to us.....
as far as living without conflict we as a civilization and as humans claim to love peace but peace can only be attained when all existing parties are happy, as long as we keep depending on material posession to dictate our happiness, unless we learn to thruly respect each other we will never see real peace

Answer 5

If we ever run out of oil, we will know it in advance and a new fuel will be invented or discovered. We used to be a coal country and look what happened. Free markets evolve and new and better things come along.

We will always have conflict. What kind depends.

Answer 6

I don't believe any of that. Halliburton is over in Iraq making sure that oil won't run out for sometime.
And what about 9/9/2009? I never heard anything about that date.

Answer 7

I don't believe. Remember 666? Nothing happened.

Answer 8
