https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/world-population-by-year/| 1969  I do not wish to seem overly dramatic, but I can only conclude from the information that is available to me as Secretary-General
that the members of the United Nations have perhaps ten years left
in which to subordinate their ancient quarrels and launch a global partnership to curb the arms race, to improve the human environment, to defuse the
population explosion and to supply the required momentum to development
efforts. If such a global partnership is not forged within the next
decade, then I very much fear that the problems I have mentioned will have
reached such staggering proportions that they will be beyond our capacity
to control. —U Thant Secretary General of the United Nations | 1974 We will call him Crazy Eddie. Always he does the wrong things for excellent reasons. He does the same things over and over, and they always bring disaster, and he never learns. When a city has grown so overlarge and crowded that it is in immediate danger of collapse, when food and clean water flow into the city at a rate just sufficient to feed every mouth, and every hand must work constantly to keep it that way, when all transportation is involved in moving vital supplies, and none is left over to move people out of the city should the need arise, then it is that Crazy Eddie leads the movers of garbage out on strike for better working conditions.—from The Mote in God’s Eye by Larry Niven & Jerry Pournelle |
