$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Ludi', 'S')ameu, how will you find a place to live, food to eat, etc without a job?

Without an income, I'd be in deep poopy, so I'm curious to see how you plan to do this tomorrow when you quit your job.


I'll live in the house of my grand mother, and spend all my time in the garden, chopping wood, go out to trade stuff, collect and purify rainwater my mother will repair clothing since she knows how to work a needle and a thread
euhm something like that
No money needed for any of that stuff

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('sameu', ' ')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('MonteQuest', '
')So, let me ask you. If the standard of living goes down, does human mortality go up? If the access to energy goes down, does human mortality go up?

If you say no, then why does human mortality go down when the standard of living or access to energy goes up?

Have you read my scenario? It's posted in the PO Discussion forum.


I still have a lot of reading to do here, I admit

But I don't think there is any correlation between the standard of living (or access to energy) and human morality/happiness, really


Mortality not morality. :roll:

ow yes :-D well definitely a correlation between those two :-D

It's true, modern science keeps people alive for a longer period. But I have always doubted if this is such a progress in the first place.
