50 years, eh? (I'm sure I told the story about the airline passenger from a town in Switzerland - working on their 500-year Plan.) It's just such a Bother to plan ahead such a Loooong time - we should just pretend that it doesn't matter that the space ship passengers are screwing at an exponential rate, while the ship's algae farms cannot expand even at a geometric rate.

[Ooooh - he said population. We Are Not to Think about That.]

And: those who do choose to face the impossible convergence of these two lines on the graph? Surely these "hate life" ie WDYHASM transliterated. You sure have a way with mindless slogans. Even the implicit ones.
