Tao Stoic 154

"Will people EVER start listening to us Master?"

"No, not unless."

"But there have been plenty of man-made disasters! Seveso, Bhopal, Chernobyl! The latter even was unequalled in showing the anti-national aspect of our problems. From far over the Polar circle to deep into Turkey, the effect was telling."

"Yet, these disasters were too small. If it should so happen, and the time for that is near, that farmers in the large grain areas get only 24 bags of grain out of every 25 sown, then, may be, scientists might start to wonder. They might start being REAL scientists even. They might wonder whether there is not some literature about: 'The World-Solutions for World-Problems'. That is my book (ISBN 90-9002592-8)."

"Why scientists, why not the common man?"

"Because many of the common men, I heard in 1985, already were aware of the largest non-national catastrophe. They could hear the world news and deduce FOR THEMSELVES that the whole climate was at the blink. Increasing size of Icebergs, 25waves, Wind-force, Floods, Droughts etc. etc. and they did nothing. My advice of Learning English, No more kids etc. was laughed away."
