    Although you are basically right you lack the facts. Economic models are mistakenly based on the idea that you could generalize outdated physics equations to cover a concept called "utility." Total fucking bullshit. Economics is not science. SciAm had a short cutting and concise article on it. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=the-economist-has-no-clothes

    According to Neil Stephenson in the Cryptanomicon (sp?) They had post cataract soldiers in a row boat and on shore and used UV lights to meet. The German soldiers could not see UV so they were blind to the lights.

    According to the some Toaists if you spend 21 days in total darkness the brain converts melatonin to tryptophan then to 5meoh-DMT then to DMT (most powerful hallucinogen in the world.) After 14 days or so people claim to be able to see in UV and IR. This is before the ass-kicking drugs kick in.

    You cold use a UV flashlight to illuminate object and see the reflections that we cannot. Apparently bees see in UV so many flower intricacies are lost on us.

    Moyers: What happens to the idea of the dignity of the human species if population growth continues at its present rate?

    Asimov: It will be completely destroyed. I will use what I call my bathroom metaphor. Two people live in an apartment and there are two bathrooms, then both have the freedom of the bathroom. You can go to the bathroom anytime you want, and stay as long as you want, for whatever you need. Everyone believes in the freedom of the bathroom. It should be right there in the Constitution. But if you have 20 people in the apartment and two bathrooms, no matter how much every person believes in the freedom of the bathroom, there is no such thing. You have to set up times for each person, you have to bang at the door, "Aren't you through yet?" and so on.

    The same way democracy cannot survive overpopulation. Human dignity cannot survive it. Convenience and decency cannot survive it. As you put more and more people into the world, the value of life not only declines, it disappears. It doesn't matter if someone dies. The more people there are the less one individual matters.

    On another note why does EA remake shit like this? They could have just called it Cyberpocolypse or Billy Menumonic or some other title and it would have been exactly the same. This looks about as cyber punk as any other Castel Wolfenstien remake. Where is the sky the color of a TV tuned to a dead channel? Where is the deliverator? Where is the ketamine? Where is Reason? Where are the prostitutes who use roofies until they wake up covered in blood? If you want a non stop shoot em up with a few side games just go ask Iain M. Banks for some rights. If you want a extremely complicated idea about the structure of the human mind and how that can be viewed through the prism of hyper connected data driven world with subtexts of machine programing humans I think FPS is not the muse of choice. How long have we been waiting for a Neuromancer movie? Why can't Chris Cunningham, Danny Bole, and James Cameron just walk into the studio and grab the execs by the balls and yell "GIVE US THE FUCKING RIGHTS ASSHOLES!" Ahhh but I digress.

    Yeah right Koch Brothers Troll. Right now Social Security taxes and bond sales to the Chinese and Arabs pay for the highway system. Put a weight mile tax with a multiplier for studded tires and single occupancy on every car, truck and bus and then divide the total cost of the roads and apply it evenly. I am sure you would shit a brick and what it really costs to drive.

    It is not fair if you drive off road. I pay to maintain my roads on my tree farm; it is expensive. I can't get the fucking bureaucracies in the state government to do their jobs and update their maps when I build new ones or repair existing ones which has permitting effects.

    The cost benefit ratio for people just getting in a car by themselves and being single car commuters is still to low. Change that equation far enough through traffic, costs, or incentives and maybe they will walk a block and then get on a bus or ride a bike, Just those two things would probably save the US billions in health care alone.
