    Hmm! Africa is set to have 2 billion people by 2050 and a population that is majority under 35 the AIDS virus killed off the old and the weak, the strongest have survived. Lets bring them in to replace the populations of Europe and America, there is no economic model that supports a 1.38, 1.6 birthrate with a babyboom population that is 80 million+.

    Hey IMF, how about we abandon all ties to your arbitrarily mandated artificial resource called currency, and base currency on something intrinsic to reality like energy? Or to be more specific electrical energy! Then we will suddenly find ourselves having the capacity to more than adequeatly distribute necessities & technologies as well as free time to contemplate the troubling mysteries of reality through science! We don’t need you and your NEW WORLD ORDER!

    Funny; the old man went up the mountain and dropped the cain. The video seemed to be suggesting a ‘solution’ to the problem – one that has been the ‘solution’ taken by many cultures in older times and was hidden from us. Or I’m just seeing too much.
    Still, that ‘anxious’ music seemed in exact accordance…

    The answer is nutrition,exercise and more technology in health care to make people live longer and to be productive till their last days. Forget retirement. People retire then they become less active and that is detrimental to health.Loss of muscle and loss of bone density and lower metabolism.This is the result of retirement.The world needs the wisdom and knowledge of older people.Imagine if the great minds could live an extra 30 plus years and be productive.This concept could propel mankind.

    politics is a noble calling. In addition to meeting well-defined strategic objectives, politician must also help make meaningful contributions to social issues, economic growth, and political stability. That’s why effective political leaders plays a vital role in shaping our world and not shaping their wallets!!
    Economic growth without social progress lets the great majority of people remain in poverty, while a privileged few reap the benefits of rising abundance…

    This is 1 of the best videos i have ever seen cause it really talks about how we can involve our selves in the global aging views of helping the old and
    the young “KHA”

    Over the next few decades the population over age 60 will grow by one billion to a total of two billion. The proportion of the working population will fall rapidly. This could pose significant financial problems for the world economy. RAY

    IT Will be good when there are fewer people .. period.
    Seems the ‘grey-power’ pensions – which the young won’t have because big business and governments don’t want them to be able to ‘help each other’ like their parents and grandparents did – are the things keeping economies going.
    (And it’s not that things are too expensive … it’s that business doesn’t want to pay people for their work. Better to hoard money in pension plans than in banks.)
