I think it's more than that. There's not enough nutcases to account for it.

Maybe they're culling the herd psychotronically? Maybe it's a 'dinner bell' to get the nutcases to identify themselves for chemical neutering?

The story has evolved from a circular ice wall 300ft high at the South pole, to an infinite plane with it's promise of infinite resources. Look inward, don't look up. Then you might question the angular momentum of distant galaxies.

11,600 years ago there was an human society comparable in some ways to our own. It was ended by an impact in the Caribbean basin that spewed molten material toward the Northwest. North and South America burnt. The ice cap over Canada melted.

The only place mega-fauna survived was in Africa.

au contraire mon frere. The Earth is coupled electrically with every other member of the Solar System. Water is created from sub-atomic particles in space.

It is funny though, because we all know that economic modeling is junk.
The cartoon describes a meta-model of scientific models. It's funny because it's true.
