So I guess it wouldn't matter to you if there was no corn for you or other animals to eat, so you wouldn't have any milk, cheese, corndogs, cornchips, ice cream, etc as long as the same amount of corn is grown.

Are you asking what would happen if we didn't have enough fuel for our trains, planes, ships, cars, trucks, etc? Because, yeah, it would be pretty bad. Imagine having no food, clothes, medicine, or anything else you buy in store. Because it's all shipped in with fossil fuels.

Right. But that may takes hundreds of thousands or millions of years and a mass extinction. That new equilibrium point may not be something we want, and it may be completely devoid of humans. A desert is in equilibrium. So is Antarctica. So yes, the environment and the Earth will trudge along and find a stable point, but that doesn't give us free reign to introduce invasive species.

Maybe that was the solution 40 years ago. I haven't seen it. There are trusted one-way links that allow movement between networks with automated filtering for questionable content. You're not going to fat-finger pictures, videos, and other non-text from one network to another, are you?

Good luck with that. I don't know if you watched Skyfall one too many times, but all of those centers are disconnected from the internet and run on their own network, precisely for this reason.

Don't get me wrong, I get your point, but there is a certain beauty to crash only software.

I grew up in Amish country. Still an all too common sight in those areas.

Hey thanks for the anecdata.

...which is still really popular. Vinyl manufacturers can't keep up with the demand of record sales.

Perpetual recording to include taking a shit, badmouthing their boss while driving in the cruiser, talking to victims, informants, and others who would rather not have their identities known? Yeah, that's well thought out.
