X-Message-Number: 12217 From: "John de Rivaz" <> References: <> Subject: Re: "peak" experiences Date: Sun, 1 Aug 1999 15:44:04 +0100 Peak experiences, fresh air: I moved to a site some 1/8 of a mile from the sea in Cornwall (UK) 21 years ago and still appreciate the fresh air. I only have to go a for a few miles along the inland road system to realise how appalling the air is in most places. Crowding The concentration of people in cities is orders of magnitude than the overall crowding on the planet. I haven't noticed medical treatment being withheld in the cities, so even if the overall level of crowding reached the peak values observed in cities, compulsory euthanasia is unlikely to result. A cryopreserved patient capable of reanimation is just another patient, after all. The Internet could well reduce the need for cities and in population may be more evenly spread in future. -- Sincerely, John de Rivaz my homepage links to Longevity Report, Fractal Report, my singles club for people in Cornwall, music, Inventors' report, an autobio and various other projects: http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/JohndeR > From: Jan Coetzee <> > Subject: "peak" experiences > > I think all pleasures are relative.
