First, thank you for giving me something new to research, second, I can't help but be reminded of the floating mansions that the Roman elite and Rich had just before the fall of Rome...

This all makes me wonder if we should do another "limits to growth" study.

Just wait until you learn about the cambrian explosion, the anomalocaris, and opabinians.
