My very dear and unfortunately few readers,
This could be a standard, routine issue of this newsletter.
However it comprises the worst ever news nothing could be
more damaging than what the first two links from “SCIENCE”
We can probably cope with an Oil Peak Intelligence Peak
It is my duty to demonstrate that the authors are in error. I will ask,
you to help with ideas- why the conclusions of the authors are false. However, they are true for me as a person, I am much beyond the peak of my intellectual ascensions. But not so far as too be optimistic regarding the extent of this help. But please take in consideration that it is a fundamental issue. You too have or will have grandchildren.
Peter
