How shall we rule??

No, no, I mean volatile in terms of flammability. Fire likes oxygen. Not sure how it would react to 3x as much of the stuff.

Based on the assumption that plants are still using photosynthesis to produce sugar, water, and oxygen, I'm fairly certain that if plants are utilizing CO2 3 times faster (or, three times as much CO2 in the same amount of time), oxygen would be produced 3 times faster (or, 3 times as much O2 in the same amount of time). That isn't necessarily bad at first, but we would be living in super-volatile living conditions.

Any biology or chemistry nerds want to double check that for me?

The air is 21% Oxygen and 0.038 Carbon Dioxide. Even if all the CO2 in the air was photsynthesised (unlikely) it would make almost no significant impact to oxygen levels.

Also as for "nerd", I prefer the term intellectual badass.

EDIT: We should be Marxist

First, I rarely use the word "nerd" to imply a negative connotation. Intellectual badass seems a little egotistical to me.

Your above statement has only occurred because our atmosphere has more or less balanced out. CO2 levels were WAAAAAAAYYY higher over the birth of the planet. Abiogenesis (or "God did it", if that's what you prefer") occurred ~3.5Ga, and the first oxygen producing organisms occurred about a billion years later. Photosynthesis plays a huge role in how much free oxygen is available, because prior to 2.4 Ga, it was virtuall non-existent in our atmosphere.

This is, of course, assuming that we were no long on Earth. It was just a precautionary warning to perhaps curtail out-of-control fires.

After spending a few minutes in photoshop what do you think?

Not bad but the island has a few smaller islands that contain the R&D labs and the coastal defence network.

Tell me....that lightning project we discussed, if it's ready......Strike him down!!!

I do believe I left the remote on your table. May have to change the batteries though.

Oh you mean this thing.....well seems harmless enou...OH SHIT!!!

.....Tell me, have you any expierience in the creation of non-conductive secretaries??

Non-conductive? Hmm. I'll need to bring a specialist for that. Been busy building our air defense network. Contrary to popular belief, lightning doesn't work so hot on aircraft...

Ah not to worry the country has a coastal defence network including anti-aircraft guns.

First thing that should get done is the creation of proper infrastructure; cities (including government buildings, housing etc.), transit facilities (like roads), a power grid, a sewage system running water and the rest. Then there is the implementation of laws as agreed upon by the ruler and experts in all fields of study/knowledge (including sciences, arts, etc.) and a system to ensure those laws are being followed (police/courts etc.). Then we need essential services like firefighters, sewage workers, hospitals, maintenance workers, electrical workers, administration, schools, food producers, internets, etc. Then comes industry, entertainment and the rest of the non-essential jobs. As long as everyone works with the spirit of perfection of self and society and everyone strives towards improving knowledge in all fields then we will have a perfect and well run society, where everyone will always be happy.

Edit: also all of our buildings should be beautiful to create a national pride, and a military force should be maintained for defensive purposes only. We will join the U.N. (if it still exists) if only to teach the rest of the world how to do it right.

I hereby place you in command of the "National Public Building and Organised Constructions" (NPBOC).

How about Escapia, since this site is called The Escapist and we are escaping the rest of the world.

Ok I'm sold!!

This new and shall hence forth be known as:

"ESCAPIA"

I have a clip that will show us the course of events that will happen.


OT: We shall call this land "this land", build giant skyscrapers near the ocean and play limbo.

Im guessing you going for the North Korea image.

I think we should have a democracy for a few decades, then when we find some competent leaders we scan their brains to a super computer that can emulate a human perfectly; then we could build some combat robots and....wait....

As long as this doesn't end with Keanu Reeves or JC Denton as the world's only savior, I can probably get behind it.
