collapse

If the course toward 3C is unchanged, our civilization risks suffering and death on an unprecedented scale: four billion dead between 2060 and 2090, along with a 50 percent drop in world GDP. The actuaries noted that “no realistic plan [is] in place to avoid this scenario.”

In a very real sense, we could not have gotten into this predicament if we didn't precisely lack the leadership and skills we would need to solve the problems we face now. We are not going to develop a "plan" at this point. Is there a plan for next week?

Sorry actuaries.

The power of our science and technology was put info the hands of people who A) could never have created this world and B) have no idea what to do with our powerful knowledge except to use it to pimp out their own lives.

Nobody is coming to save us. It's like when Dorothy pulls back the curtain and it's just a little green man...
