Yes, just like "peak oil," mass-starvation by 1980, global cooling, the LHC creating a black hole and all the other sky-is-falling B.S. you nuts believe.


Every corrupt and hierarchically organized, technological species must face the seemingly insurmountable, thermal hurdle. And probably fail to deal with it. Some species must fail abysmally and offer only a basic existence of unbelievably wealthy, sociopathic, commercial warlords. Competing against each other to own ever larger armies of downtrodden peasants and countless more commuting, mindless, worker slaves.

All are moving, like zombies, through a smog-ridden, parched and desolate landscape without any foreseeable hope of change. All are working for their own master's toxic and mass produced, ephemeral trinkets, bangles and beads..

The workers even think they compete with each other over which Earth destroying, commuter vehicle makes them seem more important in their own eyes. Or which of this month's, latest mobile communicators ensures they are fully remote controlled and safely contained 24x365 by their distant masters.

This is Earth's _present_ condition. It can only get very much worse. Revolution would be utterly meaningless. Russia and Iran tried that and just look at the living hell with which they were so generously rewarded.
