state of the planet address...

 where are we at now?

pray tell.

freud tells us that when we cast or predict  the end of the world we are actual expressing anxiety about our own demise.

huh.

fair enough.

however the situation is about desperate going on to irreparable this time.

the fleas are barking and the dogs are scratching while the world is about to go into a wicked spiral of depopulation and de-industrialisation which governments will be powerless to stop.

the theory of evolution says that who survives during changes to the environment are not necessarly the strong or the most intelligent  but those capable of adaptation to changing circumstances.

so ideally the survivors of any major collpase will be strong, intelligent and capable of societal and cultural adaptation. 

and they will have a much freer hand to carry out their objectives.
