gulag mp3 enargeia: gulag abstract

My future reality? Oil depletion leading to economic collapse and global total war precluding any internationalist approach to either global warming, overpopulation, energy alternatives or maintaining even the semblance of democratic order resulting in a globalised capitalist totalitarian feudalism, historically gigantic population culls through war, famine and pestilence, followed by accelerating biosphere destruction with the end result within 100 years or so a Permian style planetary extinction event wiping out 90% of all life on earth including us, unless we preempt nature through either adapting to the changes being forced on us or we commit the ultimate genocide and destroy ourselves in a nuclear apocalypse.

My present optimism? Evolution is tenacious, life on this planet is incredibly adaptive and one of its most tenacious species is Homo sapiens. Never underestimate the capacity of the human animal to adapt to change and learn from its history I say, nor should we underestimate our capacity for stupidity and ignorance, the future is as always an open question.
