Thought this not too long article was very well written about the case for collapse and especially with its emphasis on our insecurities as a basis for the path that have led us to this impasse. Thoughts?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'O')h come on, people are always saying ‘It’s the End of the World’.
They’ve been saying it since the world — meaning civilisation — begun, some ten or twelve thousand years go. Eight thousand years ago the virgin forests of China and Central Asia were being felled, five thousand years ago mankind got to work turning the ‘fertile crescent’ into the dustbowl it is today, three thousand years ago we started on Europe, then the rest of the world. During all this time people have been saying ‘this is insane — we’re going to destroy ourselves.’ And they were right. All civilisations have fallen for the same reason — over-exploitation of resources and over-extension of social systems — as ours. Doomers, ancient and modern, are notoriously flaky about details, but civilisation is inherently self-destructive; it’s only a matter of time before this civilisation, the first world society, destroys itself for the same reason all the others did. In fact those notoriously alarmist, left-wing lunatics the British government, predict the end will come before 2040.

I may add that our level of damage and interference with the natural systems is unprecedented in scope and in intensity. http://www.biologicaldiversity.org/prog ... on_crisis/. Yes, we are in the midst of the 6th Mass Extinction and caused mainly by us. What is more is that our over exploitation is worldwide so no new lands or resources for our huge population

If the world's going to end soon, we might as well enjoy ourselves in the little time we've got left.
