Fellow citizens and intellectuals of the day, it is with great sadness that I reveal to you the astonishing sad realities of the future of our industrialized society. We are plundering the earth's resources at a rate faster than any civilization in the past, and doom and gloom are sure to follow.

few people are intelligent enough to see the obvious meltdown we are facing. already this month two queries have closed down because they simply ran out of resources. WAKE UP! when will people see what we are doing and know that it can't continue forever??

Pharaoh and his administration are in bed with the rock producers and they are all getting rich off the backs of the poor! Higher and higher the pyramids get and no one is looking down the road and planning for when the resources run out! After all, this planet only has so many rocks and they are not re-newable!!

by the way, scientists say we will reach 1 million people on the planet next year and it can't sustain a population of that magnitude! Plus, did anyone notice the warm summer we had this year?

and that's not all! I have even more fear of the impending peak bronze crisis and peak wood crisis. And woe to those who have to suffer through the peak coal crisis!! oh the humanity!!!

Shut. Up. And. Leave.

Seriously, why is it that people new to the topic and are prone to over-optimism always assume the more pessimistic type expect a fucking all out thermonuclear war with the Middle East and China and N. Korea launching endless nukes everywhere, the fucking oceans getting a pH of 1.0, zombies popping out of the ground raping virgins and creating a sub humanoid abomination with population resorting to cannibalism since 25 trillion people was too much for the ecosystem to handle. Oh ya, average global temperatures rising by 20 degrees in 2 weeks.

Go away, you are a dumbass.

The egyptian empire didn't fall apart because it ran out of rock.

Humans have been good at innovating their way out of problems and resource scarcity in the past but this doesn't mean that it will always happen. Indeed in some cases it didn't happen, plenty of empires collapse in part because they couldn't solve their problems of the time. The Roman empire is a good example.
