When the sole vision is absolute power the lack of a plan or even imagination renders it impotent. You are 💯 correct!
@StevenSavage
Utter collapse is imaginable but so is the opposite. Those who have only known comfort will be the weakest as humans face difficulties requiring sacrifice to sustain and hopefully thrive as a species. Greed will take us to the brink...what will keep us from the freefall? I don't know.
One of those near earth planet killers may render this moot. (And I'm an optimist).
@Mfieck the challenge will be for people to deal with it. I have resigned myself to the fact that parts of the world and our own country will collapse and become unlivable. But we can reduce it and get through it.
