why thankyou, we are seeing a sharp disinterest in economics and a increase in human connection with spirituality, we must look at the human race as one giant organism, connected through ways unexplained. This mental mood will change, and repeat itself over and over.

We are currently incapable of attaining the unity of a hivemind. Thus, we, as a species, will likely continue to attack and winnow our numbers down, until we reach the critical threshhold of sustainability.

It's okay. Perhaps it's right, in the end. Perhaps we were never meant to be the true and ongoing dominant species. After all, we have our dreams, and our folklore. We have beliefs to sustain us and things to hold onto, even as we float down the rivers, out to sea.

I hope that which follows us has a higher regard for the system as a whole. Not just the planet, but the whole Unisphere.

Dare I laugh? You betcha! Humor heals.
