What a deadful and depressing topic...

End of Oil, causing famine and economy collapse and wars.
This stuff is scary to think about for some of us though. For someone like me, thinking that this stuff is likely to happen in my lifetime makes me worry tremendously about the future and what will happen to me and those close to me during that time. I have a gnawing sensation that humanity will end through one of these catastrophes in the next hundred years or so. Technological evolution has opened many new doors, but has also caused many severe problems, some irreversible, others not likely to be reversed due to how reliant people have become on technology. Add this to how people in modern societies have become, and it seems even worse.

I don't have high hopes for our future...
