THE UNCERTAIN FUTURE

(a) War is certain simply because it is always certain. (b) Plague is certain because it is always certain. (d) economic Malthusian limits are certain because they are always certain – it’s just demographics; (c) Resource exhaustion is certain because Malthusian limits to the earth are always certain.

The question is only whether we make civil war certain so that we CHOOSE the war rather than are victims of war, plague, economic exhaustion, and resource exhaustion.

The hypothesis that we have defeated Methuselah is very hard to stand behind. The question is whether we choose to control and survive those certainties or choose to be the victim of them.

There exist no theories without limits other than the certainty that all theories (general rules of limited precision) have limits. Dark ages are a regular occurrence. Civilizational collapse is a regular occurrence. The reasons are always the same: technological innovation followed by mass migration, causing information, incentive, and organizational collapse within the civil orders.

We always choose our destiny. We choose to pay for the one we want, or we choose not to and get what we deserve.
