Thank you for sharing this incisive, well-researched analysis of the oncoming ecological, technological, and sociopolitical catastrophe we can no longer avoid. Your essays are like a pair of binoculars in a pleasure boat that is out of gas, looking downstream from the bow as the current gets ever faster and more turbulent. We can hear the thunderous roar around the next bend, but most of us are too busy drinking and partying to pay any attention to it!
