What if...

the people that would solve all our problems, by developing new science and understanding of ourselves and our environment, were never born because of concern about lack of resources, environmental deterioration, population explosion and overshoot?

Surely the way to ensure our saviours are born is to have babies: the more the merrier.

Is there any other way?

The end...

This movie is long and depressing, but worth watching: Life at the End of Empire

There is more: the What a Way to Go Movie

But, I think, it is already too late. We are Wile E. Coyotee, hovering over the abyss, just beginning to look at our situation. But we have taken our whole world with us and we will all fall together.

There are enough people to whom others and the world are merely resources, with enough power and determination to perpetuate their privilege as long as possible, that there is no hope of a soft landing - the end has come. Yet, for a little longer, I live in interesting times.
