[QUOTE="C_Hallbert, post: 4327550, member: 42957"] Thirty Years From Now….. In the future, the world’s nations, societies and diversified cultures (as we know them) will be gone. Stress caused by an even more enormous world population than we have now will tear the fabric of humanity apart. Overpopulation brings out the worst in rats and men. In response to the inevitable failure of governments to satisfy the endless demands of non-productive populations and inability to control them, those with wealth and power will retreat to areas where they can be safe. They’ll secure themselves in isolation apart from the low class rabble whom are competing for earth’s dwindling resources for food, clothing, shelter and energy. In the outerland regions, beyond the enclaves of the elite, forests and trees will be stripped for heating and fuel for cooking the last edibles that can be foraged from the natural world. In the chaos, feudal estates cemented with brute force wielded by natural born, modern day warriors who call upon their primordial instincts to conquer and control those within their limited domains. The regions occupied by the elite will be bizarre worlds where defense and security along with life’s essentials and comforts are provided by technologically advanced robotic systems. Autonomous devices will also range beyond their enclaves to obtain resources required to maintain the conditions desired by the elite. The world’s human population will plummet to a small fraction of its current number due to starvation, disease, exposure and violent conflicts. It’s probable that, if populations in the outlands are believed by the elite to constitute a threat, annoyance, or perhaps just a simple inconvenience, their autonomous devices will be unleashed on the feudal compounds and will hunt those surviving in the wilds to eradicate them as sources of pestilence. In my opinion, society’s changes, and the trends they suggest, predict demonstrate humankind has lost its way along with the essence of its soul. In fact, it now appears so far gone that it’s probably beyond recovery. Like our dinosaur predecessors, the time is rapidly approaching when the most merciful thing that could happen would be for a massive comet impact to put everyone on this God forsaken planet out of their misery…..
