Unfortunately as the world’s population continues to expand in poor parts of the world, technology grows exponentially beyond the plodding ways of democratic systems of government to keep pace and global warming adds its heat and weather mayhem, nations are pressured to fragment and violence escalate.

These, alas, are the only negative offsets available to humankind’s enormous creativity of the last several hundred years.

And since probability balance is the inescapable law of the universe, humanity is helpless to head off this coming train-wreck — oh, happy day.
