Sadly I tend to agree that the makings of a REALLY BAD situation are evident in what is going on in the world.
I do however like to believe that this may not be a bad thing in the end. Not that I am looking forward to the task of surviving it.
I like to believe that such an event or event's carries a few potentials.
1. What we fear, the complete destruction of our world.
2. Another fearsome outcome, a reset that knocks us back to the stone age.
3. A recoverable reset where some common sense returns to the world afterwards.
4. (this I hope for) A reset that forces the human race to take a step forward in our evolution, leading to a few centuries of peace and prosperity.
Although all of this carries a major caveat. (You have to survive the troubles to see any possible good stuff)
Cheers all.
