The collapse of one way of life

And the birth of another.

The collapse is inevitable to many. It is mostly economic, but also cultural. The world continues on, to include people all around the world being themselves. The old days of western type domination, be it European colonial, USA economic domination, or military victory in the last World War, has brought us to the point we in the world, the human world, are today. Now others count, too, more than maybe they used to be in western terms.

It is the “birth of another” question I think about. Do we humans descend into anarchy, where the “new” governments usually come from. I hope not, since anarchy is not a good thing for most of humans and our families and quality of life. I still like having the electric refrigerator and freezer working 24/7, for example.

And I still think the USA Constitution is a good way for humans to go in the future. It seems to balance all our human foibles with human reality. And only the willingness of citizens to support it will sustain it. It is just that simple.

So what is going to happen in the next ten years? Nobody knows for sure. There are lots of wild cards. For example consider a civil war in China and if it goes nuclear, then the probable downwind irradiation pattern over Japan and later Hawaii.

I just hope we can survive anarchy and make our future quality of life as good, or better, than it may be today.

Now does that take a political organization like the U.N., or an idea. My vote is for the “idea”.

Now “voting” is another new world “future human” idea. The alternatives are like revolution, civil war, and murder and “pitch forks” in the streets as the low lifes and criminals come out…maybe even a few partisans, too.

I think the above translates as: There is no dead end and there is no insurmountable difficulties, to subdue the enemy without
