The human species will likely survive in spite of itself, though in a world warped by the bitter cruelties of our ruling classes. We may in fact go on surviving quite a bit longer than some prognosticators may imagine.

No creatures but humans have ever had the resources to create a peaceful world amidst the chaos of natural history.
