#3 If you read the headlines on today's Rantburg, one would think 2040 would be a best case scenario. Try 2030.

#7 Club of Rome BS. We were all supposed to have starved by now.

No doubt the only way to avoid our fate is (as always) to willingly enslave ourselves.

Say you are an Uber level Elitist with lots $$$$$.

What steps would you take to ensure you and yours continue to be in control?

Maybe? Like buying massive amounts of land with rivers for mini hydro-power plants, in northwestern/ mid-western states. Then setting up enclaves (principalities) in remote but well armed controllable locations?

Whom has been doing that a lot in the last 20 years?

#13 I always wanted to be Hari Seldon. I read Asimov's books about the time I was learning physics and just loved the idea of knowing the equations of history. Probably more statistical mechanics than Newton's Three Laws, but still... hey, maybe we could train a neural network!
