The End of Industrial Civilization

It is extremely obvious to me that human civilization is ephermal. It will end one day. And its ending is probably much closer than (almost anyone) could have expected. I realized that human civilization is fundamentally unsustainable and irredemably corrupt. There is really no way to justify the existence of human civilization from any ethical perspective.  How is it ethical for a handful of corrupt psychopaths to completely control our society? It simply isn't. And therefore these BS religions (like Christianity, Hinduism and every other religion imaginable) and political ideologies (like capitalism and democracy) are invented to justify the status quo. The elites claim that their control over society is given to them via some supernatural authority. But it isn't. They need the justification of "divine authority" to justify their control over human society. But any intelligent person knows that there is no God/gods. There never was. And there never is. J...

Well, of course, yes! It is obvious that humans will go extinct one day. Every species on this planet eventually goes extinct. And humans are no exception to this rule. Human "ingenuity" will not do a damn thing to prevent our extinction from happening. Because technology cannot do a damn thing for solving industrial civilization's fundamental problems (like overpopulation, resource depletion, social/economic inequality, environmental degradation, etc). Keep in mind that technology is a by-product of available resources (energy or otherwise). And the vast majority of resources that human technology is made out of is finite and nonrenewable...meaning that there is only a limited amount of these resources (hence being finite). And these resources don't replenish nearly as fast as they are being used up (hence being nonrenewable).  Is peak oil real? Yes, it is. And it is happening exactly because oil is finite and nonrenewable. Hence, the more oil is being exploited, the...
