There have been many many collapses of civilizations since man started making them. Egypt, Rome, Easter Island, Greenland, Incas, Anasazi, Khmer, etc. In fact, most large civilizations have collapsed, and for very similar reasons: over consumption of resources. We're doing the same thing, but on a global scale and consuming food, wood, land, oil, etc at ever increasing rates. A global collapse of civilization seems quite likely to me, and it won't be pretty.

It's clear with your vast background in both NSA's technical capabilities and CIA's clandestine activities, that Gen Flynn should have consulted with you before talking to the media and making a fool of himself.

Somebody mod parent up already. I'm all out of points.

It's up to you to not pass the laws for which we lobby.

And once they fix those two things, it'll be 100% secure with no need to test! Brilliant!

Predicting is hard, especially about the future.
