Are we heading toward a new Dark ages?
Here a lot is spoken about overpopulation as if the problem is generalized when it is really more a third world problem than anything else and environmental degradation that again a lot of it is happening in the third world as well. But beyond this there really complex social problems at work here such as the loss of principles, morals and values that for eons kept societies together.
As this principles that date as far back a even before we invented the wheel keep eroding we see more and more disturbing things on the news. A few days back I read how a social worker had to stop a 9 year old third grader from using a knife to try to rape a female companion of the same age. 9 Years old! That a 9 year old would even be harboring such ideas was unheard off decades ago.
As crime and corruption just keeps growing it will get to a boiling point where society and civilization completely collapses upon itself and we are already seeing it. We will see power hungry groups,in the United states and everywhere vying for power. Cities will become totally unlivable as even the most basic of services falter. Don't believe it? Take a look at what happened to New Orleans after Katrina when it became no man's land with armed thugs, stealing, maiming, raping and killing. That' the future for all cities in the planet as order around the globe collapses.
Food production will come to a screeching halt once this takes place and unimaginable famine will set in as well, diseases will run more rampant than ever before. On a lighter note to many here it will effectively take care of the overpopulation problem that plagues the third world brutally but effectively none the less. It is likely that by the time the new dark ages period comes to an end there will be no more than 10,000 or so humans left in the whole planet.
