Do you think we'll have another dark age(s)? Or are we past that kind of stuff?

[AAA]

So, you think our energy source(s) will survive and be freely available to maintain either our current level of existence, or the current trend upward?

And, no nuclear and/or biological or even extraterrestrial event will significantly set us back?

Not trying to put words in your mouth, but at times it seems like we are almost a house of cards waiting to topple, to me, in some ways.

Now, the 1984 Orwellian society angle...some of us are certainly THERE, now. But will that rule crumble first or be the only people to survive?
