"The tremendous and still accelerating development of science and technology has not been accompanied by an equal development in social, economic, and political patterns...It is safe to predict that...such social inventions as modern-type Capitalism, Fascism, and Communism will be regarded as primitive experiments directed toward the adjustment of modern society to modern methods" ~ Dr. Ralph Linton

"While all other sciences have advanced, that of government is at a standstill - little better understood, little better practiced now than three or four thousand years ago." ~ John Adams

I hope the robots do take over

[xgelytotx]

just watch nearly ten mins so far.... our population boom isnt because of fossil fuels, its because of health care , infant/child mortality rates are much lower than a hundred years ago and ppl are living longer, that in my opinion is the reason for the population boom.

Oh John. We can't run out of water, it's not possible. We live in a closed system, unless our atmosphere is stripped away. We may dirty our water, we may pollute it. But, the same amount of water will always be here, until that day that the Sun strips our atmosphere from Earth. You are not thinking clearly. We will, no doubt, have to purify our water before we can consume it, but it's still water. A new business is born! An opportunity for jobs! You don't belong with these other guys, sorry.

@firstpriorities1 Lol last time I was home I would walk by the beach every so often: There was literally water as far as I could see. It was even falling out of the sky. This guy just spends too much time measuring stuff in streams.

[sarahlivesey]

amen

It's all possible except for the robot guy, but the earth and everything in it belongs to GOD. GOD is responsible for the rise and fall of empire's and nations.

Solution= Pray and stay close to, and obey GOD. It's just that simple!

[Diablo2410]

@bryanrb57 The topic of artificial intelligence becoming self-aware and "taking over" is a possibility. The solutions to any of these issues aren't simple at all. It won't be solved by any "supreme being". It's all on the American public to control and repair our nation.

We are about to get a huge lesson in humility and revert to more humble time.

We DO have alternatives to oil , and i'm not just talking wind or solar . There are other much better & powerful ways of creating energy . Look up Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor or Andrei Rossi & his new Cold Fusion . These are grate new ways that the world could have it's energy at a fraction of a cost of today ! Those are just 2 of many more technologies that NWO is suppressing from the world !

We still might need oil to make plastics or medicines -& not "wasting" oil for energy !

There isnt ONE of these individuals that I would take serious.

Water running out ? Bullshit. Water is finite.

[thejuice2003]

The Singularity theory isn't going to hold up if the other theories do hold up. We run out of oil and energy sources makes robot development redundant.

[KrunchyJD]

These guys might be predicting bad things. What I find a bit obsurd is some of their hypocritical actions, you have a guy predicting the ending of the oil age, riding in a taxi. You have a guy telling us that we should not be polluting water driving an SUV..

[Hoseannasogi]

@KrunchyJD: "What I find a bit obsurd is some of their hypocritical actions, .."

A case of "don't do as I do, do as I say", perhaps? - But such a disconnect does not prove in any way that what they *say* is wrong: it just might be the case that what they *do* is wrong...

Hydrogen power; problem solved

[Hoseannasogi]

@Frickitall: "Hydrogen power; problem solved"

Hydrogen is not a *source* of power, at best it can be used to store power. So the problem of having an energy *source* that can replace oil remains open.
