My job as a writer is to make people think. That is what I do.

I could tell you what is actually going to happen.

1. Within the next 5 years, natural disasters are finally going to put climate change on the agenda, but it will be too little too late.

2. Within the next 6 years, Pandemic number 2 will hit us, and it will be hard.

3. Within 8 years, goods are going to be in such short supply that violence, civil wars, and even national wars break out. Mad men will rule.

4. Within 10 years, a mega city will burn to the ground. Millions will die.

5. After that, the world’s population will shrink to between 75% and 50% of what it is now.

6. There will be hell on earth.

The problem is not greed. The problem is the need for status, admiration, adulation, etc. As we give that to people who are wealthy, the most desperate people for status, admiration, etc. will do anything to get it. Why do you think that Bill Gates thinks it’s a horror story to be taxed $100 billion out of his $108 billion. He would feel bare if he wasn’t amongst the richest man on earth.

There s absolutely nothing I write about that isn’t doable. It’s only the will to do it that is lacking.
