Just because civilization doesn't collapse this year, it doesn't mean the obvious, terminal problems the article alludes to disappear. But go ahead and assume that's the case if you like, I don't want to cramp your personal 'truth'.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get ya.

Terrible things can happen without anyone really being 'out to get ya'.

I'm more a fan of Adams' Law of Slow-Moving Disasters.

Sounds a bit like the same old blind techno-optimism and unfounded faith in human progress, being used to justify being selfish, lazy and greedy.
