Indeed they won’t, if events don’t take a non-linear turn first.
I used to post: Will the last European die in a Chinese zoo, or over a cannibal’s spit.
My guess is there will be a few non-linear tricks in our future, and when the dust settles, the total population will be a lot lower, and ratios will be rearranged.
It will take brains and organization to stay alive after the power goes out.
This is the way the world ends.
This is the way the world ends.
This is the way the world ends.
Not with a bang but a whimper.
