    Ah yes the only two possible political systems, Chinese style autocracy or American Style Oligarchy.

      Clearly if it hasn’t been implemented before and doesn’t currently exist today, it’s impossible to ever happen. We live at the end of history, you see.

        We live at the end of history, you see.

        You say that in jest, but human civilization is coming apart on easy paradise mode, and even then it took us about 200,000 years of wandering around in the dirt to even start trying, and in trying we’re irrevocably destroying the place eyes wide open.

        The idea that humanity will exist as more than scattered animals clinging to old hardened structures having destroyed our temperate climate for millions of years is laughable. The insurance industry is having a stroke about its continued survival after just a few of the teensiest little tastes of our good, irreversible work.

        The long arm of recorded history is ending, by our own capitalist hands, for short term profit.

        We’re literally razing the forest so there will be no shade for future generations, only clinging to base survival on a hostile planet they probably won’t even know their ancestors were directly responsible for.

          Relax, bro.

          The octopi will inherit the Earth, and one day pick through our ruins!

          Assuming they evolve the ability to actually live after breeding at least. Kind of important for creating an enduring culture and educational system, though I suppose they might just evolve biological immortality first instead.
