It’s sad that we can describe the extinction of other species, and see the pattern of destructive behaviours in those other species… but we seem to be blind to our own situation and follow, like the pied piper’s child victims, along the path of a new kind of mutual assured destruction. We live in interesting times.

People are already afraid. The exhortation to spend, spend, spend is almost unbelievable, but I heard it myself!
