End of the WORLD! Or at least the part we like

Have you ever contemplated the end of human life? Who will do it? When will it happen? Where will it start? There isn't an answer for most of the questions that arise, but I think it would be a safe bet to say that human life may not make it much further than a few more centuries, if that. It's quite a sad subject, but it may be true.

Think about it. Over the past century, we have begun using fossil fuels, and subsequently have started to run out. That's 100 years of industrialization and we are already close to expending the last of the one resource that keeps the world running. OIL.

There really is no logic behind why we continue to use this resource the way we do. It kind of goes back to the thought that as an individual, we are smart, and as a society, we are stupid. We somehow cannot bring ourselves to come together and do something innovative, and instead keep delaying the inevitable. How is it that we can continue like this?

Well, enough of this depressing subject.
