7. So we're counting on
"Our problems are manmade -- therefore, they can be solved by man."

the problem to be the solution? No wonder history repeats itself.

As long as we have relatively cheap energy, or an alternative that is as cheap and can power a modern nation-state, we'll be alright. Other than the pollution and other problems resulting from using those resources(everything has an up and down side, nothing is perfect).

But if and when that disappears, we're back to being slaves in a Kingdom. Wait...well, 3rd century slaves anyway.

How can you not be a "defeatist" when faced with the question of civilization?
