Hey Bud, How's The World Gonna End?

We are going to destroy ourselves. Wars and illness, everything that we are producing - it's all killing us. The food that we have been growing and eating, all of the clothes

We are going to destroy ourselves. Wars and illness, everything that we are producing—it’s all killing us. The food that we have been growing and eating, all of the clothes that we wear, it is all part of our death. In 50 years we will have killed ourselves. Look at what we have done to nature, to the woods, to the animals. We have created a world that is contingent upon destruction. In a couple of years we will have run out of food to eat, contaminated our water, polluted our air. We cannot stop. The kings of industry will not subside in their greed and unfortunately they have no regard for the welfare of the planet and the human race.

I think that the world is going to end in nuclear war. Conventional aggression is becoming futile, and there is so much black market access to chemical and nuclear weapons, and so much money behind people’s hate that it is going to boil down to one attack triggering another and the cataclysmic chain of events that follow will ultimately destroy the world as we know it. This will all happen in the next 150 years.

I think that in 2050, after the US has backed out of power, China will have taken hold, and you will have an epic power struggle between what will be the Chinese Empire and the religiously unified Middle East. It won’t be one major explosion or anything. One act of aggression will lead to a series of nuclear fallouts and it will become the ultimate world war when it snowballs into Armageddon. The cockroaches will take over, as they will be all that is left.

Dinosaurs had their time until the Ice Age. Then there were mammals. All through this insects have been able to flourish. Insects have been patiently biding their time. They are unselfish beings. They care about their colonies. These things can carry 100 times their body weight, and while we are busy worrying about our problems, they have been patiently waiting; they have the numbers and they are ready to take over. It is only a matter of time before nature sets their ascension in motion via some disease that they give us, crippling our population and letting them move in. Give them 100 years. We don’t have long.
