Each failure that has a high probability of occurring over the next 10 years will serve to weaken any society that is reliant on integrated complexity for its economy to continue functioning in service to the general population. Cascading failures will accelerate the demise of political stability and rapidly lead to the fracturing of varied interests into self-organizing units of survival cells. As it becomes readily apparent to people that the past is no longer prologue and the future is unimaginable based on learned experience from the last 10,000 years of human struggle everything that was once stable will disintegrate everywhere in rapid succession. Can we imagine the demise of college football ; the impossibility of continuing baseball in summertime; the foolishness of golf, tennis, and organized professional sports as the planet burns, drowns, and quakes with political turmoil. Gone will be our blissful summer days by the sea, our autumn excursions to view the colorful fall foliage. Even a simple coffee at a little cafe will be a lost dream. Eating a dead possum will be a banquet.
