I wouldn’t be so sure about robotics, Dan. Mechanical devices need to be powered by something. Even solar energy has to be created by means of man-made solar panels and other equipment. What is thought provoking is that most people living in advanced, industrialized societies do not know the basic tenants of survival; such as how to build a fire, hunt for food (if there is anything to hunt), grow crops, build basic shelters; and basic medical knowledge.

Most people are so tied to their high tech oriented devices, like cell phones and computers, that they would now know how to function without them. The American TV series, Revolution, when everything electrical suddenly stops working, just touches on this problem.

The controlling elite are the last to accept any fact as it flies in the face of their desired reality. We find them jumping out the windows of a tall buildings most times because they do not have what it takes to survive without a protective shell. Their arrogance makes them extremely easy targets under such circumstances. The layering of technology and criminal activity can only protect a group for so long. My grandmother used to say, “There is only one bull in the pasture. When he no longer serves a purpose, he goes to the slaughter house.” Every civilization falls, time absolutely proves that. Outside the continued, age-old attempts (intimidation, murder, rape, torture) of the elite to subdue others and take their resources, what purpose would they serve in a world after a true collapse?

Be wise. Be prepared. Develop meaningful skill sets.

This isn’t going to mean a collapse of civilization—the rich can confidently count on robotics to take up the labor loss within 20 years—, but a rationalization by the Gates, Zuckerbergs, Pages, and their apologists that the merciful thing to do is to blame the trouble on AGM (as they fly around in jets [“Hey, there aren’t that many of us!”] rather than their filthy rich selves, bandage the mortal wounds of the poor in a faux display of drama-queen anguish, and… let them die.
