Some animals, some of the mice were starting to starve, even though there was an abundant amount of food.

And I'll shorten the story to the end point.

The end point was the entire colony collapsed.

They stopped reproducing entirely.

The beautiful ones dominated to the point where they got so obese and so unable to actually go out and get water and things of that nature, they died and the entire colony ended.

None of them made it.

Pritzker, I heard you.

So basically, we're at the end point of an experiment.

In that particular epoch in the late 1960s, there was a lot of interest in zero population growth, Malthusian things like that.

The Great Population Bomb book was very popular.

It still is.

It still is.

Unfortunately, there are people that are in positions of power that I've met.

And I can tell you, they absolutely believe that.

And they believe it even more as we go into the next 5,000 days.

If we have robotics going,

serving humans, we all become the beautiful ones.

Maybe almost like Wally World, the Disney movie where we're all in wheelchairs and all we do is consume.

One of the reasons why I am writing this series, you have 5,000 days to the end of work as we know it, is to mentally condition us to what we need to face and how we need to be in this transition.

it is either going to be the end of world meaning all technology goes and we go back to the stone age or we're going to have this world and if you're cheering on the end of the world fine you can go and do that and hope that we're all you know fred and barney and wilma
