I often think of it this way: The 21st century is going to be a war on the attention of humanity. Where civilization focuses its attention, I mean, that's what defines what the civilization cares about.

I think and hope there are far more people aware of the need to look after our future.

It will take a long time, and certainly the West will remain the dominant civilization well into the next century, but the decline is occurring.

At the rate we're going, the 21st century looks pretty clear. It's going to be pretty violent.

The only hope is that our civilization will collapse at a certain point, as always happens in history. Then, out of barbarity, a renaissance.

We all worry about the population explosion, but we don't worry about it at the right time.

What I worry about is climate change, because that would have untold effects that we can't even measure yet.

We need not be afraid of the future, for the future will be in our own hands.
