    I hope to god the current consumer 'civilisation' does collapse and, as a nice bonus, I'd quite like a large percentage of the population to disappear. That'd, in a very short time, resolve all the overwhelming problems that we face in the near future.

    But, whilst I guess I'd quite like some of what this Orlov says to be true, I can't help but interpret his eloquent rantings as the product of an embittered child of the failed Soviet Bloc. So, whilst what he says does resonate, it has to be taken entirely in that vein and, as moth says, it doesn't presage the utter collapse of all human civilisation. Just the dead-heading of the inefficient, greedy ends we've come to.
