Your civilization has entered a golden age?

Thursday, 10 January 2008 Jacob Tomaw

Scott Adams thinks our food, gold, and building production are about to double dispite what others might think:

One view of the near future is that terrorists will get nukes and set the atmosphere on fire, or global warming will kill us all, or bird flu will create a pandemic, or the world economy will melt down, or all of those disasters will happen at once. I suppose that’s possible. But I think it’s more likely we are entering a golden age.

I like his arguments.

If we do enter a golden age, I suggest we build The Great Pyramids so we have a granary in every city.

(Please read Scott’s post even if you find my CIV references annoying.)
