It's not just the economy. It's everything. Modernity is like a train that's speeding towards the edge of a cliff. We can only slow down or speed up the train. We can't stop it, and we can't derail it. Within decades we're going to be living in a world where nanotech and biotech is going to give any person the ability to create weapons of mass destruction. The global intelligence community knows this, but they can't do anything about it because you can't stop or derail the train. Uncle Ted saw this coming.
