  Yeah but think about the stockholder’s value that they didn’t have in those past 19 mass extinctions.

    Well if humans are part of the mass extinction their share prices will not mean shit.

  And the shitty thing is, the people causing it will be the ones with the means to survive it.

    They won't, at some point money won't matter anymore. They think they've got it figured out with their bunkers in New Zealand and Hawaii and where not, but I don't see them having the skill set needed to survive in that scenario. They just think they do, having gotten rich in IT and being surrounded by yes-men ever since.

  I’ve got a new theory as to how many times Humanity has crashed into the Great Filter like a drunk college kid hitting a telephone pole on Memorial Day weekend.
