4. climate change is irreversible.
Neither the world's economy nor its ecosystems can any longer support 6 billion people.

An unprecedented human die off is coming sooner rather than later. We're talking 97% of humankind perishing. This can not be changed or avoided. It will happen within the next century.

The super wealthy know this. Indeed, they've worked hard to shape the dimensions of the catastrophe. Their plan is to survive as a ruling elite with a couple hundred million others to serve as a slave class.

In short, we "the people" are expendable. Our rulers don't want us to revolt completely, which could upset their plans for survival and pre-emeinence in the coming new world, so they mollify us with the superficial trappings of life as usual. But as the end nears, they will hoard more and more of civilization's treasure, and cut more and more people out of any share at all.




Or maybe not.
