I agree that the current way of managing things, most things, is not sustanable. That seems to be about the only thing we agree on. The "model" we operate under does not work long term. The reason it doesn't is because it assumes that an ever expanding human population, along with an ever expanding economy, can exist in a finite world. And those numbers do not crunch. The Eve of Destruction will likely occur due to war, pandemics, massive famine and starvation due to climate change with too many people trying to live in marginal environments. I think this is the most probable outcome, given current trends.
