Extinct horse. Florida Museum of Natural History. Gainesville, Florida.

 

Raising the extinct horse from the dead is a task similar to what governments are attempting to do right now with the corpse of capitalism. Capitalism is dead. No amount of desperation will resurrect capitalism. It is time to move on.

 

I'm sure that the ancient horse never imagined that its kind would ever go extinct. In the same way modern humans imagined that prosperity was their birthright and they would never lose it regardless of how recklessly they lived and how frivolously they wasted the world's resources.

 

In this world time only flows in one direction. Those things which die stay dead. Capitalism is gone. Technological civilization is crumbling. The American empire is dying.

 

Civilization's Terminal Depression has begun. If you think that times are bad wait until you see what's coming.

 

There is no happy ending. Humans have lived foolishly and self-destructively and our species will pay the ultimate price for its sins.

 

Humankind will become as extinct as this horse. The only difference is that there won't be any museums to preserve our memory in the post-human world.
