Should we cancel the lockdowns and allow the virus to spread unimpeded? Hear me out on this.

We stand on the brink of Armageddon. Diseases for which we have no cure. Fundamentalist states who call for our destruction. Nuclear powers over which we have no control. And even if we navigate these dangerous waters, we face other even more inevitable threats.

Global warming will melt the polar ice caps within 80 years, flooding 90% of all habitable areas on Earth. Unchecked population growth will overtake food production in less than 50 years, leading to famine and war. This is not conjecture, this is fact.

One way or another, our world is coming to an end. Now the question is: will we end with it?

I propose that we end the world. But on our terms. An orchestrated apocalypse. One that will cleanse the Earth of its population, but leave its infrastructure and resources intact. It's been done once before, with great success.

The chosen few will ride out the storm, not in an ark as in the Book of Genesis, but in safety underground. And when it's over, we will emerge onto a cleansed Earth, one that we can then reboot in our image.

How worried should we be really?
