In reply to the discussion: Why Godzilla matters [View all]RobertEarl
(13,685 posts)4. The human race can not survive
The pace of the race we are running is not sustainable.
It will run out of cheap energy in time. Probably soon. That end of cheap energy coupled with the pollution, altered seashores and possible nuclear weapon responses to rising land and resource grabs, will knock us off our pedestal and leave us crawling. The race will be over, the dog will have eaten the dog, the rats will have won.
The survivors will be the new cavemen and women who will begin anew the race our society has been running for going on a thousand years now.
Probably with an altered genome which in evolutionary history will denote an end of one race of humans and the progression of another new race of homo E.
And that's being optimystic (sic) and hopeful.

Loved the old Godzilla movies too. Godzilla, King Kong and other monsters are modern day Titans
