what we are talking about is 100,000 ago when humanity went through an evolutionary bottleneck.
You know, I don't know if this makes me glad or not... but you will even live to see it if the models are right... due to what we are doing to the atmosphere. In fact, Gliese 589 will NEVER ever see a human step on any of it's worlds... by 2100 the changes in the atmosphere will be such, that indeed we will be in an extinction spiral not seen since 65 million years ago.
This is simple biology from what we know... apex species, we are one, don't survice mass extinctions.
What I am glad off though is I don't have kids, but certainly feel sorry for my nieces and nephews.
As to Mexico... my dear, we are ALMOST there. And all that money actually DOES NOT protect the rich in Mexico, why many of the Rich are LEAVING for safer places... And by the way I was not only born and raised down there, I travel there regularly.
By the way READ your OP, because if you are talking of an ECONOMIC crash, that is a very different critter, and then 1928-33 models become active, and we may well very well be on our way to one. And your OP does not even suggest the economic aspect of it.
