I looked at the link to Georgia Guide Stones. It talks about the end of the world - really?

I'd rather plan the success of humanity than its demise. The universe is a violent place, so the end of the world could happen at any time. But that is beyond our control. The kind of economy we use is totally under our control. We are irresponsible to ourselves if we don't use the best plans we can conceive.
