The one thing they couldn't have predicted, was the fall in price of
automobiles, that made these dystopian futures where no one could ride a
horse,  not only possible, but arguably inevitable.

C'mon now, the world moves on. If Western "post truth/there are no facts
only propaganda and false news designed to control your choices" leads
to the collapse of Western society, I am sure we can all look forward to
a 1000 years of serfdom in the new Islamic caliphate...

Remember Darwin is not about "survival of the fittest": It is about non
survival of those so dysfunctional that they met death before having a
productive shag.

You have to be *really* stupid for that. And yes, the modern generation
are, just about.
