Is there life on, ahem, Earth?

Elon Musk (!!!) seems to agree with some kind of John Michael Greer-esque perspective here. Note that "latter" must be a reference to "whimper" rather than to "bang", suggesting that Musk believes in a gradual decline of world civilization (at least up to a point!). Of course, he still wants to save us by going to Mars, und so weiter.

Still, when one of the leading American capitalists tries to capitalize on an idea usually associated with a backwoods archdruid, you know something has changed in the "matrix"!
