Atheist, autodidact, iconoclast, rationalist, pessimist-who deduces that ' the end times' for humans is fast approaching. Our putative 'intelligence' is looking like a biological dead end. Our unique ability to fashion tools & gadgets has been transformed into a liability, in the form of devastatingly destructive weapons. Furthermore, our uncontrolled reproduction is causing widespread species extinction, environmental destruction, & the rapid depletion of non-renewable resources.
