I don't know how long, but I'm still hopeful. Humanity has gone from small groups of nomadic family groups, to early city states housing thousands, to countries uniting millions. The mediocrity of modern capitalism makes us forget what we've achieved through the millenias.

The radical transformation we are provoking on our ecosystem will humble us and push us as a specie to adapt yet again. It'll be quite a ride and who knows what's on the other side.
