However, there is another factor that people did not take into account at that time.

"Material Prosperity" is something that has limits. Civilization in those terms is limited - because we live on a planet with finite resources.

In fact, the uncivilized, may have been better suited to living on the planet.

If mankind can now take the best of both worlds, we may survive.

Otherwise, one day there may be no more civilization because humans on earth will be extinct.

All that will remain is the quiet of a few organisms that have survived slowly recolonizing the planet.
