    Millions of people in large urban centers move around and consume as if everything were normal. The world's serious ecological problem does not hold them back. We can think that the day we cross the prohibition sign, everything will end in an instant and then we will realize that it could not work. We all continue to be alienated by the easy life and consumerism. Soon, small countries will show the first signs of crisis. Since humans endure the most severe conditions, continuity will never be questioned. The few chosen by their Will will cohabit in a new, later Era.
