Mankind’s Downfall will Start This Century!

*Hiragana Times CIA(Cynically Insulting Agency)

The dramatic effects of climate change are now taking place around the world. British doctor Charles MANSFIELD, an authority in geophysics, warns that mankind will not be able to adapt quickly enough to changes to the earth, if this trend continues.


CIA: Is the earth’s situation that dangerous?

Dr.: That’s right. Forests are disappearing rapidly. If forests disappear, rivers will flood more easily and land masses will change. This will in turn bring about great changes in ecosystems, including those of fish and birds. On the other hand, sea levels are rising due to global warming. Only living creatures that are able to adapt to this change will survive.

CIA: Then, what will happen to human beings?

Dr.: You know about the theory of evolution, don’t you? The first organisms on earth adapted to nature and gradually evolved over millions of years into human beings. From now on mankind will gradually change and transform into a different species.

CIA: What creature will Man evolve into?

Dr.: Animals on land evolved from fish. Fish fins evolved into legs or feathers. As you know, glaciers in Greenland and the North Pole are starting to melt and sea levels will continue to rise. Human beings will have to evolve to live in the sea.

CIA: So, do you think human beings will return to being fish?

Dr.: That’s right. Hands will evolve into fins again and our brain capacity will gradually decrease. Then, human beings, who will by that stage have lost their wisdom and knowledge, will be incompetent and unable to fend for themselves in the ocean. They will be targeted by predators and will be running from them forever.

CIA: Are there any good ideas to prevent this crisis?

Dr.: I’m afraid not. Unfortunately, mankind created civilization, which can exist only by the continuation of progress. To make sure civilization continues, the existence of large amounts of natural resources become necessary. In other words, civilization continues due to the continual consumption of earth’s resources. Soon oil reserves will dry up and forests will disappear. It’s only a matter of time before mankind consumes the whole earth.

CIA: Can’t we stop this progress?

Dr.: When you look back at history, you will find it is impossible. Different races have fought each other over natural resources. Human beings are greedy animals always struggling for a better life even if it means colonizing other countries. Humans are fundamentally obeying the law of the jungle in a similar ways as the animals. Even now, many countries in the world are scrambling to secure oil supplies. Human beings, whose greediness has developed abnormally, are actually the ugliest of animals.

CIA: Would you say that human beings are inferior to animals?

Dr.: Yes, wild animals don’t hunt for more than they need. They know they will not survive if they exterminate the animals they feed on. Animals have survived by respecting the blessings of nature. On the contrary, human beings cannot stop until they have eaten and consumed all the blessings of nature on earth for their own selfish greedy needs. Becoming fish again will be a rather welcome and progressive evolutionary step for human beings.
