Annotation

The pyramid approach to future evolution with most people being left in the cold would seem to match the few will be chosen theme of apopcalytic prophecies. I think that this, like most prophecies are based on how things will turn out if they continue as they are. Presently, on a macro-level, humanity is operating on the principles of a group of wild dogs tearing at a piece of meat. If a change is made where rationalization prevails, then I think the few will be chosen scenario will not apply as it is inconsistent with using the conscience as a regulatory vehicle (also described as love). There is a movie called Zardoz which explores the psychological implications of a pyramid approach based on human entities being excluded from the future. A better pyramid version would have our machinery and technology as the expanding base.
