I agree, Peter.
And there are conversations that have been started among a few about what to do... the most recent being a Dave Pollard piece themed on artistic improvisation. Carolyn Baker has written the book "Sacred Demise". There are transitional efforts underway in many small nooks of the world. Survivalists are busy buying MRE's and Glocks. And the the world's eighth largest superyacht, is owned by Paul Allen, the co-founder of Microsoft, to whom it was delivered in 2003. Octopus is the third largest superyacht that is not owned by a head of state, measuring 414 feet (126 m).
Octopus sports two helicopters on the top deck (one in front and one on the back), and a 63-foot (19 m) tender docked in the transom (one of seven aboard). The yacht also has a pool on board, located aft on one of her upper decks, and two submarines: one operated by remote control for studying the bottom of the ocean. Side hatches at the water line form a dock for jet skis.
I've seen some information that says that this boat is staffed by former Nacy SEALs. I have not confirmed whether or not there is a Korean with a steel-brimmed bowler or three black-belt blondes wearing nothing but titanium paint, but I imagine the whole thing is quite a spectre.
Personally, I'm into the sacred improvisational transition thing.
