Something interesting I came across recently during a bit of light reading on history and economics; "our current period of economic growth (200 years) represents only 0.01% of human presence on this planet". Obviously it went into a lot more detail than that, however it makes a valid point. Our current lifestyle that we enjoy is merely a blip on the scale of human history. People feel safe and assume that nothing can or will ever change. I don't know what the reason for this belief is, but it is a false sense of security. None of us are prepared for anything abnormal that could occur. We can't assume that our current economic system will never collapse or suffer a severe shock. It has happened countless times before and it can easily happen again. In fact, one could argue it will definitely happen eventually, as it is more horrendously unstable than it has ever been before.
