A trillion of a trillion of a trillion of a second!

At the Olympics humans are running faster, brake a week old world record skiing down hill, the 400 meter freestyle is now covered in 4/10 of a second faster, the newest Trans-Atlantic Ocean Liner has accomplished the fastest crossing ever and the universe was created in a trillion of a trillion of a trillion of a second.

So, I ask you: "What is left?"
Oh yeah, Wall Street traders can now make split second speculative decisions mostly favoring themselves. So, is capitalism on the verge of burning out. Are we as a species?- simply since there is so little to do faster, quicker, better, grander?

While pondering that thought let me point to our inability to truly recycle. The oceans are being used as a dumping space for the maritime world - ships dumping excess oil and plastic material. How do I know? Remember mystery flight 370? While searching the Indian Ocean, the only things being picked out by satellite and radar was trash from fishing trawlers and debris from freighters. Just imagine what lies on the bottom of these oceans.
We already know that world's big cities are struggling with traffic pollution and industrial smog, and that Duke cannot control its coal-ash reservoirs - now spilling over into streams and ponds we (and all the other life around us) need for drinking water.

So again: "What's next?"
Have I mentioned world's overpopulation? No, not of rats and roaches, but of humans. Currently, the
overall total stands at 7.5 billion and in a couple of extra decades there will be 9+ billion of us.

See, all we seem to focus on is $$$$$. Lotteries, fraudulent manipulation of funds, theft and the huge bonuses for CEOs, while the lower end of out society is getting poorer.

What does the reader think? What comes after capitalism? Where do we go from here?
