I have written ad nauseum about experts' predictions of one form or another of Doomsday later this century, less than three generations away. [1] I have made appeals for super-rich people whose wealth was not ill-begotten to fund my comprehensive strategy to end war and human misery while emphasizing that I had no financial interest and would play the role of a non-paid consultant in the background.

Here are excerpts from my proposal:
