Re: "After the collapse of civilisation and an extended period of barbarianism, industrialised society will begin to rise again."

Questionable. Civilization rose the first time because metals and energy sources were readily obtained from the immediate environment. Now, all the "low hanging fruit" in terms of raw materials has been plucked. Explain to me how civilization is going to rise again if the only way to extract iron ore in useable quantities is strip mining and sophisticated chemical extraction techniques?

Face it, dude. Once civilization collapses mankind is history.
