Dr Turchin, you may be 'Profesor Doom' to the media class in their bubble who thought everything was fine until very recently; but to those of us in the working classes who can feel everything breaking and want the people running things to do a better job, it's quite the opposite: you actually bring hope.

I especially appreciate the effort you go to to bracket your own politics in order to follow the models and the data wherever they take you. I know that is hard and few academics are willing to do that these days.
