Read the Endgame Premises for a good idea of where I stand. I agree with each premise fully. I have tried to pick holes in them, but the holes I pick are not significant enough to alter my opinion. Nor are the holes I can pick actually based on my honest understanding of how things are, so they are not convincing to me.

Arguments with the premises can be carried out in comments to this page, if such is your wish.

I elaborate on my understanding of the premises a little in this post, from August 2008.
