(TOKYO)SECTION I: CLIMATE AND CIVILIZATION
In Mesopotamia around 2800 B.C., the weather became drier and the climate started to change to aridification while people had been already engaged in irrigated agriculture.
Due to this aridification, people needed more large-scale and effective irrigation systems, resiting in formation of cities and civilization. It is well known that ancient Mesopotamian people were good at calculation. Especially a large city was built in Ur in 2700 B.C. Crop yields in Mesopotamia in 2400 B.C. reached an average of 2500 liters per hectare which is similar to those found in today's North America.
However, due to salt damage, crop yields in Mesopotamia in 2100 B.C. dropped to 40% of its highest record. Accordingly, in 2000 B.C., the Sumerian Civilization collapsed and Abraham left Ur.
In summary, an unfavorable climate change gave impetus for further development of human society and culture. People met a crisis and faced a challenge to overcome it (until 4000 years ago).
What destroyed one great system of agriculture-based civilization is however human-induced (failed irrigation) salt damage on agriculture fields.
Nonetheless, from this failure, one man named Abraham emerged in history to be the origin of the history that has continued to date.
Yet, without emergence of the Son of God at the middle point of the history, namely 2000 years ago, the legacy of Abraham must have been lost with hope of establishment of future civilization, mostly the European/American/Islamic Civilization.
SECTION II: US Employees by Industrial Sector
Though American population is growing, the number of workers in the manufacturing sector is decreasing.
IT workers have not accounted for any remarkable share or occupied a significant portion in the labor market.

However, a gap in the mind set between Americans in various sectors seems to be overwhelmingly widened since 1990's.
Yet, as basically work is for producing foods or goods or providing care, the American society seems to be moving to the opposite direction to Utopia.
But, here I will point to one factor: if America is completely isolated from the outer world by closing the door for any reasons, the number of wealthy Americans will shrink by 70% or two thirds at least.
