I favor the prophet. In hindsight, the technology of the wizards just digs us deeper and deeper into a hole. The Green Revolution of Borlaug left us with food barely fit to eat along with not being sustainable for the long run. I like my modern conveniences as much as anyone, but I realize the cost and understand it can’t continue, we as a society need to go back to less technical times, and prophets will be needed to lead us back to whence we need to be.
