Maybe Nietzsche signaled the end of Western philosophy, but for me, the cultural bellwether is furries. When furries achieve mainstream social acceptance--which is to say, when casual interlocutors of mine cease to find them hilarious--I will know that civilization is over. Now that Rihanna's "S&M" is playing non-stop on the top-40 station, I think we are one step closer to that happening. If S&M subculture can be made into a fun pop song, furry pop hits must be just around the corner. Even these lyrics can be amenable. For example:
I am a wolf, I'm perfectly good at it
Sex with a bear, I love the smell of it
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But fangs and tails excite me
Well, it's a start, anyway. All I'm saying is that if we are doomed to be the last men, I would at least like a cut of the royalties.

As I recollect, Olaf Stapledon's First and Last Men does include a furry species of homo sapiens.
