Nope, could you enlighten me? In sounds very similar to what I have proposed.

If these "molemen" could last, what would they be like in 200k years? No eyes? Inability to handle solar radiation? Still have an inate inability to understand and live sustainably on the surface?

We have a strong possibility of a population collapse, especially if we continue that way we have. However, at this point in time we still have other options. That would involve a change in culture and the way we do things. Difficult but not impossible.
