Imagine a bus that was headed toward a cliff at

80 km/hr,, but which is now: (a) far, far more

crowded than it was before, (b) is far, far closer
to the cliff, and (c) is now headed toward the
cliff at 89 km/hr.

sentient and intelligent species.

Next imagine the population at the

vast-open-space moment in time
denoted by the tiny white dot.

Which (if any) of even their brightest scholars

and most thoughtful leaders could have
imagined that it was already ‘too late’

or could have imagined that their numbers

had ALREADY peaked

or could have imagined either the proximity or the degree of the

99% die-offs and/or even-worse mass mortalities that were already at hand?
