I didn't mean to offend. But things getting worse just means that it is going to be harder and harder to ignore, meaning eventually people will have to take notice. It is the human condition that until things become seriously bad, nothing of real significance is going to happen. It is required that things get worse. It's how you eventually convince a critical mass of people to finally act. It's amazing to me that a man of your intelligence hasn't noticed that pattern after all this time. How much will be irrevocably lost before that happens? You got me. But something else about the human condition that I am acutely aware of and have firsthand experience with is that we humans are adaptable to what would have seemed impossible conditions under which to live before if forced to. People have gotten way too soft in their cushy existence to be honest, but humanity can and will learn how to rough it again. It's not like it hasn't been done like a billion times in history.

All that aside, if betting on history repeating itself for like the billionth time and the belief that mankind is capable of truly miraculous, mystifying things when necessity dictates makes me a goofy clueless idiot than so be it. I've been called way worse. I have reams upon reams of evidence proving my point as well. I could probably get offended by some of your pretty insulting assertions as well, but I choose not to. As far as I am concerned, we're good.
