How long it will last, and what the end result will be, I don’t have a clue. But I do believe that it will take all 7 ½ billion of us, working together, to solve the issues at hand. Tall order, to be sure. Then again, we have had some several hundred thousand years’ practice. And to date – despite all odds – we’re still here.
