Only at the precipice [moment of destruction] will people find the will to change, that famous line from The Day the Earth Stood Still:
Professor Barnhardt : Well that's where we are. You say we're on the brink of destruction and you're right. But it's only on the brink that people find the will to change. Only at the precipice do we evolve. This is our moment. Don't take it from us, we are close to an answer.
I chew on this all the time. What will be our precipice? Financial collapse, literally people seeing their assets gone? A terror attack(s) on US soil, having to defend our homes, worse yet invasion by foreign state? A real alien presence disclosed? True history revealed? Thoughts?
The internet and phones going out would send a bunch of people to the hospital in a straight jacket.
Yup, right you are. My people watching stares have lengthened. I just watch people with their heads in their phones and wonder when they will look up to see their surroundings.
