Slash and burn may be an inherent feature of human civilization or it may be one forced upon us (I favor the latter). I believe every great period of advancement has been preceded by nearly cataclysmic events. Yet somehow, enough seeds of humanity have emerged on the other side of the bottleneck to continue, even prosper.

At the precipice, some will comprehend and take heed. I believe most will not. If you do not turn from the precipice, what happens? You go over; buh bye.
