    Humanity won’t end, we’re far too resilient. The age of human civilisation as we understand might very well end though.

        Honestly the best chance the planet has left versus our continued survival. I was hoping we could avoid purge/culling/mad-max levels of absurdity, yet here we are. I’m truly a monster for bringing my children into this world, and worse for trying, but failing, to raise them accordingly.

        IE, I think they are more good people versus being tenaciously intent on survival at all costs. The species needs more of both, I guess.

            I wanted them to teach others that tenacity, to lead by example when it comes seizing life by the horns in the face of adversity. Yeah, I should’t be too upset that they have been too comfortable until these last 6 weeks.

            Maybe I should have raised them to be leaders in adition to being decent people, although the one supervises a bunch of cashiers at 16, so guess they’ll be alright, if not contagiously so. My personal aversion to positions of authority did not rup off on them.
