Reply #15: I agree with those saying it'll happen again....

Nature has a way of fixing itself. I must take polite exception to someone who replied that "This time it'll be us and not nature" or something along those lines--WE are nature too, whether we like to admit it or not.

I have a schadenfreude sort of glee imagining the humans trying to deal with the REAL world suddenly with all their cute little rules and I'll-sue-you fake safety summarily removed. Finally, real, functional, practical intelligence would MATTER. Of the survivors of the catastrophe, whatever it was, only the smart and the strong would survive long-term--and credit score, fancy car, and expensive degree would be the useless trappings that they should be. It'd be the long-mocked tree-huggers the spoiled insulated shell-shocked fat cats would have to come crawling to, for food and water and how on Earth to set a broken bone.
