Oh, absolutely. Humans will prevail. But right now the forest is on fire and many of us are the small bits on the forest floor that will be completely consumed by the oncoming fire. The destruction will test the perseverance of everything and the burgeoning that follows will be another minor Renaissance, like the period between WW2 and the Internet. When ignorance reigns and sequels are the only entertainment, expect the worst.

How many died before France got the revolution it needed to eventually make things better?

How many need to die right now for shit to happen so things finally start improving?

We might prevail in the end, but how long will we suffer in the meantime?
