      When you understand how conditioning and fictional identity has warped humans into monsters, cripples or both, it's an endless fall into an abyss. Breathtaking. Insanity at the race level, and I mean race as in "homo sapiens".

      you aren't white, muslim, a vegan or any other bullshit thing you stupid fuckers. You really really aren't. You're all curled around all this bullshit, defending your illusions, lashing out at other idiots defending their illusions.

      Ah well, nothing really to be done. Not this time, anyway. Too late, everyone who tried failed. Maybe next time.Better than even odds it'll be next time for humans. Just remember that stories are stories next time, eh.

          And by survive, I mean continue to advance knowledge and technology. Even setting it back 10 years is hard to imagine, short of unimaginable nuclear war.

          you vastly underestimate how much can be lost, imo. Vastly.

          It's more about how big the world is. Civilisations have always fallen, but often elsewhere in the world, another was continuing. Yet it was never from such a position as this, where knowledge is so defusely spread.

          And very little is actually known to individuals. We are hyper specialized, the knowledge is harder to learn than it looks, and we have an extraordinarily complicated chain of creation.

          It's remarkable how little people know. Friend of mine was a true polymath. I remember him once musing on writing (anon) a book on how to kitchen brew the 20 most important medicines. Almost no one else could write that book.

          So long as it isn't instant thermonuclear war, We will have some warning and the capacity to do *something*. There will be a period where people wake up to the existential risk and start learning, archiving, sustainably storing knowledge.
