That's why the Travelers never succeed They keep removing the *triggers* of the apocalypse - an asteroid strike, a nuclear war, a plague - but the future refuses to change There's just too many ways for us to fail Human society is like a giant Jenga tower

It's never one dramatic thing that instantly kills off humanity It's just a series of tests we fail one after another, with each one making the consequences of the last worse Every failed system exposes the flaws and weaknesses of all the others

I read this in a specific voice and I can't remember whose it is. Maybe from Fight Club.

Oh gotcha - I was initially thinking it was one of Tyler Durden's speeches, but the more I think on it, the more I think it was The Narrator in his monologue about travel and insomnia and his insurance job.

It's definitely not Tyler, does not sound like something he would say somehow.

Yea, I'm pretty sure it's in that monologue towards the start of the film when Ed's character is talking about his job doing insurance adjusting for car crashes.

Specifically the car company he works for knows the cars are defective safetywise and have killed people in accidents His job is to look over the details of the accidents and do a risk assessment to see how likely a class action suit is in the future

The fact that this is his job is one reason he's so cynical and unhappy, that he's helping fuck people over by reducing their deaths to numbers and it's constantly thinking about violent death for his job
