Considering the nature of the curve that tracks our history on the planet, and the development of the kind of technology which we are referring to, there is nothing to be learned by a look in the rear view mirror. More important then being equipped with the ability to develop tools, is our ability to use reason. *That* is what evolution has provided us with as our survival tool. Talk of an inevitable tsunami in an admission that there is something afoot that is beyond the control of our reason. I am unready to make that admission.
