[Mind's Eye] Re: are we as a global society moving forward or backward?

All the genetics are in place, we just need to revise our behavior. Kinda 
like getting out of the path of a freight train, it just makes sense, the 
longer you wait you increase the likelihood of injury and increase into 
amazing feats required to escape it. At a certain point the balance gets 
very sensitive to collapse, like the traction of your shoes, physical 
fitness, small obstacles, a single oops that ordinarily you would just brush 
off your trouser from and... consider our quality of life dependent on the 
Earth's natural environment running robust and productively. They were 
genetically fit so cockroaches inherit the Earth. :)) "I do not believe in a 
capricious God who would provide a plentiful Earth and take it away." 
(paraphrased politician recently) Seriously, put that guy in a sealed 
container and let him pray for more air- what an idiot!
