If the bozos who rule 95% of the surface of the earth get their way even
once until then we may have to start over @Neanderthal five thousand times
over in the following billion years. There are some theories about this
being the case with us right now (i.e. we are not the 1st to be smart
here). Of course there is no proof but it's a little bit selfish to think
otherwise imho.
