Regis, fantastic that you have a relationship with Maria and could bring her on. I am in Maria's camp relative to doing something. You despair that we are two days away from a nuclear event, but Maria calls for a revolutionary movement. Quite the contrast. I think people want democratic destiny and would rally if given a coherent call. If we don't rally we are doomed, as you say, maybe to actual extinction, but I think it is more likely we / civilization degrades to techno-totalitarianism, into a technocratic dystopia, where humanity is coopted by tech / machine.

This is an excellent analysis. Thank you for putting the situation together. Much appreciated!
