That's the rub now. Insanity won't rule forever, because in the USA the pendulum swings between the center and insanity. But the huge damage done could be fatal because we only have 10 years before the tipping points set in and we go on an irreversible course toward the end of civilization. And in that decline there will be no further turnings. We can only swing so many times into insanity before the pendulum breaks. And each swing toward insanity is wider than before.

Yes, in global warming we have a driver that has no interest in our timelines or secondary issues.  The young have to know this.  So when do they finally take charge (we Boomers are already dying out and the Xers don't seem to care).  After all, it's their world.  We can't make them take it seriously if they won't.
