9. If the only way to prevent war is war, then the planet is doomed, as the SciFi writers have said.

There is no diplomacy among madmen.

And we now see a world dominated by them.

IF people wise up to this, the planet will survive.

Otherwise, the world will continue to divide along lines of nationalism, religious hatred, race hatred and oligarchy, which are EASILY exploited to peoples' own loss and suffering. It's the fascist playbook, that gets played over, and over, and over again.

And bye, bye!

We can make a choice right here. Just one? you say?
It all has to start somewhere.
Or it doesn't.

Survival of the nicest.
