I find this analogy to be incorrect and extremely muddled at best and insensitive at worst. Betting on the Mayans to what? As a civilization? They are one of the few civilizations to invent writing and create a robust arithmetical system and number theory as well as sophisticated astronomical methods. To cease existing? Nah, they never disappeared and their descendants are many.
To be destroyed by the Spanish Inquisition? Okay that one makes sense. Just saying. Oh and I agree with the message of the article but not the tone.
