What I mean is that I had this "feeling", not even a belief, that if things go bad for everyone, then whomever is in charge will finally realize that shit's going sideways, and pull the plug on it. I'm saying feeling rather than belief cause I don't think I ever really believed that ; instead it's probably more of a remnant from childhood when there was always someone to save us in the end.

> the final thousand feet was horrifying—steep sugar snow that collapsed beneath our feet as we battled upward, unable to down-climb, and unable to find protection or anchors. On the summit, with the immaculate expanse of the range unfolding in every direction, Scott turned to me and said, in complete seriousness, “I want my mom so bad right now.”
- mistermann 5y ago> it's probably more of a remnant from childhood when there was always someone to save us in the end I have this very same feeling now and then. I wonder if you and I are the only ones. Or, is this particular way (how we are feeling it) the only manner in which this......whatever it is manifests in reality? Or might this be some component, one among perhaps thousands of others (or even more, or maybe much less) that keeps humanity at this local maxima trajectory that seems (so they say) headed for some sort of major calamity, on more than one front.
