Complacency about the serious challenges the world is facing is not an option. But the idea that we are almost at the point of no return via the Doomsday Clock isn’t helpful.

Maybe humanity wasn’t meant to survive? We have all the high quality data and analysis, we refuse to act on it. We have helpful communication tools like the clock. Information is not the issue. The will to fight our uglier instincts has held everything up to now.
We should at least consider the possibility that we are not up to the task.
I think it would be better to get humanity out from under the boot of tyrants before you make such judgements. We still live under the crushing oppression of kings, albeit under different names and often from the shadows.
That tyranny is at the heart of the point I was making.
