Re: Be prepared for your kids to ask one day: 'how did we get here Daddy'?
I think they're way too optimistic, the kids already don't give a flying monkey about how they got there. It's not that they've been boiled slow, they positively poured the water and turned the flame to FULL POWER, before jumping in.
But hey, given that this course is, ultimately, short-term, I see the bright side. It might be a nuclear flash, it might be an AI turning us off, but the future's bright, and f... the sapiens.
