Yes, well @zyx066, I suppose "no way out" was my first clue you might not be in the most optimistic frame of mind to begin the New Year my friend. 😉

So ... Adding "further" you are suggesting we have already devolved and are only going "further" down that path ... No argument here, although I of course view the root cause of that from a very different perspective ...

P.S. BTW, I agree with your post's title. There's "no way out" of the challenges this world faces. At least not via any sort of evolutionary process ...
