"Just high enough on the hill to escape the ravages, razed shortly thereafter..." may be the most poignant analogy of my generation possible given the activities of the would-be dictator the last two months! I'll turn 80 in a few days, and my prayer is that your generation and those of my generation still in positions of power are able to come together quickly to insure that my grandchildren are able to enjoy the privilege of living in the democracy too many of us have taken for granted. Well done, Devin.
Nothing is irreversible about the Earth, save its eventual death.
Also the 99% of species that have existed on it and no longer do...
And indeed all will be gone at some point.
Meh. I said the Earth. Not species. But such is life, nothing lasts forever.
Not to quibble, but the planet and the lifeforms on it are one system. All One, cuz!

Me too, Ben! And thank you!
