6. The accelerated pace of the work available through new technology promises breakthroughs

which may really blow our socks off no doubt.

Discoveries are appearing so much faster now than at any time earlier in our lifetimes. It's really easy to be excited by the possibility our entire grasp of human history can be rearranged.

Think how much faster it is to locate "lost" structures buried under centuries of overgrown jungles or drifting sand by now, not to mention the very sad possibility of discoveries which will be revealed as the ice melts at the poles.... That part is scary, but it will possibly slam some respect for life on earth into the idiots who've assumed the entire world was meant to be exploited to the max.

Let's hope awakening of common sense will come to the human race before it's even more "too late."
