Lots of good stuff here Jason. I particularly like your "bottles of gin" explanation for the difference between a slow manageable change and a catastrophic one. The choice of gin gives it an extra punch due to an evening that ended badly for me back in 1978. I also like the idea of earth time and human time. The more I think about these issues, the more I see this disconnect as the biggest stumbling block to addressing the problem.

Astonishingly evocative and illuminating. Thanks., Jason
