Some inquiries into 'intelligence' (and consciousness), done rather carefully.

We're pushing the "50 years?" limit on post-nuclear survival. (was that Sagan's guesstimate?) We though we'd cooled that one, for the first days after Berlin wall came down.

But today we have min-wage (or no steady wage) folk handling Russian C&C, and we have the week's events. Now we are the target for the frustration of the billions of the poorer folk re how it is that they remain.. so left out, and "what are we gonna do about it"?

Remember what were the big issues in the press, media - on 9/10/01?
