more on change

it seems fairly certain that a huge meteorite hit the earth a long time
ago, raising dust which swept round the globe, perhaps ending the reign of
the dynosaurs....catastrophe. and it's fairly certain that we are agents
of the annihilation or at least decimation of large numbers of species
even now. from this latter point of view, and all the trouble our
apparent hubris is causing life on earth, the great change i talk about is a
reduction in change, a slight reversal of a catastrophic tendency.
it's "only" a change in the minds and actions of one species, under changed
conditions, - and surely such changes are commonplace in life on earth.
nevertheless, it's too great a change for other people to contemplate
easily beforehand. in the event little more than a cooling off.
