@tess I'm moderately optimistic in this that we'll still have pockets of “resistance” (as in: humans that keep sharing their direct knowledge and experience), so the chain won't be broken, but it will be more restricted and harder to find. Not a great outlook, but still better than nothing. And yes, this *will* slow things down, but a possible silver lining of this is will give humans time to better adapt to the changes —at least those in the luck of orbiting around those pockets.
