What amazing fortune
To be 1 of the 100 billion homo sapiens sapiens that have ever lived
And to be alive at this the moment of the great inflection
Not to be 1 of 50 billion that died of mosquito borne disease
Nor to be 1 of 30 billion that died before age 5
Nor 1 of 10 billion killed in an act of violence
Instead to witness this ahistorical moment, to contribute in whatever small way in our outward expansion and proliferation,
To stand on the cusp of history:
