While world leaders try to decide whether their interests are best served by World War III or some other imposed atrocity, various forces have them targeted for extinction. Chief among them is the exponential nature of evolution and technology, working together to advance human life.

Let’s start with evolution. Shortly after the Big Bang atoms started forming, then later atoms combined into molecules. Carbon, in particular, gave rise to more complicated structures.
