The issue has been pretty much solved. Now we just need to distribute the solution to the people that need it.

Should all humans adhere to common decency?

Yeah, would be nice. It's just not going to happen. It's an impossible ask.

Can't think of one right now, but what it should be is "I hope all your tool batteries don't run empty at the same time"

Yes, if we destroy ourselves some other way before we get there. Otherwise it's absolutely going to be.

Never is a forecast of infinity. That's a really long time.

Little nuance to the headline:

Probably not. Same as movie directors don't seem to know what happens when you throw a lit cigarette in gasoline: it puts it out. Diesel doesn't ignite even with a match.
