Your hapless ancestors have been left to start over again.
This story could in reality go either way, but

Relentless speed of its approach is understated, and you should all be aware that
Time is running out, and we'll soon be caught in an irreversible landslide, but
Yet with apathy, the unenlightened still bury their heads in the sand, preferring to read fantasies and love stories than face the truth
