Most, unaware how terrified they should be. Astronomers are very rarely barbaric. Just as gravity keeps us grounded, those few enlightened with ability to grasp (even a little) the awes (and threats) of our cosmos, unwilling to obtain the strengths and powers necessary to get our affairs in order. Too few world leaders as terrified as reality demands, and whatever could be said of the majority.

To the bravest, most fearless [warrior philosopher kings]. May (the god of) luck be with us.”

You have the power to choose faith over fear, strength over weakness, trust over doubt, truth over lies and understand that when you choose faith, your faith will make you whole.”
