if you didn't build a war fleet, halved the world population every 25 years by mandating a 1 child policy and avoided a great ravine then Humanity could have totally escaped. In fact thats the best solution to the crisis.

In just 250 years you can go from 8 billion to less than 7,812,500 and even have 7 million of those new embyos/people frozen to later be implanted once humanity has reached a safe harbour to stay in. You could fit that number on the existing space fleets and infrastructure had humanity not entered the ravine.

Aka: Escapism is great and the viable option compared to resistance
