We created the Overshoot Predator. Just like we created God. In fact, we will worship him more devoutly in the upcoming centuries than any deity yet created.
..We cannot master this new predator. He will master us. Nothing else has. No bubonic plague alone could. No germ has yet succeeded. No crop failure or drought. No collapsed Mayan culture taught us any lasting lessons. But The Overshoot Predator is a wryly fox with a bag of tricks that can and will be delivered more quickly than Kudzu Ape’s technology can mitigate. In fact like the aids virus that uses our immune systems as part of its strategy, the Overshoot Predator takes our technological responses and uses them to strengthen its arsenal.
...Where is the Overshoot Predator at this very moment? He is still hiding behind our human centered delusion of dominion that causes Kudzu Ape to see only his foot prints and react only to his symptoms leading us into possible resource wars, civil wars, ideological wars, religious wars etc. up until the moment the Overshoot Predator himself can no longer camouflage himself in the statistics of climate change and all the other ecological collapses that are currently unfolding.
Like early Christians some of us have identified the new Messiah and are beginning to worship him, soon more and more of us will. For the Overshoot Predator does not really work in mysterious ways. The Overshoot Predator matches our delusion perfectly. If we are awake the Overshoot Predator reveals himself with subtleness. If we deny him he will emerge with a wrath and be quite blunt. Currently the obtuse dense delusional nature of Kudzu Ape is slowly awakening the wrath of the Overshoot Predator leaving him no options but to raise the seas.
Some skeptics may consider the hubris of Kudzu Ape beyond redemption and that collectively we will choose extinction. The Overshoot Predator will lead us however to salvation for no other God has emerged that bends all creeds to his will.
what's the difference now except a couple of technological discoveries?

Two guys, one spends the next 5-years stocking a root cellar & practicing guerrilla tactics in the woods outside his isolated cabin in the hills. The other guy works, saves some money, dates different women, has fun with his friends. Doom comes. Who's led a better life? It's totally subjective. Even if guy #1 is better prepared it's not like guy #2 is gonna die overnight. Maybe he'll outlive the 1st, who might step on one of his one landmines he placed outside his property.
