The positive outcome is assured, but getting there as you say is going to be traumatic.

Preparation is vital for all the reasons/possibilities you state, but paying attention to the doom and gloom more than necessary for effective planning should definitely be guarded against.

Yup ! That reminds me of the movie "The day the earth stood still" Where the alien is talking with a scientist discussing "that humans must be cleansed from the earth because of their self destructive nature" And the scientist's reply is "It is at the very edge or presibus that human learns & changes" ( sorry for the spelling)
