Do you have any idea what's going to happen to this planet when a superwave arrives? And this is one of those "not if, but when" scenarios - cuz it is coming. The EMP alone, which has never bothered us before cuz we were a "non-electric" society, will, all by itself, knock us back to the dark ages. The first question I would ask would be: How long do you think the global nuke plants are going to be able to run on emergency power - oh wait, they won't be able to. Hmm, how many plants do we have globally - all going into melt down at once? And that's just the beginning. Think you'll escape in your car? Oops ... car's computer is fried ... you're screwed. The idea is, people would rather give up and die than think. All I ever wanted was a "prove me wrong" counterargument - God knows if I missed something. But no. Oh well world ... best of luck with all that 
"...men are not so far from the truth as they generally believe. Their greatest error is in searching for it where it is not, and in attaching it to forms; whereas, they ought, on the contrary, to avoid form in order to dwell upon the essence." Fabre D'Olivet
Rather than STOP and say, 'Woops! I'm headed in the wrong direction,’ we tend to place a premium on projecting a consistent image of ourselves and try to rationalize our initial decision despite increasing evidence suggesting we ought to do the contrary. B M Staw
