Extinction:
"Extinction has always occurred when the overspecialized species was confronted with a major surprise, evolutionary event with which its specialization (won at great cost of general adaptability) could not cope.
“Humanity has been only inadvertently saved from extinction. The surprise factor which is inadvertently saving humanity from extinction is also fall-out from the weapons-support system. The new fall-out technology which displaced man as a specialist (professional scientist or craftsman) is the new computer-monitored automation industry.”
