Global Catastrophe
How likely is humanity to get back on track after global catastrophe? I have presumed a biological event which causes human civilization to collapse or derail threatens great harm to humanity's future. Unlike pre history, the survivors of a 99 % catastrophe likely have much greater knowledge and access to technology than earlier times. The likelihood of repeated disasters resetting human development again and again through this interval looks slim. If so, a humanity whose past has been scarred by such a vast disaster still has good prospects to enjoy a flourishing future.
