Evolution's truth is that it's the capacity to adapt -not brute strength , ego intelligence or military power- which wins in the struggle toward new and better human epochs.
So in our times higher levels of human consciousness , literally more persons becoming more fully who, or better what, they really are is what holds the shape of the future; whether it's toward extinction or a kind of global redemption and renewal.

Humans have the strongest capacity for grand leaps in suffering consciousness (Increased consciousness, without exception, includes its accepted companion of inner suffering.) in our known world.
Such increased consciousness may be well formed already in some oppressed immigrants, unselfish activists or a quiet musician, farmer, nurse, scholar, cab driver, priest, billionaire etc.
The question remaining for the common good is, ''Is there enough individual and collective accelerated suffering consciousness among humans to overcome our threatening darkness of science denial, rational materialism and personal/group narcissism?'
Given the above dynamics, I believe it remains reasonable to trust and ‘hope against hope’ there indeed may be sufficient consciousness for a constructive global outcome.
There is surely no guarantee. Otherwise we'd lose motivation to become more conscious persons(Ones whose conscious life has integrated new material from our common Unconscious. All have partially done this yet humans appear to have far to go to prevent self destruction.)
I think this deep underlying reality has long been forecast. For example this ancient question attributed to Jesus: Paraphrasing and interpreting it so it's more universally applicable, "When such an epochal time like ours has come again to the Earth, Will there be sufficient human consciousness?"
