My bet on the table is as such: The alphabetti seem to be more than they are, because they control the media and mediate a hyper-reality where they are more than they are. But this is mere sorcery, a glamour. And this false image will be banished like fog at first light. It may be that containing this outbreak requires my own life and that of my house. I'm sure there were also good men at Carthage and Sodom and Gamorrah.
Well... *Actually*, other than Lot (Who seems to embody a VERY generous definition of 'Good'), Abraham couldn't find even 10 Good Men at the local S&G...
I'm using 'good' here in the natural sense. I'm sure the wicked men of S&G had worldly affection for their mothers and wives and children and petted their dogs and would stand in ranks with spear and shield obedient to their laws to the death.
Perhaps. Perhaps they were like the Vegas of the Era, nobody would attack it because well, y'know... everyone has 'needs' and 'What happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas.'
I am reminded of an old 'Saturday Night Live' Skit from the 1970's, where the cast portrayed a bunch of Sodom Officials deciding on how best to market their... 'Product'. Given human nature, it may have been close to the truth. Certainly prescient as to where we are now, 50 years later. :-/
(Seriously though, I do agree that there is a big difference between what we humans consider 'Good' and what the Ancient of Days does. 'Terrifyingly Holy' somewhat scratches the surface of the distinction.)

It is what it is.
Doom can only be deferred via “time will tell” for only so long.
Let us hope you are correct and I am wrong: and these postulates that the Human being will come to an end… all of that is merely erroneous.
