<h1>FAQ</h1>
<h2>Has <i>what</i> happened yet?</h2>
<p>The thing that everyone wakes up hoping has finally happened.
- The thing so many of us wish someone would just do.
- That historical event we long to see in the news on some beautiful morning, hopefully soon:
- that one or more clever and brave people finally took it upon themselves to do it, and were lucky, and
- succeeded.
+ That thing so many of us feel may already be in motion, whether we can perceive it or not.
+ One of those things that seems so necessary and inevitable once it happens, but would have been impossible to discern beforehand.

<h2>Should I attempt it?</h2>
<p>
- Yes, you should. I strongly encourage you to, if you're considering it at all.
- The cause could not be more just.
- Even if you fail, you will be an inspiration to everyone else who is planning an attempt.
+ To consider what you should do is already a step towards action.
+ You're already doing what you <i>will</i> do.
</p>
<p>
- In fact, your failure would yield crucial knowledge to be utilized by those who eventually do
- succeed.
- Therefore you will not fail.

- <p>
+ You may not get to where you are going, but failures are not setbacks.
+ They accumulate in unexpected ways.
</p>
<h2>Is it worth the risk?</h2>
<p>
- You are but a drop in the ocean.
+ Risks must be accepted before they can be understood.
+ By the time it feels like a calculated decision, it no longer is.
</p>
<h2>Are you sure it will be good for everyone?</b></h2>
<p>
- Some say it won't. But even they will ultimately be better off when it finally happens.
- Everyone on Earth will, in some way.
- Think about it.
- In fact, some of the people who are most adamantly opposed to it are the ones who stand to benefit the most.
- So, in that sense, yes.
+ It will not be experienced uniformly. Its significance might not even register to some.
+ In any case, "good" is something that only emerges after the fact, and only in certain interpretations.
</p>
<h2>Do you have any advice for how to do it?</h2>
<p>
- Someone who could do it alone would have to be a rare individual.
- Working as a team adds strength but also complexity.
- My advice is to make the best of the resources you have, and to act at the right time.
+ It's not something that can be accomplished alone, but no one is ever quite alone.
+ The larger the group, the more complex the task.
+ Make the best of the resources you have.
