But isn't Eliezer's point: too many of us are on the beach partying.
We're all drinking faux beer out of brown carmelized faux glass gazing
half-focused at the declining water level..."now isn't that odd?" Unable
to see the tsunami, because if you can see the tsunami then it's already too
late.
At potential speeds of 500mph and impact heights of up to 100 feet ( ok,
1733 feet in one instance), perhaps there are more desirable alternatives
than standing on a coastal beach during an earthquake *looking out and
waiting.*
I think that Eliezer has already cried-out "Surf's up!"
