You're driving down a narrow mountain road. You come around a hairpin turn. There's a child on the road. There's a truck out of control coming right at you the other way. Little Hawk, are both you and the truck going downhill, even though you are meeting head on?

As for humankind, if it should happen that we are the ants in an antfarm, carried/cared for by some humongous being whose existence we are barely able to postulate (think of a gnat or midge, perhaps, versus human beings), what then?
