White Knuckled Future

White Knuckled Future:

If super data crunch computing in order to analyze systemic trends within the status quo cannot yield insights in advance of super technological innovation, then how should varying insights among interacting perspectives of Will intuit when best to subordinate themselves to concerns about environmental tipping points?

In other words, when the environment of information is itself changing faster than even super computers can analyze, then by what meta-means should we best intuit when our situation may tip to a point beyond which we could no longer sustain worthwhile, sentient consciousness?
