After the next several disturbing years, I've come to believe that the complacency of "that can't happen here" is perhaps the surest sign that it could. Sometimes the most important prophecies are ones that prevent themselves from coming to pass.
This is unfalsifiable, or more precisely, selection bias. My cat evolving into an FTL drive can't happen here, either--that isn't a sign he'll be powering an Enterprise.
