Have we finally realised that we have been off track for a while?
Good morning and welcome to the day! Brioche, cappuccino?
So, first let's reverse out of the mud and get back on the road, and then, from there, let's put it in first gear and get going again, but this time on the tarmac!
That's what is meant by "point of restart".
A world in which suppressives and loose cannons are not detected and neutralised, but on the contrary worshipped and obeyed, is a world in decline: as time goes by, things always get worse, perhaps with variations in the steepness of the decline, but they certainly never improve.
It is therefore a question of detecting and neutralising suppressives and loose cannons, identifying a suitable point, one where things were still sufficiently healthy and not too far behind, and starting again from there, and this time on the tarmac, not in the mud.
