%X It is argued in what follows that ¡°culture warfare¡± is symptomatic of an imminent threat to the continued sustainability of human culture as a whole. The nature of this threat can be characterized as trauma induced paralysis of the human cultural imagination, without which cooperative adaptation to potential credible dangers of self-induced species or even planetary life extinction is impossible. The structure of this paradoxical ¡°possible impossibility¡± as the destiny of humanity is examined here within the context of an interpretive framework which is broadly characterized as ¡°cultural genetics¡±. On the basis of a schematic and preliminary outline of that framework, a suggestion is made regarding the direction in which hope of avoiding that destiny might be sought.
