 I can definitely see it, but the bolder the move, the more dire the consequences if it fails. And there will be strong incentives for people (when they see the worm turn) to jump off the sinking ship first. Plus, they are evil and craven, so they can’t trust each other.  
 A turning from evil and corruption would be wonderful and I pray for it daily, but I can't say I have high expectations.  All of humanity seems determined to destroy itself 
 The victory of reality over delusion is inevitable 
 I don’t mean a real turning from evil, but a self-preservation instinct among the evil to turn on their co-malfeasants while there’s still something to be gained from it. Think that’s more likely.
