I would call it death/rebirth time.  If there's a transition to a better
form that
suits the time and needs of people, then it will be reborn.  If it makes no
effort and imagines that it is going to survive because it's blessed
by a higher power or simply waits for the rest of humanity to "catch up"
with it in consciousness, there may a rude awakening and a downfall.
