In this case I almost don't want to spoil the topic. Run-time is 53:36.
The urgency of the title fascinated me, and I've watched the channel before - particularly seen a lot of the models of consciousness they've discussed ranging from self-aware levels down to archetypal and then down to Pankseppian and even genetic levels. That and I've had a sense of the emergency they're discussing here for a while now.

To fair 'terminal lucidity' is a term often used when someone with advanced dementia and mental decline for years prior to their death (such as with Alzheimer's) becomes as behaviorally clear and lucid as if the dementia had never occurred in hours or even minutes right before their death.
In this case I think Richard and Pauline are using the verbiage in the context of getting survival-level needed realization past the point of criticality where it's too late.
