Reply #6: I've been of the notion [View All]

that many of the world's leaders have spent 2 millennia trying to quash intelligence, exploration and rationale, and the truth. It has always been said that the victors re-write history to their own truths, and wise men know when a battle is not worth being fought. As logical, thinking progressives, the biggest battle is not that far off, and it will be a war of intellectuals fighting to restore order and truth, removing power from the clergy who once had the Holy Roman Empire on their resumes.

Let's face it: dinosaurs lived for millions of years without destroying the planet. Within the modern era of about a couple of hundred years out of 80-100 thousand years, we've managed to destroy quite a few natural resources, contributed to the extinction of many species, and mess up all our evolutionary progress along the way. Some people still act like our ancestral cousin which doesn't help our case of evolutionary progress, but we at least know who they are. Hopefully they will lose the influence they have right now and we can move forward again--it's about all we can do is wait.
