    At some point it’ll have a name, it’ll be a syndrome.

    If history repeats itself then it almost looks like we could be entering the modern dark ages. So how do we fast track to a New Age of Enlightenment? A new age of reason. How do we excise ourselves of the scourge of christofascism?

      It was never guaranteed that society post-industrial revolution will eventually progress into a utopia. The past 150-200 years of relative decency and attempts at a democratic and fair civilization may have been an anomaly in human development. It may have been as short and fleeting as democratic Athens…followed by a couple thousand years of tyranny.

        Nothing is guaranteed. But what would you like to see happen? What world would you like to live in and to hand off to the next generation? Focus on that and keep your eye on the prize

      Hopefully not WWIII but usually a country pulls its head out of its ass and embraces unity and exceptionalism when a very imminent and palpable existential threat is visually confronting them. If not probably brain drain and all that slow bleed stuff
