The times we live in
Good god, this world is so nuts… Political assassinations, revanchist colonial wars, dumb pony world appeasers, scandals, nuclear intimidation, world food crisis. We are so backwards. We should have been landing on the Moon right now instead of this crap.
An unrelated post by Alex Tabarrok on the destruction of the Georgia Guidestones:
The Guidestones were meant to last for a thousand years and to offer guidance to humanity after a castrophe such as a nuclear war. The Guidestones lasted 42 years. It doesn’t bode well.
Yes, I understand the sentiment. I even agree with it to some extent. But, this also denies the reality of humanity, which isn’t linear progress. Instead we’re going in circles driven by greed, delusion and rage. Progress just might be the exception.
