Brainstorm

[God of Mr. Hanky]

Religion declines as education improves. It is logical enough to assume that this trend will continue worldwide, and the problem will take care of itself. Our lifespans are usually too short and fleeting to see significant change, but significant change has happened before us and will continue on after us.

Now, fuck religion. Let's brainstorm how we're going to feed the world as desertification accelerates and human population continuing to rise.

History says otherwise. Religion never, ever withers and rolls over, it doubles down and it rallies its goons with a vengeance. Have you really not noticed what's been going on in Texas, California, and Tennesee? Our chances of having evangelical asshat Cruz in the White House a year from now just became ~50% likely in Iowa!

I'm not looking to start a fight, I'm just saying we really can't afford to be so confident or cocky about this - the more that progress is made, the more there will always be the need for greater vigilance.
