How do we grow?

[Cinjin]

How do we as a species outgrow this archaic and juvenile dogma so that our seemingly bright future, is as bright as it should be, and not impeded by those of us who wish to remain in the dark?

We don’t … At least not in time to save ourselves from our own self-made annihilation. History shows us that it takes the whole of mankind hundreds, even thousands of years to grow intellectually beyond a school of thought. And the deeper the indoctrination was - the longer it takes. We don’t have time. Mankind is breeding too quickly and although technology is moving ahead briskly now, most of the world is a third world country… uneducated, unenlightened and unready to advance. Add to that, that three quarters of the civilized world still clings to religion like a drowning man to driftwood … sadly, it’s not going to happen anytime soon.

Many people, including myself, feel that a combination of war and lack of resources will destroy the majority of the human race within the next 150 years, and since the recovery of an entire species is naturally slow the likelihood of the human race seeing that enlightenment you speak of within even 500 years is exceptionally small.

That being said … I would be most pleased to be wrong on this matter.





….. maybe the “next” human race will be smarter than the first.
