I said I don't go about trying to convert anyone. But if it does happen I think its a good thing.
I'm not talking about changing the whole world (and certainly not all at once!).
But there's nothing wrong with small change.
If there's less delusion I think thats generally good thing but both moral and intellectual reasons.
Or have I missed something? I had a bit of trouble understanding what you mean by reverse to what it once was?
Back in history - in many respects things were a lot worse were they not?
More racism and sexism. And atheism was completely unacceptable if you go far back enough (at least in some cultures) I believe?
We have more tools to do harm now. But its about what you do with them. Because we also have a lot better medicine and live a lot longer than in the past (on average).
Or have I misunderstood something? I can imagine that I easily could have?
What do you mean by reverse back?
