Limitations instead of Enlightenment

We are in an Age of Limitation (Kali Yuga), with modern technology there is so much potential for information, yet people have got so many Limitations...

In this next Age we're supposed to become Enlightened (Satya Yuga), how do you think people could stop being such bigots, where instead they'd read each others understandings; like even just Wikipedia-ing their details could avoid Limitations?

Limited people generally fight to defend what they've got, as they're scared of letting go of what they think they've got.

In my opinion.

Imo, we have already reached the pinnacle of human enlightenment. In general, that is, individuals some more than others. Up until recently I felt like we had just plateaued out, but now I think civilization has started to decline. As people, in general, have stopped allowing themselves to grow and learn. We have gone from an age of enlightenment into an age of willful ignorance and denial.

I do not consider the advances in technology enlightenment. In terms of enlightenment there has always been the potential of enlightenment.

Uncertain here, given the nature of being human. We are faced with the limitations of the nature of being human throughout our history, and that is unlikely to change in the way people hope it will.

I believe as the New Age unfolds humanity will more reject the cultural and religious tribalism that divides humanity. More to follow . . .

Understandably limitation is an opposite of enlightenment; one is constantly seeking information, and the other is to limit our potential.

Religious labels are a dangerous limitation, as it prevents us to being open with the data in all texts.

The internet provides more than the Library of Alexandria at our finger tips; which would take long journeys to reach in the past.

Fair enough information doesn't automatically lead to enlightenment; yet having the information can provide the steps to finding it.

We've got more government corruption than ever in human history, with it blatantly being about who can make the most profit; so the idea this will end peacefully isn't logical.

Throughout history leaders have manipulated the people in the name of religious crusades, and it is escalating.

When a majority reject their own text, and follow traditions passed down, it isn't going to fix its self soon.

Instead WW3 is prophesied, and then the end of humanity, where only the enlightened saints remain.

In my opinion.
