an anarchist
Your local anarchist.
I have seen it said by historians that when we look at history, we are looking at a society that has passed us by. One of rampant barbarism where murder and rampage was the norm. But no more! For we have evolved, our society that is. At least according to them.
I believe it not to be the case. I believe that our exponential growth in technological progress gives the illusion of progress in other categories, such as societal development.
The technology is there now to where we can end world hunger or whatever. But we build bombs instead and blow up countries. What has changed, other than our capacity to completely eliminate humanity?
I am of the opinion that, if humanity survives past this century, that the humans of the 21st century will be seen as ancient barbarians. Though I don't suppose the 22nd century folk will be any better.
