Greetings beloved readers. Thanks for being here.
I can think of few periods of history that would be better to live in than right now. We are more free than people have ever been. We are healthier, happier and safer. The human race is getting better. Yes, quite slowly but there is improvement.
But, what really makes me glad that I am alive here and now it what is going on with science. WE have been pushing back the threshold of our knowledge at an alarming rate. I say alarming rate not to imply trepidation at our progress but to remark at how rapid we are surging forward.
Just a few years ago we could only speculate about the possibility of other planets beyond our solar system. We now have proof of many exoplanets.
We are exploring deeper and deeper into the make up of matter. We are opening up the atom and finding new and exciting things in there that we had no clue about just a few short years ago.
I know for certain much about the nature of the Universe that my parents could only consider as fantasy. Humanity is growing up.
I believe we are moving on from our adolescence. I see a coming maturity to our species. We have been for the past couple of centuries, at least since the Renaissance, been fascinated with the tactile world. It has indeed been a sexy time. I, for one, am glad I was able to experience that period in human history.
I see coming a time when reason and logic holds more power than tribal superstitions and myths. I understand that these old paradigms wont go away without a fight but progress demands that we move forward not back.
Be of good cheer my friends. Humanity is getting better. We don’t always see it because, in part, our media wants us to be afraid of something so that they can sell us something to protects us from what ever fear that is. Whether it being fear of old age, being less than beautiful or something equally silly.
Hang in there. Think positive. Know that good will prevail.
