 Struggle

The Human dissolution of its prehuman predecessor's dystopia will be the far most radical change since life first existed on the planet.  For, with its dissolution, a new form of life will finally emerge from its cocoon.

A different perspective on it all just occurred to me that may explain the hesitancy for the last three millennia.  It is really difficult for a race to admit that they have been acting like such idiots for so long.  The older someone is, the more immersed they become in the prehuman mindset, the more vested they become in believing that they have done a fine job at life, no matter how demented their behaviour has become, and cannot accept that there is anything better.  They learn to rationalize their awful state.  Sometimes, I wonder if that derangement causes them to actively desire that the dystopia continues.  Since they had to live through it, so should the next generation.

Or, maybe, no one can believe the tremendous potential that Humanity portends.

    So far, we are little better than all of our predecessors, from apes to Neanderthal.  In some ways, it is little different from the single-cell life forms.  It has been just existence for existence's sake.

    With a single step, we can become so much more.

We will be standing in awe upon a time in which infinity splits so decisively.  Am I the only one that can perceive that split unselfishly?  Am I the only one that can accept that it means nothing for me but can mean so much for all of future Human life from the point that we take that all-important step?

      No other generation will ever experience this split in reality, as Santayana notes so perfectly in Aphorisms.  They may attempt to report on it.  They may attempt to study it.  It is not the same as living through it.  I won't even experience the tipping point.
