re: #220 SanFranciscoZionist

Have there ever been boring times?

Yes, any time there wasn’t anything particularly dramatic happening in your life :) Multiplied by several 100 million people, of course.

What makes these times - and the humanity’s most likely future - “interesting” is that they’ll represent the first time we had wonderful stuff and potential beyond our wildest dreams, and stupidly, maddeningly, threw it all away.

Just imagine going from today’s technology to a dark ages or even prehistoric scenario in about 100 years. Civilizations may rise and fall, but there’s absolutely no parallel to that degree of change in all of human history.
