The way I see it, we have come a long way but we have to keep on pressing forward because progress is an everlasting journey. I have no doubt that my values will probably seem conservative 50 years from now but that’s okay. As long as we retain our basic values of kindness, open-mindness, etc, we’ll be okay.

I agree 100% - but I know full well there’s a whole lotta people out there who are genuinely frightened at the progress that’s been made thus far. They feel that their position at the apex of the social pyramid is now threatened - and their sense of identity, their very sense of being, is under siege.

And I am no under illusion that they will lash out. A final spasm of rage against what they believe to be the “dying of the light”.
