    At some point it’ll have a name, it’ll be a syndrome.

    If history repeats itself then it almost looks like we could be entering the modern dark ages. So how do we fast track to a New Age of Enlightenment? A new age of reason. How do we excise ourselves of the scourge of christofascism?

      It was never guaranteed that society post-industrial revolution will eventually progress into a utopia. The past 150-200 years of relative decency and attempts at a democratic and fair civilization may have been an anomaly in human development. It may have been as short and fleeting as democratic Athens…followed by a couple thousand years of tyranny.
