> The only solution to this is that everyone leave each other alone for a while and let them figure these things out for themselves by letting good ol father time teach us what is right and wrong. Time. It's one thing in the universe that might not be lying to us, at least all the time; unlike humans who can't stop lying in attempts to ego stroke over being right.
Man, i couldn't disagree more - about this actually working, that is. This seems to assume that with time we will progress. I have seen the opposite enough to believe that we can, but also can just as likely regress.
There are many out there that want to go back to removing rights from people based on skin tone, orientation, religion, gender, etc. Too frequently we reach a regression milestone that originally was projected to be the end of the regression, only to have us ramp up for the next regression milestone and fight over whether the next milestone is the end.
I have zero faith in humans ability to cope here. I'm not sure on the solution, but to me it feels like we have a series of radio broadcasts which purposefully brainwash us and our only inclination is to turn the volume up, and make sure the neighbor can hear it through our windows.
I am very, very pessimistic on our ability to dig out of this when we still willfully dug ourselves in to begin with.
