My view of the world is an mix of pessimism and optimism. On the pessimistic side I find myself distracted by what I see as the emergence of human predators, the continuing evolution of sociopathic behavior, and people's eagerness to relegate to outsider status anyone who does not satisfy a monsterous list of irrelevant criteria. All of these things seem to point to a tendancy among humans toward social self-destruction.
Pessimism aside, I still believe the quest for
freedom and social justice
is worth persuing and has some notable successes,
and I think that humans
stand a good chance of success as we attempt to deal with
major challenges like disease
, as we create
miraculous new technologies
that will empower us as never before, and as our
evolving consciousness
combines with our
new, extraterrestrial habitats to
bring the dawn of a new humanity.
