I hope you are correct; my kids and theirs do, also. History shows that 'human nature' is so hard to change and we are so expert at fooling ourselves- 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' must be one of the worst aphorisms.

Then there's religion, a form of insanity so infectious it beggars belief (pun intended). Islam particularly, anti-science and ossified; if that took over we are all doomed because after all, Allah knows best & we have no choice!

Apology for my angry reaction- so many optimistic but unsubstantiated\ill informed opinions around that make for dangerous complacency. Yours IS well reasoned, however.
