I’ve come to realize how sad it is nobody alive today will be alive to see how what’s occurring fits with a multi-century arch of history. The way we examine the Middle Ages or Byzantine Empire.

It would be fascinating to see how 2001-2025 fits into that.

I think we will be remembered for our chemistry, physics, engineering and materials science. There is going to be a lot that is forgotten because:

1) There is an eternal power struggle among people that is only obliquely acknowledged and seems willfully forgotten.

2) There is a lot of useless crap based on predatory psychological cues that will be weeded out through natural evolution.

I'd suggest a 3rd reason -

In the arc of history, it's not that different from any other time. We just have a recency bias.
