Based on what? Your word. Excuse me if I don't think your cynical, self-defeating word means anything.
Being a cynic is easy - you don't have to actually do anything. You can just whine and complain. What happens when some progress is actually made? Oh, you just whine and complain that it's not the right kind of progress. Too slow, not enough, whatever.
Society is a collective and shitheads like you drag us down.
So since it's not perfect you won't support it. You are not a wise man.
The wise man plants a tree knowing he may never rest under its shade.
I mean moreso the transition from concrete facts to "well we think this might have happened/been how people felt/etc". The destruction of digital information is a very real thing. Try finding any website from the 90's for example. I think there's a chance information retention, especially about "current events", will get worse, not better.
Makes you wonder what parts of our current history will get garbled in 500 years and start becoming the stuff of myths.
Or even just the floodplains of the Nile flooding. A persons concept of "The World" was much smaller back then. If everything you know is flooded, that might as well be the whole world from your perspective.
I'm referring to "a great flood" which, yes, tho exaggerated, many scientists believe did occur and was the basis for such stories.
Most scientists who study it literally agree that Jesus Christ was a real person who lived around the time and had a following. They just disagree on the divinity aspect. But they are totally fine with saying "yeah, this dude probably existed and preached". Science has NO PROBLEM with religion, it just doesn't blindly believe it. Noah's flood is another example of "these stories were likely based on some actual events that occured".
If giants were real, just like pygmies are real, we'd happily discuss them.
Dudes just a cynic moving the goalposts so they can wallow in misery. The redistricting could magically happen tomorrow and they'd still be complaining that it's too little, too late and we're all doomed.
Chicken Littles. They don't want to solve anything, just constantly complain that the sky is falling. The equivalent of someone in a video shrieking instead of helping solve the problem at hand. Creates a lot of stress for others but that's about it.
