More people need to understand this. Unfortunately, the global average IQ is ~83. Most people are lucky they can tie their shoes. However, from time to time catastrophic cataclysms reduce population such that stupid people die off, leaving the more intelligent fraction an improved genepool. Such a cataclysm seems to be in progress today, and the concatenation with the advent of the Space Age, and transcending centralization and enabling individuals to own themselves the means of producing the blessings of civilization suggest that in a generation a paradise will become potential to everyone that has two brain cells to rub together, in which humanity will seize the very stars of the heavens to develop into inconceivable prosperity at their whim, where no armies can follow and round up a diaspora to project force for overlords, and our posterity will produce unimaginable felicity our beloved sons and daughters will enjoy in their good company in perpetuity.
I look forward to the happy day we are well met in fortunate circumstances and absolute freedom to enjoy the fruits of our productive labor in the paradise to come.
Thanks!
IF there is to be war, better in my days than my kids'.

But, it looks like the iron fist will have to knead the dough a little more before it will finally rise.
Same. Especially because I am old, and am become more willing to stand more firmly on lesser hills with every new wrinkle and pain.
You do have a way with words.
