    Sadly, I think that’s the way it’s been since the beginning of humanity and I don’t see it ever changing.

      Education is the best way to fight ignorance. Yes, there wasn’t much education more than a hundred or two years ago.

      There are plenty of places on Earth right now that are functioning societies with mostly happy people. So stop being a defeatist pig headed asshole, please.

      Get some education. Get others education. Keep educating if you want the world to act educated, and not barbaric. It’s really that simple, and it’s why the barbarians always gut all education first.

        Seems like I struck a nerve.

        Considering you know nothing about me , it’s interesting that you call me uneducated. Yet haven’t bothered to educate yourself about me.

          I think you 2 might be 2 sides of the same coin. You started with “Sadly” which would infer you don’t think it’s ideal but simply the reality. You’ve probably been called a pessimist more than once for expressing your realistic opinions.

          On one side we want progress and equality, on the other, we recognize that tribes, cities, and nations, were built on conquering others. That mindset idealistically should be in the past but we of course still see too many examples of how relevant those issues are.
