Official optimism

 


Half of Europe´s population died horribly during the Black Death circa 1350. Yet, here we are. Carthage was destroyed by the Romans. But then, it was rebuilt. So was Jericho. Baghdad was genocided by the Mongols. Yet, there it is. China and Russia has collapsed repeatedly through world history. They are still great powers. 

Oh, and then there´s Atlantis. Gone in fire and gravel, right? But we´re here. And we´re more advanced than the Atlantids. All of humanity drawned in the Flood, except for one family. Today, the world´s population is much higher than in the times of Methuselah. The Nazis killed six million Jews. Yet, there are more Jews today than ever before in history. Millions of American Indians died due to lack of immunity to European disease. Yet, there are more (un)American Indians today than ever before. They run entire nations. 

And btw, flying cars do exist. I´ve seen them on the evening news. 

So what´s the problem really?
