We were wrong. We thought we were living in a time of progress, where science would sweep away ignorance, where attitudes were improving, where society was more tolerant. It would always be this way. But far off the sounds of conflict, angry voices, telling us we were wrong

Yes, that is the part that hurts the most. To see the progress made during the 66 years I’ve been around go into reverse. And those far off sounds, suddenly very present, sound like the rise of Fascism in the 1930s.

Sounds like we all need to do a better job as educators and stewards of common sense.

Science cannot be the answer. "Thinking", in the sense of Hannah Arendt, might be a better way to sweep away ignorance .
