Struggle

The Human dissolution of its dystopia will be the far most radical change since life first existed on the planet.  For, with its dissolution, a new form of life will finally emerge from its cocoon.

A different perspective on it all just occurred to me that may explain the hesitancy for three millennia.  It is really difficult for a race to admit that they have been acting like such idiots for so long.  It may be the biggest hurdle for prehumanity to overcome.  The older someone is, the more vested they become in believing that they have done a fine job at life, no matter how demented their behaviour has become, and cannot accept that there is anything better.  

Or, maybe, since everyone is more than willing to follow the herd, no one can believe the tremendous potential that Humanity contains.

    What a shock it must seem to realize that, so far, we are little better than all of our predecessors, from apes to Neanderthal.  Maybe more appropriate would be to say what a shock it must be to realize that, with a single step, we can become so much more.  It is easier to bury one's consciousness in the ground.  The biggest shock of all is that we can transform into something Human.

The main hesitancy is overturning the paradigms of madness that are so familiar, so entrenched, no matter how insane they are.  That is what I have spent the last fifteen years contending with.

It's much like I say in Forward Vision.  We should all be standing in awe upon a time in which infinity splits so decisively.  Standing at the point of split infinity between the awful past of the prehuman that might as well be an animal and the amazing future of the Human that launches life into the further wonders of existence will only happen once, to one lifespan of people (maybe reference TOL).  No other generation will ever experience this split in reality, as Santayana notes so perfectly in Aphorisms.  They may attempt to report on it.  They may attempt to study it.  It is not the same as living through it.

I'm still wondering how much time Humans will spend on studying the past.  Will they see it as beneficial to study the past?  I am not so sure.

I think they will be much more interested in celebrating the future and life as a fully functional Human race and dismantling the awful past of the prehuman.  I would think that, for a long while, they would be most pleased by concentrating on washing every trace of the stench of the prehuman out of existence.

I am certain that Humanity will be very closely attached to Gaia.  We will be stewards of life.  A cog in the wheel rather than a wrench in the works.  Finally.
