"It is as if all of humanity, collectively sensing that we are on the cusp of a breakthrough into a new kind of living, has sunk to the ground in exhaustion just before reaching its long-sought goal. As Nietzsche has said, much in us is still like the worm that we evolved from, and the comfort of the muck is still more tempting than a transcendent future which we know not of, and which we will have to strive to attain. In short, cynicism is a devolutionary trait."
John Morgan
