Humankind could have been living in blissful peace for centuries.

Nah. This is a unique moment in history - access to objective truth has never been so widespread. In theory, it’s a lot easier to lead people to war if you can convince them that their neighbors’ customs and culture are causing your crops to fail or some shit.

But it turns out that people simply prefer to reject objective truth. So they’ll blame gays for hurricanes and tell people that homelessness is punishment for sin.

Everything is definitely shittier now.
