““Let's recognize that no one is capable of enslaving or murdering billions of people. No one, at least not anyone alive today, perhaps in the past, with more primitive ways in more primitive times, but life for most of us has passed a line, where almost everyone within those billions has had access to a chance of living a worthy existance. If it is not possible to play out a strategy to the extreme, then it is a flawed long-term strategy. There's only one way forward which promotes good health and an explosion of advancements. With reflection of where we've been and what it is we expect from near and distant futures.””
