The longer the post the less people reply.. lol.

I agree, it's inevitable. History, thousands of years of it, is against us. And each of those civilizations thought in their time, 'this is how it is', 'this is how it always will be'. We are no different. Yet, thinking this way makes us extremely ignorant. The problem lies in the fact that because of the technological advances we've made extremely recently in modern history, the common thinking is that this technology somehow makes use better, or more 'civilized' than our ancestors. When in fact this isn't the case at all, least by what history shows us. Complex societies fall- complex societies lead to famine, disease, deaths. Maybe it is not that our ancestors weren't as intelligent as we are now- maybe it's that they were so intelligent that they understood simplicity leads to happiness and prosperity, complexity leads to sorrow and ultimately demise.
