drew the following comment from me:
In a decent society, learning and education will be taken seriously. Social wealth (which will be greater than we can imagine today) will be distributed sensibly. As a result, the sharing and caring Mary and a few other lucky people dedicate themselves to will be the norm.
Till then Sweetness and Light will be beacons in the night, in stormy seas, near a jagged rocky coast. Most of us (humanity, that is) will be wrecked without seeing any beacons, a lot of us will be killed by wreckers using false beacons, some of us will reach the shore and find that the beacons are real but inaccessible, and a few will actually make it to the flame, enjoy its light and heat, and keep it alive.
And share snippets of hope with each other:
Die Nacht hat zwölf Stunden, dann kommt schon der Tag...
If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?
