I really appreciate the nuance and substance of your thoughts, and I hope I didn't give the impression I didn't. I am happy our conversations benefit your understanding, and you profit from my words.

It is that battlefield for hearts and minds I seek victory on, because that contest will support victory through development of civil society ignorance and barbarism can only destroy. I observe that whatever opposition or setbacks impede our work, humanity never fails to surmount whatever gets in our way, and I am confident madmen and monopoly money will not prove our undoing.

We may not understand who or what we are today, but our record assures me our nescience is temporary. In a few centuries our posterity will marvel we could tie our shoes with so little grasp of our place and structure, having knowledge I am certain sure we'll gain, and moving in that direction is all I expect from us.
