Truth has been savaged for at least 6000 years. Most of history is nothing but the agreed upon lie. One can only wonder what has been completely swept "under the rug". By the next century, we will be telling stories to our young about a "wondrous" world where our species did all kinds of impossible things. From these stories our new myths will evolve. That is if enough of us survive to do so and repopulate. We have survived about a dozen of them to date. Maybe closer to two dozen. But there is no guarantee that we will this time or any subsequent events. Our destiny as a species lies in escaping this cycle. That means either finding a way to control the Sun. Fat chance there. Or we stop bickering over the stupid shit we do and find a way to get out of this prison planet and live among the stars.
