This is one of my favorite blogs of all time and I'm sure it's in the top 1% of blogging posts — ever: "This is the Dream Time." I read it again today and remembered it as much longer and much more detailed than it is, but I guess that reflects how much it got my brain popping the first time I read it. The crux of it is this: either humanity will survive and eventually settle down into a long period of relatively stable, boring and egalitarian future or we'll all die — actually it doesn't say that second thing, it's just implied). If we survive, people will look at this time as a wild era in which we couldn't tell the difference between good thinking and bad which had the counter-intuitive impact of deluding us into thinking almost anything was possible, which is a rare and beautiful feeling that humanity will only experience during a few brief eras in its history. So live it up, folks. You are lucky to live in a rare era.
