The Voice Of Reason: A V.I.P. Pass To Enlightenment - Plot & Excerpts
As a result, the knowledge that we have now is better than what came before it. Jets are better than biplanes. Cars are better than horse-drawn carriages. Vaccinations are better than polio. Catch my drift? The people who get all crazy about the past—you know the types, the ones who go to Renaissance fairs in cloaks and tights, those crazy hipsters who run around dressed like the cast of Mad Men, and don’t get me started about people who collect antiques—are delusional. Do you yearn for the days when letters were handwritten? Do you wish you could go a few rounds with Hemingway (boxing or booze, take your pick)? Give me a break. Even Hemingway wishes he lived here and now. Knowledge is acquired and honed, and when you really get down to brass tacks, it saves us a lot of time. Why make so many mistakes of our own when we can take this gift from father knowledge. Do we have to eat uranium and punch a lion and move to Brazil to know that they are all horrible ideas? People before us learned how to make bread, forge tools, tame animals, and get girls so we could just sit back and take advantage of the fruits of their trials and errors.
