    The future is scary. There’s no telling what might or might not be there. The past is still full of enough mystery for me.

    Cause my views of life agree better with the traditions of the past than with the actualities (all the more with the future).

    Because the past is overrated. Even just a century ago, even the wealthiest people has very little comfort in their lives, medicine against very basic diseases, etcetera. Good luck with that teeth ache for those who want to go to the past. Not to mention the 7 children per decade you will get with your wife, if she doesn’t die from giving birth that is. Although some might think the future is scary and more freedom will be lost, I am a firm believer that technology, and more specifically the decentralization of communication it enables, will set mankind free eventually. As improved communication technologies also allow for more centralization there might be a big “clash of intent” though between freedom seeking individuals and power seeking governments. So, in short, my belief is that the future will allow for more organised evil, but it will be fought much more effectively. Informed reason will triumph over political manipulation.
