“I believe Hunome can assist with many areas which make me wonder. E.g., we seem to look back at societies in previous centuries or even just previous generations and wonder how they could have believed what they believed at the time... that dragons swallowed the sun when there was an eclipse. There are probably millions of examples around.
Anyway, the point is how ignorant will we look to future generations. Are we getting closer to the truth? And would we recognize whatever it is when we see it? Or is it all, or partly, a myth to make every generation feel better about their time by ridiculing past extremes of societies and beliefs: Lessons of Future History.”
