Me there? Not me. I already told the 45 years plus are OK. The ones below that are in for a rough ride. What I tell below is not the result of reading but living and working and interacting with people of many places. Reading only opened my eyes and made me hungry to know more. If you take the last 120 years or so, we (a minority of western Europe, North America plus Kiwi and Australia. The center.) lived like Kings. Enjoying benefits only before reserved to royalty. We've got all that result of the Renaissance, Enlightenment and science we end up rather well. The Moslems, the Africans and the ones who lived under communists rule got a raw deal. Most of that was based on ideas created in the last 2.000 years with constant updating. That was not adapted by Africans and Moslems. Thus they did not benefit. While all that was happening to this minority. The center. The periphery just got by. Now the periphery is getting the money the economic griwth and the upper hand. It will take them 3 to 5 decades for them to go up the pyramid and look to the world as civilization and not simply the place you live in. Right now they -the periphery- are more interested in getting roofs above their heads, food for the kids... At that stage, civilization is not a priority. Look to the US until 1920 to get an idea. Or the 19th Century England, Asia of the late 80s to late 90s. We will miss the center, its ideas, ideals and civilization for if we are going to enter the Gray Age...
