Whoever moans about the prospects of the new generation, is a murderer of the identity of man and man's infinite base, a murderer of consciousness.  The limits people bemoan today are no limits.  If they were, mankind would still be living in the stone age moaning over the lack of food and shelter though the earth carried a population no larger than a mere fraction of a single suburb of New York, and this with a life expectancy of barely over twenty years. The New Federalist reports, "The Black Death in Europe destroyed the Malthusian idea that fewer people would mean better life for the survivors... The chronicler Matteo Villani wrote in the 1360s: 'It was assumed, on account of the lack of people, that there would be an abundance of everything the law produces.  But on the contrary, because of man's ingratitude, everything was in unusually short supply... and in some countries there were terrible famines.  It was thought there would be a profusion of clothing and everything the human body needs beside life itself, and just the opposite occurred.'"*(Paul Gallagher, Venice and the First Financial Collapse - The New Federalist Sept.4 1995)  The fact is, mankind has created the abundance that marks modern civilization.  The abundance is the outcome of a high technology society that has achieved a high potential population density in which there is a profit in terms of economic product per expended human labor.  This is where our riches lie.  Shut down the population density, and living recedes back to primitive poverty and misery.  But we are not about to do this, no matter how strong the pressures that are excerpted towards this end.

Mankind has created a marvel in the universe, that only the human intellect could create, and in real terms we have barely even begun to exploit the infinite possibilities that do exist.  It is a joke of the cruellest dimensions to tell people that the planet is overpopulated, that we are running out of the resources for life.  We are using resources, materials, and processes today that primitive societies had no use for, or hadn't discovered or created in their limited vision.  Political alertness is a tool that has put mankind face to face with infinity, and created a conqueror.

Instead of being gloomy, mankind's future looks bright, because of the power that the individual has to control it.  Today's age should be alive with Paeans of joy for what lies before our feet to be realized.

Scientific political alertness, which is inherently based on divine Science, the science of reality, is key in the coming development of man's power.  Have you ever walked upon a high mountain ridge?  A whole world lies beneath you that you hadn't seen when groping on the ground, or seen but isolated fractions of it.  Science can provide this vantage point upon reality.  From the tall vantage point of the high mountain ridge you can look down upon the eagle and its flight and no longer be jealous, for you can see what the eagle sees, and infinitely more.  You can look up to the moon and see it as a base from which to view the universe and to explore it, and settle it with life.

Have you ever stood on the bow of a 27 foot sail boat in three foot high seas, holding on to the forestay while the boat drops away beneath your feet as it falls into the valley of the waves?  There is nothing in front of you but the vast boiling sea, but you have no fear, because understanding the law of gravity and inertia you know that your feet will make contact with the boat again within a fraction of a moment.  You understand these laws, you trust these laws, you trust your safety to them, even while you challenge the volatile nature of the sea and gain a new experience of freedom and capability.  Should humanity not challenge the boiling sea of human problems and experience the freedoms that an understand of reality has made mankind capable of?

We live in an exciting age of the greatest mental challenges ever put before mankind, coupled with the greatest advances in technologies for freedom that have ever been made on this planet.  Today's age has the potential to be the brightest in all of human history, if we will but act.  But, then, we may also choose not to act, and die the death of underdevelopment, poverty, and oligarchic measures of depopulation by which the oligarchy maintains its differential of power.  I would rather that we reach for the stars.
