This confirms to me a belief I've long held that we've only advanced as a species technologically, which, granted, has given fantastic benefits and is a good thing. But we confuse this with moral, ethical, and indeed logical advancement, which I maintain we have not demonstrated at all.

Great minds! Furthermore, the advancements in ethics and logic that we did make appear to have been shuffled down towards the bottom of the deck, while science/technology has become the new god of everything.

Good luck with the move! Always a major operation. Off to warmer climes? One day we're gonna catch up again for a beer or two - or even a mead...
