Because I didn’t mention “those great ancient civilizations” doesn’t imply that I mean the opposite. Any history book will show you the atrocities committed by humans against each other for false reasons that today we say to “how could they?”
I was simply engaging in a philosophical question of what if.

And any newspaper will show you the atrocities committed by contemporary humans against each other, for false reasons that out forefathers would have said "how could they [not learn a single damn thing we taught them]?" The fact that we do not share their biases do not make our behavior any better, nor our excuses any less petty, dumb or self-serving. And rest asured that our descendants will judge us just as harshly as we judge today those that came before us. Such is human nature.
