On the bright side, there is plenty of anecdotal evidence that psychedelics can massively accelerate this learning process. And with the foolish restrictions on (and falsified reputations of) these mysterious compounds finally relaxing, I see the possibility that a phase of massive advancement of humanity could materialize. But then if that did start to get underway, the old guard could assert its control just as easily as it did last time. In my estimation, Communist Russia was a "reasonable" excuse for that unfortunate decision, and China seems like at least as good a reason this time around. Freedom of communication afforded by the internet could have been our saving grace this time, but as luck would have it we happen to be well into an era of that freedom becoming more censored as time goes on.
