You seem to have a rather romantic view of these things. You know the problems we face: mperial over extension, high levels of economic inequality, climate change, extreme political polarization, the appearance of extreme cultural movements on both the right and left that could form the basis for a modern version of the religious wars, etc.
These are just going to go away because people "get rid of the old thinking and settle down into the high mentality."?
