You seem to believe that history is guided by some sort of moral entity.
Interesting remark.
Let's be clear first, there is no moral entity and I do not believe in moral but in ethics.
Now.. There are people who think that we tend toward progress. And to those people, people like me are saying "no, don't be so sure". Technological Progress and social progress are not a given, we could very well end up in a void of darkness for millenias if we are not careful or even regress back to the stone age.
This is something rightist often tend to struggle with. As they think fascism is just a thing of the past.. while they are reproducing the exact principle that brought it to life in the first place..
This is for the rationnal part of my mind, when we take a bigger look at history and our potential.
Now... If we look even bigger, to a specie level scale.. things - in my opinion - will tend to smooth up. There is indeed a part of me who believe that conscious and organized social civilizations over hundreds of millenias, tends, by essence, toward positive behavior relative to said conscious life. Which also mean that two different civilizationnal life forms could very well have different form of "positivity" that could be contradictory which would prevent them from interaction on a physical level.
The reason why I think life progress toward more "
relative social and technological positivity" is simply because organized social life form tend to avoid what make it suffers. So, at the end of the end of the day, I think this principle is a strong enough pressure to push any civilization toward a relative self social and technological progress.
The universe allows an almost infinite number of combinaison.. So, no matter how many times a civilization fail. As long as it is alive, there should be one moment where darkness will not be strong enough to hold on in front of light.
This is why, while arguing a lot here because I don't want anyone to suffer, I have faith in our specie. Utopia is coming.
