  • I realize now that there’s two interpretations here; faith in humanity’s goodness, and faith in humanity’s survival.

    I like your take—that it’s probably the same set of people but we’re aware of more of people globally. I’d say since systems heavily shape people, it depends how those evolve over time. Hard to say whether we’re better or worse off than before in terms of systems mostly shaping good or bad traits in people. Total shot on the dark but I think on the whole we have better systems. The historical trend line looks positive in the equitable and empowering direction.

    For survival I unfortunately think the probability decreases over time as we command more energy and climate altering technology. Fewer people than ever can do more damage than ever. I think there will always be humans on earth, but they may have to restart civilization. Ugh.



  • Thank you so much for your response!

    I feel the same way. I was looking into a Udemy course for those Cisco exams (not to take the exam, just to learn) and I was discouraged that the content is so vendor specific.

    Do you have a recommendation on “neutral” learning? I have access to a fair amount of Udemy of that helps. Also happy to read static text, though preferably written as more of a tutorial than just a raw RFC or man page.
