RE: We stand upon the threshold of a new era. But some would hold us back.

Your writing is alike the rejection of the limbic system by the cerebral cortex, which I concord. (the deterministic scenario we discussed before)

It is much easier to criticize a system/society (money, hierarchy, government) than recognizing these stem from every human being 'evil' to some degree, a fault in society is a fault in man.
That as a participant in society, to exist in itself, we all shoulder blame.

Au contraire there has to be some inequality for consequences of actions to result in improvement of some condition -not only money, expansion of knowledge/emotional/social all linked.

This depends if you view moral absolutism/consequentialism/
skepticism as in most accordance with reality.

By definition there are limits to things when they are physical in space.

As for the society of lies, if the society is hierarchical (all at present at least broadly) isn't deception always going to exist? (example fiat and crypto -those thinking crypto as a saviour)- created ex nihilo. I will soon be making a theorizing post about a parallel subject.

The search for absolute truth (illusory due to subjective perception?) is required in all societies in all times, as a form of introspection; for to know yourself first is to progress into knowing others.

I sometimes think of truth as an exponential function, where y=difficulty of finding truth, x=progress over time, or perhaps the inverse is true?

Thanks @heretickitten
