Yes, the best and the worst, the selfish vs the enlightened.
I think the enlightened are approaching a time in history where we understand we must put aside Religion, race, nationalism and all these things that are ultimately exploited by and for the selfish to pit us against eachother.
Once these facades drop away we will be able to see who is who without their guises, fronts and tools of mass manipulation.
I am always very amused by the self-congratulatory hypocrisy and illusions of those who anoint themselves with the mantles of true enlightenment and unselfishness.
Unfortunately their ridiculous pretenstions often hide the harm they will do if given the chance. The historical track record of the self appointed elites who know what is good for other mortals and who insist that they abandon all other loyalties for the new whatever that moves the new vanguard -- is pretty grim. In view of the awful history of the 20th century, it is disappointing to see equivalent soft-headed nonsense circulating again, even in such unpromising quarters.. However, humanity is large and, as P.T. Barnum famously said, "There's one born every minute".
