we are the middle child of history
in the history of human existence, we are the first generations of the middle child.
the older child had discovered fire, created electricity, developed languages, introduced hygiene, made penicillin, reached outer space and gone to the moon (allegedly) and, our favorite, created the world wide web. humans have come very far from the hunter gatherers of years ago. development was rapid and promising of better times to come. the times were better and still are due to the older child’s contributions.
today, we are the middle child of history. we have very few insignificant things to offer to the human race that are positive. what we offer are war, famine and weapons more intelligent than ken jennings. we are moving forward but we are not moving forward. from the beginning of civilization until the year 2000 a.d., was a time of great innovation and development in human society, filled with miraculous inventions, changes and discoveries. 1920 a.d. until God knows when, was the age of terrible hatred and loss of relations among the lands. what do we have to offer now? self-tanning lotion and vibrating penises.
i have no special skills to contribute. i am a normal person. i hope those who do have positive things to offer to offer it. become the pride of history. invent a teleporting device. discover the cure for aids. free the hungry. become the next generation. become the last child of history.
