Hardly Confident About The Long Term Well Being Of The Younger Generation

but does that make the possibility less relevant? In the 1920's they did not have the concept of the planet and it's constituents as we do now; their lives were still very local. Nothing is local now and our understanding of how small the earth really is in every aspect, ie. physically, politically, economically, socially is far more advanced than it was 10 years ago let alone the 1920s.

I'm sure if we had newspapers available from the time of the ancient Greeks, they probably would have had similar viewpoints of their world that coincide with my comment as well. But there is a point of saturation, and if there were ever a time where we could begin to see that saturation, it's now. The planet surface is not getting any smaller, and those who live upon that surface are not decreasing in number.
