There's this scene in Monty Python's The Meaning Of Life where the beginning of life is made special by the extremely advanced and equally extremely expensive medical machine that goes 'ping'.

Because it was decided long ago that Star Trek type gadgets are better and more practical.

Building character creates inconsistencies, and we wouldn't want to scare Ethel.

Inconsistencies are what we are. Do NOT take that from us.
Humans are monsters, we will never change, we will always want to claw out the throats of those with a difference in opinion, we will never be in an age of peace because of our lust for war, poverty will continue to exist as long as monetary needs exist. We rape, enslave, and conquer with no regards to others. We live by the sword, and we will, justifiably, die by the sword.

Hope is for unrealistic idealists. Pessimism is your friend.

I hope no mailboxes were harmed in the making of that video I know you recorded for others to watch, because that's where I get my meals from.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.
