Those are the guys that put man on the moon, they have street cred.
We do more and more with less and less resources, increasing the wealth from fewer natural resources by being conservative, and wasting less.
Crime is actually down, if you look at the stats, and ignore the media.
In the '60s, concealed firearms were not legal in my state. Today, they are.
Fortunately, your belief in any technological breakthrough isn't required for it to happen.

The guys that put a man on the moon are in nursing homes. For that matter, the guy that set foot on the moon is dead. Academics, in the pride of themselves, are as silly as the next class of people. Higher vision is needed and, currently, we lack that.
We HAVE more with less work because we are selling our birthright and we exploit the labor of others around the world. We make bargains with devils for the sake of a cheeseburger or two. Bon apetit!
Crime is down due, currently to aging population, boomer transition, and 2A issues - none of which have anything to do with Maritians.
Unfortunately, our progress and blessing rested in God’s mercy. We do little to deserve that today and our past glories are frail foundations for living in scientific fictions.
