Perhaps in time the so-called Dark Ages will be thought of as including our own.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Everybody thinks that this civilization has lasted a very long time but it really does take very few grandfathers' granddaughters to take us back to the dark ages.
I just think that some version of the past in our culture is going to rise up and become dominant.
All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark.
I think the Enlightenment is leading us into a dark hole, really.
I like to say 'Reign' is the '24' of the pre-Renaissance. I think we're going to take a lot of liberties with history, as well as extend it over a longer period of time.
I realised that if I wished to write about the dark and not allow for hope, people would recognise it as false - because hope is the nub of what we are.
I'm intrigued by the dark. Out of darkness comes creation.
The only hope is that our civilization will collapse at a certain point, as always happens in history. Then, out of barbarity, a renaissance.
What I'm suggesting to you is that this could be a renaissance. We may be on the cusp of a future which could provide a tremendous leap forward for humanity.
It would be wonderful if I could see the end of civilization during my lifetime.
