Oh the good ol' days or the burning of the scholars, I mean, the heretics

Me being drama queen but IMHO, its the dark ages again where church doctrine dictated what knowledge was destroyed or kept,  which discoveries are made, what can even be sought! Like the burned codices and volumes upon volumes locked away in Rome, hidden from human eyes.... a time when fear and mistrust and insecurity send masses seeking answers, some who  find comfort and purpose in hate and denial. Yes, a March for Science was a start. I fear the darkness will grow darker before an Age of Reason commences. How wonderful  for an Age of Enlightenment & Compassion to emerge from the ashes. To believe, naive as it may be, that the world would be closer to ending the horrors of war, disease, hate and pollution; closer to understanding the universe - planets, people, space, oceans, everything from physics to medicine if not for

the massacre of knowlege....
