That was only because they followed the periods before, “The Dark Ages” followed by the “age of faith” which was marginally better. Unfortunately there is a return to a reliance on faith (not just religion) where people just rely on one source of information and are blinkered to all others. I must admit I am guilty of this at times, though I do try to be more open to new/different ideas.
I looked up Jim Wright on Google and the only people I could find were a long dead former speaker of the U.S. House of Reps (died 2015) (also an Australian minor TV/Film producer). Who is this Jim Wright referred to here and what are his credentials?
