Today's Enlightenment: What Our Stupid Ancestors Missed

We know so much more than all previous generations. We can now look down on their backward thinking, especially concerning these things we now know:

• When people disagree with you, they are intolerant.
• Marriage is optional for sexual relations. It offers no real benefit to society or individuals.
• Every sexual expression is fine, as long as it’s consensual.
• There is nothing sacred about sex. It’s just recreation.
• There is no reason to associate sex with parenthood. We can make sure of it.
• Nature is wrong to confine people to either femaleness or maleness. Now we can fix that.
• Nature is wrong to assign people to maleness of femaleness. Now we can switch it.
• Almost everything can be digitized, even friendship. 
• Algorithms should do much of our thinking.
• In-person contact is overrated. Communication is much easier when digitized.
• Life without entertainment is unbearable.
• All risk must be eliminated from childhood play; nothing is more important than children's safety.
• It is bad for children to be bored. Someone has to fix it.
• Pain is always bad and must always be avoided, if at all possible.
• There is a pill for that. Ask your doctor.
• There’s an app for that, whatever it is.
• Negative consequences for any action should be eliminated everywhere possible.
• When something bad happens to you, somebody else should have stopped it.
• We have rights because the government says we do.
• Majority rule determines what is right and what is wrong.
• We have a long list of absolute necessities, including: cars, TVs, cell phones, internet service, and air conditioning.
• The only meaning to life is what we bring to it.
• The world is an accident, but we can make the most of it.
