It would behoove my Gentle Readers to engage the clutch of a 'search engine' and locate both Hesiod's "Ages of Man" and those of the Roman Great, Ovid . Hesiod's "Works and Days" house the Ages and Ovid's "Metamorphoses" contain his . I find it Necessary to introduce these >Ages< because they provide an Academic >Context< for the Present Conditions of Civilization . I KNOW that "Understanding" is NOT >Enough< for the Mind to achieve Peace, but 'it' DOES provide a framework or scaffolding with which to VIEW our Position within Political Evolution . It seems awkward that a View of the Present can offer a View of the Future, but what is Important is that the GOAL of Civilization, which I contend to be UTOPIA, can be "Seen" and the Trajectory of Humankind's Effort can be adjusted or altered to ensure that the Goal can be Reached .
Thing is, WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE LOOKING AT HERE ? Hesiod and Ovid are LONG-SINCE DEAD, didn't their "Iron Age" die with them ? If not, WHY not ????? !!!!
Good Question ... .
