I swear we can't have anything nice.

There was a counter-protest of women from the island to keep that tradition.

There are ghouls and trogolodytes among us and they arent going anywhere. We have to find a way to maximize humanities better nature and minimize the bad stuff. We just have no idea how to do that.

For starters, Religion in general has clearly failed us and been more of a problem than any sort of help. How much better of a world would it be without any concept of holy lands or tribal traditions that are worth dying over?
