Meek Have Inherited the Earth:
"The Scriptures were right: the meek have inherited the Earth. But they do not know it. Though irrevocable, the will has not yet been finally probated in the court of public comprehension. The will says, 'The prospects for humanity are metabolically excellent, intensely interesting, culturally fabulous, and of ever greater intellectual challenge.
“But the will, it must be noted, makes all of humanity its beneficiary. It does not favor or promise unique prosperity to any exclusive blocs of humanity. For the professional secretariat of the Daughters of the Punic Wars; for political spoils systems; for national sovereignties; for annual trade balancing with gold and its concomitant exchange depressions and resultant human wage-and-purchasing-power inequities; for any social, economic, or psychological differentiations of human origins or color; for might makes right; for purchasable accoutrements, architecture, equipment, and gadgets of distinction; and for the plethora of behavioral obnoxica imposed or induced by the supposed inexorability of the Malthus-Darwin theorem of survival only for the slick fittest, it is curtains.”
