I’m all for a little dark optimism, especially since the alternative is pretty debilitating. Rock, rock on!

This is very true, although one’s personality relies heavily on non-shared environments. The family, as far as personality psychology can tell, only accounts for about 5% of one’s personality. However, the family can greatly influence a child’s non-shared environments sitll (ie. church, school who they allow their child to be friends with, etc.). So, you’re right, but I prefer to be optimistic about this (albeit in a dark manner).

We eventually saw it on the History Channel and BBC America, so kudos to them for airing it.

The awkward thing about the strategy of outliving them is that they procreate and energetically pass their ideas on to their children. Breaking cycles like that is extraordinarily difficult and is arguably an even greater challenge as people live longer.

I too caught this ad on TV, but I am not sure where. It’s unfortunate, but I think a lot of the population will need to die out before sensible conservatives/Christians can begin making real changes to policy and dogma.

I actually saw this ad today on the TV. Caught it as I was surfing through the History channel. I’m glad to see some channels are showing it.
