"Carrying on tradition? For what purpose and to what end? Is it that we as humans are so unsure of ourselves, so afraid of progress and open-mindedness that we would rather hold dear the ways of decaying ideas and systems that have long been washed away with the ocean of change and improvement? Are we so sedated by the comfortable life achievements of money, cars, a decent home, and a picket fence? Is that the true expression of human excellence? Could we not create pyramids like the ancient Egyptians? Could we not be well versed in mathematics and art? What about a new Library of Alexandria, free from religious persecution, a flourishing testament to human ideals and knowledge? Why should we be impressed by super rich tastes in shiny objects with no real substance?"
