Of course newest is redundant after up and coming, but I was thinking 
of a couple hundred year compared to a couple thousand years.

There should be at least a hint that all is provisional and subject 
to change.


>Can anything cure such a wide-spread inculcation of hubris?

It is hubris!  -  If there were a cure, it might cure the 
subject/object myth too.  If not all is conceptually constructed, 
than at least all is not independent things, but patterns.

The show was wonderful, though, and I loved every minute.  I did exit 
grumbling 'That's not the Truth but the best understanding at the 
present.'  Luckily my daughter knows better than to ask what I 
meant.  The kids, ages 6, 8 & 10 were very impressed, so I tried to 
talk them into becoming astrophysicists.  Oh well...
