30 Days of Heinlein - Day 5

The future is better than the past. Despite the crepehangers, romanticists, and anti-intellectuals, the world steadily grows better because the human mind, applying itself to environment, makes it better. With hands...with tools...with horse sense and science and engineering. -- The Door Into Summer

    Except that "better" isn't the goal of some extremists. RAH was talking about civilization here, not about the mindless fanatics that want to destroy.

    I've always taken this to mean that those who work hard and work smart will always make things better, even though the rest of the world is trying to drag us back.
