“People didnt believe in the past, and they didnt believe in the present or the future because they were told constantly they are were headed toward one cataclysm or another, that before them lays a smorgasbord of dooms. They believed only in the far future where adventures took place on distant planets nothing like Earth and involved characters little or nothing like contemporary human beings or they wanted parallel words with wizards and warlocks, where all problems were solved with wands, spells, and the summoning of demons.”
