>>7682545You are probably the most polite swiss man I've seen on /pol/. Why are the rest of your people so arrogant.
And on the topic, well, we are on the edge of the biggest event since 9/11 that will define the course of the century. We are in a situation similar to the "le belle epoch" or howewer it is spelled, pardon my non-existent french skills.
Many equate our times with the 20's and Weimar, but we fail to draw the parallels to the pre-WW1 world. We are arrogant, thinking the horrors of the past will not visit us again because of the technology we have, we think that we have reached the ultimate technological peak and science is in a state of limbo not going anywhere. Just like people lamented over the future of a world with radio and air travel, now we have fantasies about VR and space travel.
We are in for a ride !
The event that will define the course of the 21st century is due, and we can feel it.
