I see no reason why, in a thousand years, it shouldn't be possible to make more emotionally balanced people. And I'm quite serious. A thousand years ago the streets and towns of Europe were populated in great part by people with what would be to us unbearable and unnecessary physical deformities and afflictions. Cripples, hunchbacks, the legless, the armless, the lepers, those with harelips, the halt and the lame and the blind. Walk anywhere in the first world today and they aren't there. Or they're there but cured or using prostheses that of course weren't even dreamed of a thousand years ago. They're certainly not confined to special "hospital" barracks as they were not all that long ago.

Just as the techniques by which we have eliminated a lot of the physical suffering were developed over a long period of time, why shouldn't the same thing happen to the emotionally unbalanced (or whatever other term you want to use)? People are so ridiculously ingenious, and getting more so by the century. We're not going to get rid of emotionality, it's true; that's about as fundamental to human beings as having two arms and a head. But unbalance? Why not? I don't know that many people really appreciate what the human race (animals, every one of them) has done over the past ten thousand years, or the past thousand years, or the past two hundred years. We take so much for granted. The future will be very interesting indeed, and very different. Take care!
