OK, cool.

And sure, I was just making sure I understood your position; your emphasis on the point we are in history left me uncertain whether there was some other point where it wasn't true.

I now feel compelled to add that to the extent that I expect you to act accordingly I will avoid you having power over anyone I care about, as I distrust the willingness to sacrifice existing people in order to enable a vision of our glorious future. That sort of thing has an iffy hit rate with humans; we tend to be overconfident about our specific details of our visions of glorious futures.
