    I think they could have won 100 years ago

    And yet they didn’t

    and I think they could win tomorrow.

    And yet they won’t.

          you don’t know the future anymore than I. you don’t know what the next revolution will look like or what would start it.

            Want to bet on it?

            Not everyone has completely abandoned the idea of material reality the way you have.

              do I want to bet that you don’t know the future? absolutely. here’s a proof.

              knowledge is defined as a justified true belief.
you can't have evidence about the future because it hasn't happened.
truth claims about the future have no value because it hasn't happened.
there is no justification that can produce knowledge about the future.

you don't know the future.

              edit: oh fuck. I was supposed to bet something. how about a loaf of bread?
