Century of the self!

I think this question above -- how can we confront this situation --is a moment that has the capacity for development (it's a question,and attempting to answer it is development)

How does this explain 'friend'?

seeing darkness is an activity and a 'singular ability'. Reading everything,knowing everything (of course, not possible). Being able to advance aeld is to be able to know where its limits are and to be know what isneeded to advance it.Knowing your contemporary age is to know how it will be seen, how itselds will advance and why; identifying latent trends in power struggles
