I wholeheartedly agree with the statement that we must go back to the past and reeducate ourselves on problems solved and questions asked. Fortunately for humanity there is in the UK a remarkable paper trail to go back to for research. Unfortunately, for our future selves going back to today to analyze, we will be met with far too much data, some relevant and some wholly inaccurate, we will be drowning in data, while parched for insights.

The UK's biggest problem is moralization. Believing in itself. We lost the search for the riddle and that was our downfall.

The answer to life, the universe and everything the computer spits out in Douglas Adams Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy is 42. Interestingly Jesus was born & came down through 3×14 generations =42 hence the answer is and always will be Jesus Christ. The word and God made flesh, the express image of the invisible God made visible. (See Luke & Matthew for the genealogy)

And an excerpt of the end paragraph from the first page of Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy is as follows:

"And then, one Thursday, nearly two thousand years after one man had been nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a change, a girl sitting on her own in a small café in Rickmansworth suddenly realized what it was that had been going wrong all this time, and she finally knew how the world could be made a good and happy place. This time it was right, it would work, and no one would have to get nailed to anything.

Sadly, however, before she could get to a phone to tell anyone about it, a terrible, stupid catastrophe occurred, and the idea was lost for ever"....
