the great transition, which began at the turn of the 22nd century.

THE GREAT TRANSITION

偉大的轉變

I would describe the pre-transition period as a race:

前轉變時期就像一場拉鋸戰

a race between human wisdom and complete societal catastrophe.

人類發揮智慧阻止社會崩壞

Which is what happens when a technologically advanced culture isn't mature enough

當時科技雖然先進 但文化不夠成熟

to understand the nature of its own power.

無法洞悉自身的能力

It's easy for us to look back and wonder

how the insanity of that time went on for as long as it did.

loyalties to bogus political, religious and economic philosophies,

so strong, that we barely made it to the more stable world of today.

我們好不容易革除舊思維 才實現今日的穩定

And how did we get to this great transition? Well,

我們是如何達成這場偉大的轉變呢

it was quite the drama.

過程非常戲劇化

The traditional avenues of that world's so-called democracies

傳統的途徑 也就是當時的「民主」

certainly provided no such route.

早已證實行不通了

It would take the rise of a kind of apolitical subculture,

起作用的是政治圈以外的某種次文化

a subculture existing far outside of the dominant establishments,

這種次文化與主流體制相去甚遠

to help guide our civilization in the right direction, and

卻引導我們的文明步入正軌

I must say it is quite the story.

那真是一段偉大的歷史
