letting the passage of time and the generations improve things.
Things change because they're made to change rather than because the changes are inevitable, inescapable.
I'm thinking hard on that question.
I do...
think that there is a chain reaction and that certain kinds of changes make other kinds of changes more likely.
I do, for example, think that, as I said earlier, that the challenge to women's rights became far more likely on the heels of movements concerned with the rights of enslaved people.
So I do think that, you know, you can also extend this to, you can actually see these chain reactions even more recently, right?
I mean, the civil rights movement in important ways, in the United States anyway, in important ways made possible the gay rights movement.
Could, you know, rights for gays and lesbians been possible absent the civil rights movement?
Yeah, I'm sure.
But was it more likely because of the model?
Yeah.
So the sequence kind of matters for these things.
And it's not clear that you can segregate one off from the other.
I mean, you might even say—I'm not sure why I think about this—but you might even say that in the longest possible term, Christianity—
made anti-slavery more likely, even though it took 1,500 years for that to get worked out.
You know, I mean, I don't know.
I mean, I think you can sort of play the, you can sort of, you know, things do build on each other.
But I don't know.
Is there something that I can think of that I would be willing to cast as inevitable?
