A woman on Venus says that a great day is coming when the Angels of the Lord will rise up and the Prophet will reign. The Man is Nehemiah Scudder.
In Poul Anderson's Psychotechnic History
A Humanist in space says that millions on Earth are displaced and embittered. Economic power is shifting to Asia where hundreds of millions distrust the Western New Enlightenment. Men off Earth are building new civilizations in alien environments. The Solar Union will probably break up and the Humanists want to hasten that day.
Changing times in two timelines. In the following instalments:
the Future History shows the overthrow of the Prophets;
the Psychotechnic History shows the overthrow of the Humanists.
In both histories, conflicts continue.

Kaor, Paul!
And conflict will continue to be a big part of our real life and world. And I don't see how conflict can or will ever cease. It's something that can only be managed, not solved.
