Somewhere last 200 years seems to be showing this link. It will  
worthwhile to think how this works out. We can count numerous  
instance of "out of my way" world views played out with enormous  
violence. How do we think this? By counting instances of such  
occurrences, do we get a better grip on this? or accumulation makes  
us think that this is the only way the worlds are made and thus the  
only way for future world making?

Is there possible other ways of making the world?
