Let it run its full course, and humanism will lead to an unimaginably horrific dystopia. Think "Brave New World", by Aldous Huxley. The surest way to make a man stumble and fall is to puff him up with flattery and tell him how wise and sure-footed he is.


Maybe though I rather doubt it. Time will tell.


The problem is that humanism is more of a flavor found in philosophies rather than a specific lineage or school.

Marx was humanist, so time already told I guess.
