John Winthrop would have agreed with you, for the record. He and his Puritans genuinely believed in building that city in a hill.
The ancient Greeks would have considered the proposition absurd. Humans are what they are, there is no progress.
If anything, the past is more glorious than the future.
As a southerner, and a high church Episcopalian, I side with the Greeks.
