There have been various periods where a system, any system, has ruled totally over a known human area.
In antiquity, there have been many incredible civilisations, that have done amazing things.
And then they disappear. For good.
And for some reason, no-one picks up the torch and runs with it. No one is interested.
Its gone...and its gone for good.
Lots of civilisations, that did amazing things.
So why did they disappear??
Greeks.Romans.Egypt.Mexico.South America.Middle east.Far East.
They're all gone...gone.
Every.single.one.of.them.
No civilisation seems to have seriously outlived 1000 years. None of them.
We have had wars and systems in this century for example(last 100 years).
Nazism. Communism. Vietnam.
NOT ONE of these events, despite the massive human effort involved in each conflict or effort, has altered the basic movement forwards of the underlying human civilisations that propped up these systems, or opposed them, or ignored them.
Its as if these systems, and their apologists, come and go, like the wind.
Rome.Communism.Capitalism. Yada yada yada.
But only a MINORITY crave power and glory.
MOST of us only want to get the Fuk on with life, have kids, feed em, enjoy whats left.
Religion survives because of its simplicity, and adaptability for the tribe.(Yup.Tribe.)
But the human collective endures throughout all these efforts at permanent control, and trundles onwards towards its destiny.
Whatever the heck that is...
