“Fiery the Angels rose, and as they rose deep thunder roll’d Around their shores, indignant burning with the fires of Orc”
William Blake
No civilization lasts forever. The Etruscan civilization vanished. The Roman Empire collapsed. The Ancient Egyptians disappeared. But if no civilization lasts forever, in the global struggle for natural resources fueling our economies and feeding our peoples, which civilization might be first to fall? And which one shall outlive all others? The world we live in isn’t the Garden of Eden where all people can coexist in peaceful harmony for all eternity. That’s just a fantasy. The globalization of our struggle means human history has entered its endgame.
