And modern history, since we can speak and have recorded thought, at least 10,000 years, right?

So ultimately, somehow we'll make it through, most likely.

And of course, we're an empire like any other empire, you know.

And yes, this...

This Western-style liberal democracy, you know, you can be pessimistic about it.

And then, of course, England, right?
