Apart from the horrible Americanised lack of an 'and' before the last word, I have to say I whole heartedly concur with my friend and nemesis in utterly unequal parts, Mr Detritus on this strikingly poignant sentiment from the first page...
Read again and then get back to your shitty lives until you die a meaningless death and leave behind and even more futile dirge of memories for your utterly inconsequential wadges of degenerated dna you call family to mourn over.
"The obvious thing left out of statements like "All historical empires have collapsed under their own weight.." is the fact that humanity blundered on regardless, unless I'm a starving Mesopotamian caught up in some weord hallucination, of course.
The fall of Rome didn't mean the sudden death of however million Romans that existed back then. The Mesopotamian empires transmogrified into other entities, people moved, some people died. All the rest survived and perpetuated their lineages.
Evolution requires failure, otherwise we'd remain mired in ignorant stasis.

We're smart creatures, some of us'll get though and do even greater things in future.
