- blahi 10y agoThe decline of the West? Published in 1918 and followed by the best 100 years in human history? I like the quote but the irony is just too big for me.
- jon-wood 10y agoYup, World War II was a ball. Everyone loved that, thought it was a highlight of human history (I'll concede the following fifty years have been pretty good if you live in the right part of the world with the right descendants).
- blahi 10y agoThey have been good for every part of the world. And wars are a fact for the entirety of human civilization. I'll take doubling the life expectancy of people China, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, other Asian counties, as well as most of Africa as a "concession". Thank you very much!
