- nostrademons 9y agoHaving "not utterly failed" for 240 years is a fairly big accomplishment, precisely because the lifespan of many other societal organizing principles is about equal to a human lifespan (~80 years).
- jerrylives 9y agoUh it kinda failed big time in the '20s and '30s
- r00fus 9y agoThe results were War, big ones at that. So a pretty bad failure mode for millions.
- carapace 9y ago> Having "not utterly failed" for 240 years is a fairly big accomplishment No. Not even a little. The dinosaurs lasted more than a million times as long. If we talking hominids do not last half a billion years or more we are pathetic losers.
