You're right about our inevitable decline, Max. And I think it may happen within my lifetime. I think that we've gotten too big to do anything but fall apart from the inside out. Barring some massive alliance of a whole bunch of countries against us, I believe that's how it'll go down.

If I sound like I'm rooting for this, it's just that I find the idea intriguing. We've become so big, so powerful, and so arrogant, that we've developed the same immortality complex that, I'm sure, was the downfall of many an empire.
