I don't think the decline of Western civilization is inevitable, because I don't think history operates in this kind of life-cycle model, beautifully illustrated by Thomas Cole's "Course of Empire" paintings.
Ne mislim da je propast zapadne civilizacije neizbježna jer ne mislim da povijest funkcionira po ovakvom životnom ciklusu, koji je predivno ilustrirao Thomas Cole na svojim slikama "Put imperija".
