I mean, we learn more and more about the physical universe, more about our own bodies, more technology, but somehow, down through history, we go on building empires of one kind or another, then destroying them in one way or another.

And when we look at all of that in history, we just shrug our shoulders and say, well, that's the way things are. That's the way things always have been.”
