What goes up, must come down, and whatever empire there ever has been, has finally fallen. Before the present it were decades of boasting that everything is in climb, is raising, is getting better, is growing forever.

Nothing is forever. The day not of the Triffids but the Bills gets closer. Our current society has never been designed to be lasting and to be sustainable. It always maximised the short-termed spike and short-living sensation at the cost of the long-lasting perspective. It always spent more than it could afford, and built no reserves for bad times that inevitably sooner or later come to any society as well. It always wanted tot to maintain, but to grow, endlessly, and it designed itself to even depend on growing endlessly - which is a lethal verdict, of course.

Everything since 1945 has just been seen as an endless party with all drinks for free.
