“The idea that European civilization is in some way suicidal or self-destructive goes back at least as far as the 18th century, when scholarship about the fall of the Roman Empire led to speculation about what causes civilizations to decline.”
Elon Musk
“There's obviously Gibbon's famous book about the decline and fall of the Roman Empire and how they had advanced technology in terms of roads, aqueducts, plumbing and so forth and then they basically forgot about it.”
