Do we not marvel at ancient Roman buildings and aqueducts? They may be primitive by today's standards, but they are very impressive for the time when they were built, and demonstrate the potential of a promising young species.

And now, those great works lie in ruin, their potential squandered by the unchecked destructive impulses of cultists, emperors, and barbarians.

Will that dark history repeat once again, this time on a global scale? It seems likely…
