Well, you sort of lose track after the first 20,000 years or so.

In those days, in those distant days, in those nights, in those remote nights, in those years, in those distant years; in days of yore, when the necessary things had been brought into manifest existence, in days of yore, when the necessary things had been for the first time properly cared for, when bread had been tasted for the first time in the shrines of the Land, when the ovens of the Land had been made to work, when the heavens had been separated from the earth, when the earth had been delimited from the heavens, when the fame of mankind had been established...

Certainly I was a really wild man for the first few millenia until Shamhat calmed me down.

Sometimes I miss her (she really was luscious); other times I still get angry with her over this whole civilisation nonsense.

Worry not, for we as a species are well on our way of outsmarting ourselves permanently, one way or another.

You are a cat and therefore easily distracted. No need to ponder the inevitable void, for there are things to chase and spots to sleep!

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

Generally speaking a bad idea, agreed.
