What do you thing about the Middle Ages ?

Europe suffered the fall of the Western Roman Empire and shattered into many small kingdoms.

But this meant lots of trouble (war) - at least for a few centuries.

So I don't share your optimism but I still believe Graham is right.

We need "forces pushing us together".

But that usually means a common goal/ennemy.

That's probably (partly) why Trump was so successfull in his attempt to unite the political right.

Another example would be the space race.

I recommend reading about the pax romana tho.

You're right. I'm actually not optimistic: There will be a war. Worse than the last two world conflicts. So pretty bad...
