“THEY CAN SWALLOW & DIGEST MORE & MORE NATIONS & TERRITORIES
WITHOUT ALTERING THEIR BASIC STRUCTURE & APPETITE”
[Yuval Noah Harari, SAPIENS A BRIEF HISTORY OF HUMANKIND]
“The global empire being forged before our eyes is not governed by any particular state
or ethnic group. Much like the late Roman Empire, it is ruled by a multi-ethnic elite,
and is held together by a common culture & common interests. Throughout the world,
more & more entrepreneurs, engineers, experts, scholars, lawyers & managers are
called upon to join the empire. They must ponder whether to answer the imperial call or
to remain loyal to their state and their people. More and more choose the empire.” (p.232)
