I fear they will look upon our societies as attempting to embrace freedom and equality and failing badly by underestimating the powerful force of less successful societies undermining these high ideals. Our ideals are excellent, but in practice, they are doomed to failure. We have too much of what other people want. We are societies in decline, though we don't even know it yet. We are in the twilight of our cultural success. It is down hill from hereon. We are like the end of Rome, we are like the end of Greece. this is how we will be seen when it all collapses.
