Yeah no, he also has a point.
Humanity may survive but that is the same as saying not to worry about climate change because Earth will survive; it’s of little help to me here, right now
The reality of the situation is that you don’t know. Just because history worked in a certain way doesn’t mean the future will, especially with the rapid changes we’re facing today

Every single authoritarian in history has fallen out faded away. Every single one. Will you and/or I see it? Probably not, although I hope that we are close to a cusp in history. The pendulum has been artificially pushed to the right, the current status has been built on lies and deceit - it can’t be sustained.

The Roman empire still has a long lasting legacy to this day. There is a reason so many countries have the eagle on their standard. And where do you think the month August comes from? The empire as a whole is looked upon fondly in history, despite being one built from conquest and authoritarian rule, with its leaders still praised to this day.
