"The dynamics of history are not aimed at increasing human well-being. We have no reason to believe that the most successful cultures in history are also the best for Homo sapiens. Like evolution, history has no regard for the happiness of individual organisms. And human individuals are generally too ignorant and weak to shape the course of history to their advantage.

""A történelem dinamikái nem az emberi jólét növelésére irányulnak. Semmi alapunk nincs azt gondolni, hogy a történelem legsikeresebb kultúrái egyben a legjobbak is a Homo sapiens számára. Az evolúcióhoz hasonlóan a történelem sincs tekintettel az egyedi organizmusok boldogságára. Az emberi individuumok pedig általában túlságosan tudatlanok és gyengék ahhoz, hogy a maguk előnyére alakítsák a történelem folyását."
