The New Age of Skepticism

The time for petty politics is passed. The next century will bring the struggle for the dominion of the world, the compulsion to great politics. I do not say this as one who desires it. In my heart I should rather prefer the contrary. Russia would have to make up its mind to become equally threatening by means of a new caste to rule over the continent. A persistent dreadful will of its own can set its aims thousands of years ahead. It might finally be brought to a close.
