Europe will live

I’m generally pessimistic about Europe. And the West. But optimistic about all sorts of other things.

Pessimistic about politics, culture and society in the west.
Optimistic about science and technology.

Brivael Le Pogam, French entrepreneur and essayist, suggests I should be a little more optimistic about Europe. I sure hope he’s right. Time alone will tell. But how much time?

/Snip:

This continent hasn’t had its last word. It won’t. As long as one man remains to love what he has received, to want to pass it on intact, to prefer a hard truth to a comfortable lie—Europe will live.
