PREPARE FOR A NEW IMPERIAL STYLE

As the combined political force of the human species emerges we must expect that it will make itself felt in a new imperial style. Despite the inevitable gains of democracy, diversity, free creative ease & systems complexity -- which tomorrow is pouring upon us -- we still look toward a global civilization whose style will be both newly unique and heir to the joint history of the last 8000 years.

Our slowly accumulating racial & cultural homogeneity, our expansive appetites which transgress geographic borders, our increasingly obvious need for honored planetary military forces, and the progressively sensed mass-strength of "The All-People" will accompany a new grand style of humanist, transcendent mass-political aesthetics which reflect the burden of unprecedented scales of governance and the irrestible allure of extra-planetary expansion.
