The US could have been an empire that lasts. Innovation was skyrocketing in the mid 19th century. The Prussian school system and the civil war put a lid on that. Can't have the masses being self aware and intelligent. The 1970's was just the last nail in our coffin. Oh well, there's always the next empire to try and achieve postscarcity.
