When contemplating about the achievements and limitations of past civilizations one often fails to take into account the difference in population of the past times compared to our own. Greek civilization in its entirety was contained in a population of 10s of thousands as compared to a 100s of millions of our time. One thought that comes from this contemplation is the possibility of having island universes in this world. This is a concept much different from countries. Why cant there exist a Greek nation state somewhere in this earth. Why is it that human culture should always tend towards assimilation and a pan human communism.
