Summary

This quote by French philosopher Antoine de Saint-ExupÃ©ry humorously suggests that the concept of monarchy is becoming obsolete. By claiming that in a few years, only the King of England and the four kings in a deck of cards will remain as kings, Saint-ExupÃ©ry indicates a shift towards more egalitarian and democratic societies. He highlights the decreasing influence and relevance of monarchy in a modern world where power is increasingly distributed among individuals rather than concentrated in a few ruling figures.

Past and present religious atrocities have occured not because we are evil, but because it is a fact of nature that the human species is, biologically, only partly rational. Evolution has meant that our prefrontal lobes are too small, our adrenal glands are too big, and our reproductive organs apparently designed by committee; a recipe which, alone or in combination, is very certain to lead to some unhappiness and disorder.
