Yuval Noah Harari said on a fairly recent episode of Bill Maher that it takes much longer to build institutions than it does to tear them down. Hearing that, I had that uncanny experience of reaching an accurate comprehension of something really, really obvious but also hidden within plain language. Perhaps it was the timing of his message.

One of my sisters used the film’s last line as her .sig file for a time back in the nineties.
