In 1975 I was offered a position at IBM in their marketing sector. They would have paid me a high salary but I declined their offer. I know the ways of this universe, and I know when an empire is at the verge of destruction. I told them this in the interview and they laughed in my face. Telling me how there was virtually no competition for them, and even if there was, there would be no possibility that they could ever take over. I laugh at this moment now, for many reasons I don't need to bring up. Remember that no matter how powerful an empire is, their biggest weakness is usually the aspect they think is their biggest strength.
