the end of history?

how self centered---- just because most people in the world live under some form of democracy does not mean that we have reached the end of history. There was a point in time where most people lived under a monarchy. That did not make it the end of time. And honestly how egocentric it is to think that we have it figured out--- all of human civil evolution lead to.... -drum roll please--- democracy! We live under the best conceptual social structure possible to man-- philosophers dont need to philosophies, soldiers can put down their weapons and we can all be happy!! we have it all figured out. I think in a few hundred years from now people will laugh at this notion. Kind of like we laugh at people who thought the earth was flat.
