The Fate of Civilization: A Dialogue Between Contentment and Discontent The researcher of the age said: I entered the glorious Cairo to search for the distinction it has maintained since its founding, enduring the calamities of time, and it has not declined like its sisters in Iraq and the Levant. Before that, I met with the former Minister of Education, and the conversation turned to the causes of wealth and poverty and the results of monopoly, so he introduced me to a new book that lifted the veil on the harms of civilization and foretold its fate, similar to what happened to the civilization of the Greeks and Romans, or whether measures should be taken to divide the earth equally among the various classes of humanity. As for progress in arts and crafts, that is the greatest calamity, because it has made man more independent of his brother and established iron tools that know neither fatigue nor exhaustion, the position of man, and the procurement of food from sources where it has no price; thus, the yields of the earth have failed, the markets for farmers and harvesters have stagnated, and the wealthy owners of ships and factories have become established by the wind. In these individuals, intellectual powers reach their peak, so they invent, discover, deduce, and lead the entire people in the fields of civilization. The researcher said: Al-Radi had not yet finished his speech when I said to them both: It has become clear from what you have both detailed that the human species is collectively traveling on the path of progress, even if some of its groups decline after their ascent; its condition is like that of every living organism.
