Gobineau continued en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_de_Gobineau to insist that this evolution toward nothingness was “hopeless.” Our time is that of the “last sigh” of humanity. Henceforth, we experience “through a secret horror, that the rapacious hands of destiny are already lain upon us.” Death was near, it was total, and it was definitive. Another six or eight thousand years of an agony caused by uninformity, apathy, and stupor, and “the globe, become mute, will continue -- albeit without us -- to follow its impassive orbs in space.” ~ Page 107
