english: My acquaintance with the statistics of human progress, starting with violence but now encompassing every other aspect of our well-being, has fortified my belief that in understanding our tribulations and woes, human nature is the problem, but human nature, channeled by Enlightenment norms and institutions, is also the solution.
non_english: Moja upućenost u statistiku ljudskog napretka, počevši sa nasiljem, ali koja sada obuhvata sve druge aspekte našeg blagostanja, učvrstila je moje uverenje da razmevajući naša stradanja i jade, ljudska priroda jeste problem, ali ljudska priroda, kanalisana normama prosvetiteljstva i institucija, takođe je rešenje.
