I think that what may change our views the most is our view of human nature. I believe that all humans (myself included) are prone to corruption and that the accumulation of power amplifies that inherent tendency. Since institutions are made up of human actors, they will always become more corrupt and stray from their purpose and become self interested. Thus a perfect civilization will never be achieved. Various heights can be obtained but will decay. Containment is key.
