As a matter of fact, yes. The point of Asimov's book was that mankind was mind-bogglingly stupid or foolish to the point that they'd destroy two universes through their bull-headed stupidity. :). (My opinion/intepretation, of course...and it's been a longish while since I've read it!) I'm not familiar with the "Schiller" line that is being referred to. What's that from?
