1/ I read this yesterday and it made me realize how deeply we are into the American Cultural Revolution, and that made me start to think about cultural revolutions (henceforth "CR") more generally. Where they come from, how they end, what happens after they end.https://twitter.com/robinhanson/status/1223308127413497856 …

7/ ...and finally: * CR runs out of enthusiasm / calories. Ooh, wait, a fourth one. There's one story, I maybe heard it from
@hradzka , about how one Mid Eastern terror brigade was dismantled: the leadership married off all of the young fighters, gave them stipends.Show this thread -
8/ I agree. Anyone else want to nominate other CRs? (However, one theory: perhaps CR can't exist without sufficient information technology. This dovetails with my theory that Hitler can't exist without radio and trains.)https://twitter.com/robinhanson/status/1223310206332882944 …

10/ Anyway, I'd love to see a full science of CRs: * how they form * using that knowledge, how to prevent them * how they end * using that knowledge, how to end them earlier, with a lower body count

French ended when Robes-Pierre lost his head, right? Otherwise it ended with Napoleon.

The end of the French Revolution is Bonaparte, and having read Dershowitz's remarks from the other day I can only surmise it is on the march
