      18/ When the stellar mass free-falls all the way to the bottom, accelerating all the way, it hits bottom / smashes into itself, and like a cavitation bubble collapsing, the deceleration is HARD. Suddenly there's a ton more energy, and temperatures spike to to insane levels.

      19/ All of this oxygen and carbon and lithium and iron is squeezed together so hot and so dense that a whole new wave of nuclear reactions take place. Strange and weird reactions that "can't" take place because they require so much energy to happen... do. This is nucleogenesis

      20/ This is the process by which basically every atom in the universe that's heavier than iron was created. Every lead wheel weight, every tank of argon welding gas, every neon sign -all of those atoms were born in the death of a start - the insane pressure cooker last seconds.

      21/ This is the final part of my analogy. When, in 5 or 30 years, the Cathedral has burned through the absolute last of its legitimacy - when it screams "freedom" and people laugh, when it yells "but the roads" and they laugh, when it screams "racism" and they laugh - it falls

      22/ The fall takes 200 or 300 years to start, and then lasts 15 minutes. When all of the rubble, falling from insane heights, hits each other, pressures rise, and strange new elements are created. This is how the atoms that make up the Earth were formed. And this ...

      23/ is how I think that the basic elements of the next generation of societies will be created as well. There's an interesting theory I read recently ( maybe in The Narrow Corridor ? https://www.amazon.com/Narrow-Corridor-States-Societies-Liberty-ebook/dp/B07MCRLV2K … maybe somewhere else?) that modern Europe was created by ...

      24/ (or, rather the atoms that later created modern Europe) were created by the collapse of the Roman empire and the fact that it was overrun by the Germanic tribes, thus fusing the democratic principles of the tribes with the bureaucratic norms of Rome. (Tangential: I learned

      26/ but back to the analogy: I think that the crash of the Cathedral is going to fuse into existence crazy new elements. Exciting times. If I'm right (and I make no claims) then the steady acceleration of the rhetorical fuel depletion means we'll all see this in our lifetimes

      27/ http://www.astronomy.ohio-state.edu/~ryden/ast162_4/notes15.html … For instance, consider the stages in the life of a 25 Msun star: Hydrogen fusion lasts 7 million years Helium fusion lasts 500,000 years Carbon fusion lasts 600 years Neon fusion lasts 1 year Oxygen fusion lasts 6 months Silicon fusion lasts 1 day
