    Looked at this in order to make snide remarks about it, but instead was broadly persuaded. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2019/10/in-the-fall-of-rome-good-news-for-america/596638/ … ...

        ... The sarcastic "Collapsing into barbarism is cool now" tweet is running in an alternative universe.

        Moldbug makes comparison of contemporary geopolitics to late Roman empire in Patchwork series, interestingly. & "the removal of centralized control opened the way to a sustained era of creativity at the duchy-by-duchy and monastery-by-monastery level" does sound rather patchy...

        Easy to see from the perspective of the 21st century, in 1000 AD things were not so good, per Umberto Eco. https://www.nytimes.com/1999/04/18/magazine/best-invention-how-the-bean-saved-civilization.html …pic.twitter.com/2ZTOSmU7Zc

        Just like the French Republic was not a denial but affirmation of the Ancien Regime, the Roman Empire was not a denial but an affirmation of the Roman Republic. God bless the Franks.

        Yeah i was gonna say, i assume that reviews Escape from Rome, which is square in your wheelhouse. The material consequences of the fall were indeed dire tho - a good reminder to think about durability of political economic arrangements.

        Population drop by 1/2, no trade or oils or good cloth, no literacy outside monasteries, violent deaths * 4, no bricklaying or solid construction, no clean water or hot baths, wolves+bandits everywhere, but hard in the last analysis to say whether these things are “good” or “bad”
