2020 was definitely a step backwards. If you're wondering how great civilizations can end up collapsing: they just have many 2020s in a row over several decades, with exponentially compounding cascade effects at each new development.
Factors of decline are multiplicative. E.g. cultural & educational deterioration leads to an incompetent government. An incompetent government makes a pandemic much worse. A bad pandemic accelerates institutional decline
For the record, I don't think civilization will collapse in the near future (within the next 400 years). Not even as a consequence of catastrophic climate change over the next two centuries. But we will go through some pretty rough patches
Our particular civilization, as a system, features significant structural risk factors that could enable collapse, but it also has important collapse-preventing characteristics. I think the latter factors will win out
Hardships and setbacks can be catalysts of progress -- progress doesn't happen without challenges. Decline happens when we lose the ability to respond to challenges. Collapse happens when decline accelerates past a point of no return
I think the coming hardships are more likely to become catalysts of progress than triggers of collapse
It was 1994 when after one year in the USA I concluded the USA were on a declining path, because of the unethical culture that was winning favors among GOP leaders. 2020 the GOP lead the executive branch to attack the legislative branch of just because it lost the elections.
what decline? no. we are as always badly prepared and the government was incompetent before the pandemic. what constitutes competency? all bias. hence the insufficient actions taken. actually 2020 was a flashlight that illuminated all that. its all words. but i get your point.
Two key factors are in category of moral failure. Prices are not honest in their representation of costs. This means that harmful business practices are profitable to industry. (No bright future.) We fail to share natural wealth (or a monetary representation of that wealth).pic.twitter.com/usAsdNTIce
I wake to a radio alarm and I hear NPR and BBC. Why I chose these is so to know what the propaganda du jour is. And it is getting worse, I rate 90% BS, Propaganda & biased distortion where the remaining ~10% is only significant in efforts to try & give some foundation to the rest
So why is this crap happening? The answer is in the big picture of the jigsaw puzzle of many many parts. And that picture is the implementation of the Great Reset, AKA NWO Technocracy Oligrachy, which has been in the works for many decades but now technologically possible.
Indian (ancient and medieval) history is replete with examples of rising and falling institutions, cultures and entire kingdoms as a consequence. There is certainly a lot to learn for us from this and the fall of other societies in the past.
