who posited that civilizations are like superorganisms that go through certain phases of life just as organisms do

I've seen many such ideas before and had similar myself without prior prompting

They don't have much in the way of predictive power though

i dunno

spengler seemed to think that the west would enter into a phase of pre-death emergency in the 21st century

based off of his theories

Society and Civilisation isn't something that can be modelled easily, especially since it isn't a tangible thing in itself - it is the sum totality of all the other actors that are part of it

Everyone predicts catastrophe, it's what sells copies

the timing seems quite prescient, at least, and was rooted in patterns observed in historical civilizations

The only thing that could have been predicted with would make any sense is the set of issues were's now having as a result of global capitalism - the end game of capitalism and it's inevitable collapse

that is part of his model, in the sense that the 19th-21st centuries represented the ascendance of money politics, plutocracy, mirroring for example the two centuries preceding caesar in rome

So all we need now is someone to conquer Mars and his protege to become the emperor of mankind <:thinkgon:560211224923734026>
