Such is the cycle of every civilisation

2019-09-16 12:54:02 UTC  

All have gone through it all go through it

2019-09-16 12:54:02 UTC  

GG @Mairon, you just advanced to level 3!

2019-09-16 12:54:12 UTC  

Well except those that get crushed beneath another

2019-09-16 12:54:53 UTC  

This cycle of decay limits greater progress and creates conflict

2019-09-16 12:55:19 UTC  

Out of the ashes of a collapsing civilisation, new ones form, and it puts back development

2019-09-16 12:56:05 UTC  

In ancient Egypt there was a concept called Ma'at it had no real translation, but it's sorta a mix between, divine order, and tranquility, Egypt lasted thousands of years

2019-09-16 12:56:45 UTC  

I want Ma'at for all of humanity, for all time, so that no child ever be plagued by the unjust loss of parents, so that none starve, or needlessly suffer

Tfw i just ranted the fuck out of this channel

Rip LCU

2019-09-16 12:59:05 UTC  

maybe no one starved but people didn't really have that great of lives, slavory was rampant in Egypt

2019-09-16 12:59:53 UTC  

Ma'at was only conceptual in Egypt, and for the ancient Mediterranean they had quite fair lives

2019-09-16 12:59:59 UTC  

Egypt to me was a starting point

2019-09-16 13:00:03 UTC  

Not the destination

also if you think we're in a decay period right now how do you explain technology constantly improving with ever more inovation?

Because we haven't reached collapse yet, we are still in what could be considered the golden era of our civilisations

2019-09-16 13:01:38 UTC  

On the start to decline

2019-09-16 13:01:52 UTC  

There will be more conflict to come, more innovation

2019-09-16 13:02:15 UTC  

What we know will come to fall, but I won't even pretend to have any clue when

2019-09-16 13:02:44 UTC  

very intersting you see it that way, other political ideologies such as neo reactionaries and the alt right would say we're very near collaspse right now, basicaly teatering on the edge

2019-09-16 13:03:02 UTC  

Not really

2019-09-16 13:03:12 UTC  

They see incoming struggle, which to me is progress

2019-09-16 13:03:32 UTC  

When cultures clash their fighting only creates technological innovation, despite the loss of life

2019-09-16 13:03:54 UTC  

We near collapse when one civilisation stands on the corpses of the rest proclaiming victory unchallenged

2019-09-16 13:06:01 UTC  

Infact these reactionaries to me are progress

2019-09-16 13:06:09 UTC  

They are innovation

2019-09-16 13:06:21 UTC  

Wanting to uproot the social order is not stagnation

2019-09-16 13:06:26 UTC  

Complacency with it is

2019-09-16 13:06:48 UTC  

I apreaciate your perspective because even as a libertarian we have our own views which mirror thos of the altright specificaly on economics, that the economy can't sustaine it self at this current level do to banking manipulation and while this is not the same as societal decay it leads to basicaly the same disaserous outcomes more less, it's nice to know there are other well read people out there that think maybe we have several more decades to go before things get really bad

2019-09-16 13:07:25 UTC  

I'd give us centuries still
