Such is the cycle of every civilisation
All have gone through it all go through it
Well except those that get crushed beneath another
This cycle of decay limits greater progress and creates conflict
Out of the ashes of a collapsing civilisation, new ones form, and it puts back development
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
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
maybe no one starved but people didn't really have that great of lives, slavory was rampant in Egypt
Ma'at was only conceptual in Egypt, and for the ancient Mediterranean they had quite fair lives
Egypt to me was a starting point
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
On the start to decline

There will be more conflict to come, more innovation
What we know will come to fall, but I won't even pretend to have any clue when
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
Not really
They see incoming struggle, which to me is progress
When cultures clash their fighting only creates technological innovation, despite the loss of life
We near collapse when one civilisation stands on the corpses of the rest proclaiming victory unchallenged
Infact these reactionaries to me are progress
They are innovation
Wanting to uproot the social order is not stagnation
Complacency with it is
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
I'd give us centuries still
