Cultural constraints.

A few will learn from this disaster....most will just die out.... its
mother natures way, and it works perfectly.

Idiocy is self eliminating.


This is the unchanged
pattern of national (and state) decay and collapse.... after a
natural life cycle of 5 generations (it used to be 7 generations when
life spans were shorter)....

voters in this case get fat, and lazy then
stupid and elect idiots and special interests to screw the entire
mess, including govt. and itself into the ground...


Total collapse ensues, not a 10 year depression, but 50 to 100 years
of
near or total starvation ensue. T


hen the nation reboots, not deliberately, but because life goes on,
the near starved are now mean and lean... and progress becomes
possible once again.


The nation reboots...but often not recognisable from its
previous form.

The china of today for example does not resemble the dynasty and war
lord
configurations of 300 years ago. etc.

Is it all hopeless? No. Far from it. You personally can do
well. But it IS tricky. Here are my observations and life
experience on that issue.



How not to be hopeless.....1. see the larger scene, arrange to
structure your activity and life style so it dodges the bullets.
In my case its a low overhead, low tax life style, but operating in
high end lucrative fields so that it does not take much work for me to
do well as an organism you might say.

If you try to 'do well' in context with an insane culture, that is own
2 SUV's and a big high tax house.. then of course you get to stress
and work yourself to death.


We get brainwashed by the culture into cloning whats common in the
culture, including all of its fatal errors.



A person can step out of that sand box if he is able to see its
boundary... if not.. if he does not see the sand box clearly enough,
or its boundary he is condemned to play his life out within those
constraints... those are viable constraiints at the beginning and mid
range of a national life cycle.


the contraints are both insane, and fatal at the end of a national
life cycle.

The church did a great job with the Roman Empire.
But they loved the Dark Age.

 

China has pretty much had the same one-nation borders for
over 2,000 years. And their records go back about 5,000 years.

 

You NEED misc.survivalism & gummer !!!

 

the rise and fall issues may or may not involve borders...for some
reason despite
various conquerings, persia and greece for example.. the borders hung
in there..

the primary event seems to be total financial collapse, loss of
empire..and little where with all
to fund a fast reboot.... the people at these end phases must starve
for a generation or two it seems to get
hungry and hard again.
