'No one can be the slave of two masters: he will either hate the first and love the second, or be attached to the first and despise the second. You cannot be the slave both of God and of money.
I can believe that decadence is the final phase before the end. From Amazon: "In Sex and Culture (1934), Oxford scholar J. D. Unwin studied 80 primitive tribes and 6 civilizations through 5,000 years of history and found a positive correlation between the cultural achievement of a people and the sexual restraint they observe." I gather Unwin noted that acceptability of lack of sexual restraint before marriage (perhaps 1990s in UK) invariably signalled a civilization had only three more generations left before collapse.
Interesting. I guess you're implicitly trying to point out to the circumstance that the same trends can be observed in the West today. At least I believe this to be the case. Then, do you think it is feasible for the modern western states to collapse, in the sense of a state vanishing, given that unlike in the past there are clearly-defined borders, defense institutions, technology (incl. the most advanced weapons), etc.? Or also the so-called "deep state" for that matter. Seems unlikely to me. Perhaps, a large number of immigrants from completely different civilizations that have grown to account for some considerable share of total population or particularly ideologized (left-leaning) individuals at the top public offices could cause substantial damage to the state. But even that would probably be far from enough to bring it down entirely.
Very interesting indeed, thanks. Whilst you're here Will, I cannot find an option to upgrade my subscription to a paid one, and I don't understand why. Is it because I'm on an android so can't use the substack app?
Thanks Will, fantastic read.

Matthew - Chapter 6 : 24
Money is the true god of this world. What they serve/worship every day is their true master. All the rest is hedging their bet.

Of course it's being intentionally collapsed.
