| Slimebeast said: America is simply too strong to fall. The most powerful civilization in history after Rome. This may sound slightly ironic since we all know Rome fell, but I truly believe history won't repeat itself in America's case. |
All it takes is one very major disaster, that would hit all over the place, and America would end up being done. Talking beyond even losing a city. Rome fell after the barbarians sacked it. But say the power grid permanently goes down, there will be huge problems. America is vulnerable to such now. There is no such thing as "too strong to fail".
The video, linked to the article, which is a sales piece to subscribe to a investor's research newsletter, does go into the big global problem of the exponential curve pattern of development, which is unsustainable, like a Ponzi scheme. There is going to be a need to rethink everything, and come up with new ways for society to reorder itself, to survive.
