No... it definitely didn't have to be this way... This was just suicidal.
And now that Russia had to establish strong links with Iran in order to prevail while the West emptied needlessly its already shallow ammunition stocks, Israel might well end up being the first collateral victim of this madness, bringing even more chaos in the whole Middle East and Europe...
I would love it if you could add some back story here. I think this piece assumes I already know a lot of things which I don't so I'm having a hard time understanding it.
I don't think you overestimate the resource constraints of the West, but I do think you underestimate the resource and climate (and population) constraints in the East. Most of the Middle East, including Iran, will be uninhabitable in 20 years due to wet-bulb temps, not taking over the world. China has a birthrate of 1.28 births per woman, plus floods, droughts, and massive economic overreach. Russia is an unstable empire about to come apart. Our planetary reckoning will not differentiate between East and West.
Keep in mind the nervous system of the social super organism is government, while money and banking function as blood and the circulation system. With public government and private banking, the banks set the rules. So everything melts down into this social and economic puddle, where everything is monetized and nothing else matters.
Great piece as always B. I don't know if you've ever watched The Great Simplification podcast, but in the episode with Thomas Murphy both him and Nate suggested young people to choose a degree and career that do not require the modern industrial and digital society in order to be useful. I was thinking it would make a great future article (or articles even) in which you point the best degrees that fit this metric and the worst ones. It would be pretty helpful for anyone that's in the process of choosing a degree or deciding to get a second more useful one. What do you think?
Thank you B🙏

Alas,...

"Ah, love, let us be true
To one another! for the world, which seems
To lie before us like a land of dreams,
So various, so beautiful, so new,
Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,
Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain;
And we are here as on a darkling plain
Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,"
Where ignorant armies clash by night."
Matthew Arnold (1867)
