@chaseaustiinn Your last line about stepping in the arena reminds me of a profound post i saw a while back, "Even the weakest man in the arena is worth more than the greatest critic in the world."
For ages scholars wasted their time & confused us trying to figure out why civilizations collapse. Few if any have looked at the RISE as a pure accidental event, followed by reversion to the mean as things should.

Journalism at its dumbest: Someone hacks into the guest list of a "secret exclusive right-wing Thiel-associated cabal which plots 'navigating WWIII' with 'their sex lives on the agenda.'" Turns out the meeting is not secretive, not right-wing, has nothing to do with Thiel, has had hundreds of journalists, bloggers, academics, artists, musicians politicians, scientists, etc., from all over the political spectrum, discussing thousands of topics. But no matter - someone said there was a furor, therefore there must have been a furor, therefore let's make it a furor!
