Once a civilization starts endlessly analyzing its own foundations, it has already lost some of the creative force that originally generated them.

The shift from living the symbol to analyzing the symbol is itself evidence of civilizational aging.

People don't grasp the sheer speed and scale of Europe's decline.

This 👇 is an extraordinary number shared by Luis Vassy, director of Sciences Po (one of France's most famous schools) in this article: https://t.co/BQbkXb2kPl

He calculated that the EU is declining 3 times faster than the Qing dynasty at the height of China's century of humiliation.

Back then, it took China 50 years to drop from 30% of world GDP to 17%, whereas it took the EU just 17 years (from 2008 to 2025).

Insane 😢 And, sadly, given the current direction and the EU's systematically suicidal policy choices (latest example: https://t.co/6EYJgdXVVo), it's just the beginning...

as authenticity becomes more and more valuable,
the incentives to perform it become higher and higher
and real authenticity becomes both harder to identify
and more scarce
