Date: October 20th, 2025 6:04 PM Author: scooby jew good review. i read about this time period earlier this year and came to the same conclusions as charles did. the same pattern(s) of degeneration and decline play out at the end of every great civilization and subsequent empire
america, and europe in its own, separate way, will be replaced by something else, something new. they can't be "reformed" or restored. just like the rest of these past civilizations and empires |

Date: October 21st, 2025 2:23 PM Author: Rim Tiggins (🧐) the good news is this time the entire world is going to get replaced with an unrecognizable crispr chad von neumann cyborg race in < 100 years so nothing really matters anyway (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5788104&forum_id=2],#49364256) |

Date: October 21st, 2025 2:30 PM Author: Rim Tiggins (🧐) CR our grandkids will see what unfolds. I unironically think wall-E style world is one of the most likely outcomes (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5788104&forum_id=2],#49364289) |

Date: October 21st, 2025 7:02 PM Author: SneakersSO What about China, it just subsumes all conquerors. Billions of azns doing everything the Same Way over and over again (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5788104&forum_id=2],#49364872) |

Date: October 21st, 2025 7:08 PM Author: scooby jew "China" today isn't at all the same as "China" 2500 years ago, genetically or culturally or otherwise
the chinese ruling class has always forcememed civilizational continuity even when it doesn't exist, because it's to their benefit and legitimizes them. also imho it's an objectively good and healthy thing for a society to think of itself as a continuous organ, even if it's artificially forcememed to some extent
every chinese dynasty (for the most part) should be thought of as a separate civilization that rose and fell in cycles |

Date: October 21st, 2025 2:13 PM Author: cock of michael obama to each their own, i found his article flat and boring but if you liked it good for you. i shared it here both to put xo eyeballs on it for charles fans and to criticize it (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5788104&forum_id=2],#49364207) |

Date: October 21st, 2025 2:22 PM Author: Paralegal Jahangir why did you find it boring? surely the subject matter isn't. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5788104&forum_id=2],#49364252) |

Date: October 21st, 2025 2:31 PM Author: cock of michael obama stylistically it doesn't grab me, and i feel it very quickly. a gripping writer is someone who has wrestled with pain, crucified between the opposites, dealing with deep and thorny issues, and this comes across in their writing -- the symbols underlying the writing become "charged". charles bukowski is a good example of a great writer, because of the extreme pain of existence he lived through in the decades before writing. each word carries *weight*. i'm past the point of where writing in an empirical register grips or entertains me, i need symoblic charge underlying writing to feel engaged these days |

Date: October 21st, 2025 7:03 PM Author: SneakersSO You should be taking notes lmao (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5788104&forum_id=2],#49364875) |

Date: October 21st, 2025 2:26 PM Author: Rim Tiggins (🧐) its good writing because its an in depth review that any reasonably smart high schooler could understand, not mountains of "philosophical" babble. he goes a bit into the weeds towards the end writing more generally about the hellenistic age, but by that point he's given a great window into what to expect from the author
I think I will read it, seems like a fun book even if I will barely remember any of it |
