That’s interesting. It used to be ‘cool’ and “grovy” to imbibe in wide-swaths of drugs, sex, and rock and roll.
But that time has come-and-gone, somewhat. Maybe the fad comes and go, historically. Can it be a ‘fad’ for young people to marry, have children, raise them well, and enjoy family life too?
The Earth’s poor are technically richer than ever before, and the standard-of-living improves across the world.
However, what Gloom and I constantly refer to, are the world elite’s openly-stated agenda concerning the Georgia Guide Stones…
What is it… they want 800,000,000 humans on Earth?
Do you think that people will try to enforce this type of governance peacefully, or that such a transition could be peaceful? I don’t. The people who are most against depopulation, are those with lower intelligence who need higher quantities of children in order for their genes to compete. If a radical transition occurs, and it seems to be in motion, then people will react violently. People call it a “conspiracy theory”, but it’s not. It’s open, public policy.
It makes more sense to simply send billions of humans into space: win-win for all parties involved.
It’s possible, we may live to see the dawn of a space age.
Perhaps there are possibilities for exploration (and settlement?) underwater, underground and in antarctica too.
There’s a lot of energy underground, and who knows what else.
I heard scientists recently discovered a massive subterranean ocean with their sensors.

Who knows what else we’ll find down there.
But we have to be careful about science and tech.
They’re a double edged sword, even when scientists have good intentions and aren’t being manipulated by power mad corporations and governments.
See Antoine Béchamp and Weston Price, people are sicker now, in many ways.
From my experience radiation from cellphones and computers can damage us.
That’s my opinion, take it with salt.
All this 5G that’s going up all around us, who knows what it’s doing to us.
I’m not as optimistic about man and his tech.
I’m not a primitivist, but I’m not a, whatever the antonym of that is, a transhumanist either, we don’t want to lose our essence or poison our minds and bodies with tech.
I take a very cautious, conservative approach to tech, there is hope and promise in it, but also great peril, I’m far more ambivalent about it.
For me humanity’s future is a dark road, there are many possibilities ahead.
Nothing is set, progress isn’t automatic, but neither is regress.
I prefer to explore many possibilities, whereas for theists, humanists and transhumanists, or alternatively for cynics like say our buddy Joker, the future is set, man is on a fixed path, upward or down.
Most people have a scientific worldview, or one of the religious worldviews, but my worldview is exploratory, I am open to possibilities, and probabilities, no certainties.
Of course science has value (but so does unrefined thinking, intuiting and instinct, tradition, spirituality for many and philosophy, and perhaps epistemological anarchism and alternative methodologies to science), but I also believe it’s been thoroughly contaminated by special interests, and assumptions.
Science can be used to reveal, but also conceal (PSYOPs).
I often wonder about what’s being hidden from us.
I can’t remember which sources mentioned it, but it’s apparent the US Deep State is growing desperate and turned CIA psyops upon the American people, since the threat of foreign enemies has diminished. Again, Trump is only a symptom of the greater disease and rot. The US Establishment is decaying, bleeding-out. More Populists will rise-up, requiring harsher punishment from the Deep State, thus losing more freedoms and liberties. This tumult will continue unabated until States or Countries across the world become more courageous and willing to stand-up to the global hegemony. I believe this will happen. Ultimately, people will have a choice between US-led “Freedom” and human rights, and other alternatives. People will emigrate, when those opportunities occur. Probably within the century, and after a few decades, as US Economy significantly erodes and the Dollar inflates.
Concerning technology, this Graphene-Oxide and Graphene Quantum Dot technology apparently exists in conjunction with 5G frequencies which act as a type of ‘remote-control’. Depending on the frequencies, graphene inside the body can be manipulated, and its self-assembly circuitry triggered. I personally suspect some type of alien tech; it is literally out-of-this-world, but, we’ll see. They have been working on it for decades. Perhaps it was back-engineered at some point, or introduced by another means. People have no idea what the masses are now being injected with, insane.
It seems like Humanity has lost its common sense, along with its soul. But, is this really different than general human history? Humans en masses have always acted more like cattle and chattle than autonomous, individual, freely-willed personalities with distinction.
Many of Western Civilization’s underlying Narrative, Culture, and Presumptions have been proven wrong…
So the hypotheses must be thrown-out, and started over. The coming Centuries is a philosophical challenge (like my “Pure Humanity” thread), in addition to the scientific, cultural, and political threats.
I agree, western civilization (as we know it) is under threat, most of all by its elite and their army of stooges.
For me, the elite aren’t left or right, but neofeudalists.
What is western civilization?
To me, it’s democracy, not cryptocracy.
It’s the nation state, not the super state.
It’s nonintervention, not hawkishness.
It’s capitalism, not crony capitalism.
It’s liberalism/pluralism (tolerance), not crony liberalism/pluralism (reverse intolerance).
It’s Christianity, not Christianism.
It’s science, not scientism.
It’s the family, and the individual.
To me, liberalism is neither right nor left, it’s the constitution and freedom.
In addition to being a liberal I’m also a populist, I lean left fiscally and right socially.
Culturally I could see neofeudalism taking two directions in the west, one in North America, Western Europe and Australia (crony liberalism) and another in Russia, Eastern Europe and Brazil (Christianism).
Before I’m off for now…
Simply ask yourself the question: Why did Feudalism, Chivalry, and Medieval Europe follow after the fall of Rome, and the rise of Catholic Dominance??
Here’s what I mean by neofeudalism:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-feudalism
Feudalism, throne and altar conservatism gradually gave way to democracy, the nation state, capitalism, liberalism and science.
It also gave way to Burkean conservatism, populism and progressivism.
In turn, democracy, the nation state, capitalism, liberalism and science gradually gave way to cryptocracy, the super state, crony capitalism, crony liberalism (woke) and scientism.
In turn, cryptocracy, the super state, crony capitalism, crony liberalism (woke) and scientism could gradually metastasize into full blown neofeudalism, an advanced, high tech, scientific serfdom or slavery occurring in fully developed socioeconomies, where you’re literally the property (in part or in full) of a corporation and/or the state.
Culturally this neofeudalism could be woke in North America and Western Europe while Christianist, chivalrous and conservative in Russia and Eastern Europe.
Think of neofeudalism as postcapitalist feudalism as opposed to precapitalist feudalism.
Maybe the idea of human progress is necessarily temporary… and only a certain perspective, a frogs perspective, mistakenly taken to be absolute, unending.
I mean, by and large I agree with your analysis of the situation, and measured against the idea of progress, that situation would appear to evolve in the wrong direction… what I’d want to propose is that maybe there’s something wrong with the measure instead of the situation.
Science, technology, progress require specialisation. Specialisation is only possible within large complex societies and if we can free up lots of people from producing for basic needs. And that is a function of energy. If you have lots of cheap energy, you can burn that instead of human labour…
Anyway, to cut to the chase, we’ve kindof blown through a lot of that cheap energy in the last couple of centuries. Those were a one time deal, ‘fossil fuels’. We need to stop using them to keep the planet livable or we will probably sooner rather than later run out of them anyway as they are limited. Some people seem to believe that renewals can replace fossil fuels, but a) they are not really renewable and b) they are not that easy to use and cheap to produce. Either way, in practice, we definitely have a long (I’d say impossible) way to go if we’d want to replace them.
That means that, since progress is only really a feature of a world wherein you have free abundant cheap energy, it is bound to end as a species churns through it’s planetary fossil fuels.
So instead of the usual decadence of man, which I won’t deny is probably part of the story, the more important causes it would seem to me are material, the laws of physics.
Do you think that essential amenities will ever be gratis, once more… like they were, in days of yore? …remember those? lol
Low-income earners should be exempt from paying for amenities imo, so that they can buy the essentials that they need to exist… subsidised, from the profits of big Corp… The future!
Both those assertions exist in parallel to one and other, and always have… it just depends on which path your ancestors/you choose to take. My family and ancestors were the former, but that’s not to say that some didn’t dabble in the latter… and not necessarily all 3 simultaneously, but either individually or any thinkable combination of the 3.
Why is it that those who don’t partake in the sex and drugs part, are deemed/seen as, meek/square/etc.?
So you’re saying the following is not Western gay propaganda from the 70’s?

After the Roman Republic, and Roman Empire, the Roman State solidified, stagnated, and declined. Yet, power was centralized. Eventually Western, Northern, Eastern Europe were all “Christened” and Europe became fragmented into Kingdoms.
This was Christendom, the Medieval and Feudal centuries.
Because Rome could not control and oversee all lands and areas, vassels had to be formed. This was done through monarchs and Catholic representatives who spread Christendom through a series of proselytization, forced conversions, and crusades by force. If an area resisted, then crusades were launched. Chivalry and Knighthood were codes of military and social conduct. European Monarchs were literally “Ordained by God” and intended to enforce that Will of God.
Feudalism represents cultural, social, and economic stagnancy and immobility. There was no moving ‘Up’ in society, only down. Peasants were restricted from reading and writing, hence the “Dark Ages”. Ignorance was mandated and enforced by threat of punishment and torture.
This is beginning to happen again in Western Civilization. Free Speech is ending. Ignorance is mandated. Massive currency inflation threatens to destroy the world economy.
If money inflates at 150% then kiss everything you know goodbye. Imagine inflation at 200%, or 500%, or 1000%.
The peasants of the world will literally wake up one day, and overnight, everything they worked for, their children will work for, their grandchildren will work for… will disappear and evaporate before their very eyes: Neo-Feudalism.
I’m not opposed, one-way or the other, concerning the spread of abundant energies or fossil fuels. As stated in the OP, the lowest of the low, enjoy increased standard-of-living, as do the middle and upper classes. It’s a natural outcome of over-abundance.
It’s a Bourgeois trend and tendency, to exclude and shame those that to do not partake in a ‘Junker’ “junky” lifestyle…
Smears is literally the embodiment of this… how he brags constantly about his drug-abuse, food indulgency, promiscuous endeavors, etc.
If you do not participate in this lifestyle, then you are judged “less than” the cultural, social, political, and economic Elitists.
To them, “Hunter Biden” is the end goal, and he is “living the best life”. Obviously, I don’t agree with them, but it’s what they believe…
I’m saying it’s a “bad measure” (as Diekon just mentioned) as a standard of society, culture, or “progress”.
If you only want to gauge reality by homosexual degeneracy, then so be it, but that’s not what I’m talking about…
The 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s did produce some pretty good entertainment, tv shows, movies, music, video games, etc.
If you want to deny that, then be my guest…
You don’t think that Saturday Night Fever is a relatively decent depiction of the 70’s?
Here’s a bunch of masculine men from the 70’s:

This is “the glory of the last generations” I suppose.
Every age produces good stuff. There’s no doubt about that. But you can’t just focus on the positive side in order to determine the level of cultural sophistication. You have to look at the whole picture. And the big picture says that 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and so on very quite degenerate. Not as degenerate as 10’s but still pretty degenerate.
Those were the ages of modern art, postmodern philosophy, second-wave feminism, homosexuality, hedonism, etc. Assuming you’re a Westerner, it was also an age where your kind – certainly not mine – was actively attempting to spread this disease across the entire globe.
Look up the imdb top 100 movies of all time.
I don’t hear anybody complaining about spreading the “disease” of good movies across the globe.
It’s intellectually dishonest to only view the negative, and ignore the positive.
Disco’s gay, long live rock and roll.

Nothing manlier than a dude with the balls to rock out a dress.
Dictatorship, form of government in which one person or a small group possesses absolute power without effective constitutional limitations.
https://www.britannica.com/topic/dictatorship
The Roman Kingdom lead to the Roman Republic lead to the Roman Empire lead to Feudalism.
If we don’t turn things around, I’m thinking the American Republic (covert dictatorship and empire) + crony capitalism will lead to the American Empire (overt dictatorship and empire) + advanced, high tech scientific serfdom as opposed to primitive, low tech, religious and traditionalist serfdom.
If you’re a prole, you’ll be owned by a corporation and/or the state.
You’ll live in the same building you work and won’t be able to change jobs, instead you’ll be sold from corporation to corporation, from a corporation to the state or vice versa.
You’ll have few, if any rights, just privileges and it’ll be next to impossible to climb the ladder unless you’re extraordinarily gifted and lucky.
Neofeudalism could further metastasize into a new caste system, where proles are cybergenetically modified into subhumans while the Merchant Right and Brahmin Left are cybergenetically modified into superhumans.
Proles will be forbidden from breeding with the Merchant Right and Brahmin Left.
Yea the American Empire, either that or the NAU (North American Union) under the UN.
