Folks,
I am for some while now obsessed, fascinated by and intregued buy the idea of the decline of the West. My father said all of my life that the Americans were the Romans of our modern age and that Europe was Old Greece in that perspective, followed up and set asside by the power of Rome. Rome desintegrated and was split due to discord, decadence and hedonism. I see the same phenomena in the West. The Mee too scandals in the USA, the mass shooting, domestic self destructive terrorism, a heavily polarized and weakened democratic system, pornography, people who are reduced to addictive consumers plagued by Obesity, heart and kindney failure, cancer, mental health issues and anxiety problems.
I wonder if our Western civilization is nearing it's end, are we living in the time of the decline of the West, in the time of Oswald Spenglers The Decline of the West (Der Untergang des Abendlandes) of 1918 and 1922? All phenomena point at the decline of the West. Growing Financial, Economical, Social-cultural, Monetary, State depth, Health, Ecological, Global, security/safety and in general human challanges and problems. We are heading towards a great Global conflict, Russia vs NATO, China vs USA-Japan-South Korea in the South China Sea, the East China Sea, the Yellow Sea, the Philippine and the Sea Sea of Japan.
