Titanic forces are at play. Empires have fallen during such times in history (the Jesus narrative overthrows the Caesar narrative, the colonial independence narrative collapses the old immutable empire narrative, etc). Thank you for another intellectual joyride.

The “everything” industrial complex Eisenhower warned about reached its apogee around 2016, with the seemingly permanent triumph of big tech, big pharma, big finance, big government, big media, big entertainment etc.

The cracks in that illusory regime began to be exploited by the Trump phenomenon. The “big” collective attempted to unite and destroy its “enemies”.

They overshot the mark and ended up destroying themselves. I believe we are now just seeing the image of the implosion, like watching a galaxy collapse 50 million light years away.

I think Italy last month and Brazil today shows us our future.
