MindMatters: Cliodynamics and the Secular Cycles of History

well. i had never heard about cliodynamics before, (had to look it up).

i do however think you are correct in assuming that it is futile to try to apply math/statistics on anything as short as a few cycles. (a few 100s or 1000s repetitions... would have been better).

nevertheless, the cycles apparently going on in history is certainly interesting. if you guys can make something scientific out of it, i will be the first to apploude

repetitions; [Link]

I think the idea that disaffected elites are necessary for revolution is key to understanding a lot. It explains why the horrific dumbing down of education, especially in high school and colleges/universities, is purposeful. Remember George Carlin saying that they don't want the kids to understand anything? He was spot on with that observation. Kids aren't taught the rudimentary thinking skills they need in high school, gate-keeper math requirements are erected to prevent most kids from ever even considering trying to qualify for a four-year degree in any remunerative skill, and if they attempt it anyway, they're rewarded for their efforts with crushing debt before they even start out in life. As a result, only a small percentage of kids graduate with a four-year degree in any major that will pay a decent wage, and the ones that do are mostly motorheads who have few to no people skills, and therefore little leadership potential.

Result: The privileges of the '1%' are preserved, as they happily proceed to gain ownership of every valuable asset on the planet.

But worry not! You will own nothing and you'll be happy!

"We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors...and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do". - Donald Rumsfeld.

Elite overproduction occurs when competent professionals are frozen out of the ruling class because they won’t commit the crimes necessary to maintain power. As the ruling class becomes more reactionary it requires greater ruthlessness from its subordinates. The ruling class “allows” overproduction of professionals to increase the pool of brutally acceptable candidates.

The overproduction of ruling class servitors is a sign of repression since the ruling class is feeling paranoid (since you never give your victim’s real empowerment) and has become brutally selective.

The only debts in America that you cannot use bankruptcy to remove is student loans. The American ruling class has made debt slaves of all the professionals who they don’t select. The American “Emperor” has foreseen this problem and has used student debt to enslave them.

The Empire controls the “stores” which sell professional certification and uses student debt as a means of controlling that entire segment of society.

The ruling class also has direct control over the boards which oversee the professional elite like lawyers, doctors, and assassin pharmacists. These boards are the hidden backbone of tyranny.

Another way to fracture the American elite is to quietly prove their most heinous (and unknown) crimes. 9-11 and the Kennedy assassinations do not even make it into the top 5.

Most of the ruling class did not sign up for the mass murders of Americans. The actual causes for Alzheimer’s and diabetes would impact the ruling class so they keep letting people die to protect their power.

Dr. Fauci is the moral norm for the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. He is just another cockroach no different from the thousands of other cockroaches in the NIH and NSF. He was caught in the middle of the kitchen floor when Covid-19 turned on the lights.

Death or joining the revolution is a simple choice that should fracture the American ruling class.

I haven't read the book. The thesis is interesting that inequality in the pursuit of quality of life predicts chaotic and revolutionary times. It connects to this time. It raises many questions over time suggesting forms of government are not the driver? It suggests that global climate would be an indirect driver?

It raises the question if what is well-being for any of us, and is it connected to physical, emotional, intellectual or spiritual well-being? Is there a higher purpose of man on earth? How does collective and individual identity play a role?

Gurdjieff's law of 3 and the law of (7) octaves is one way to analyze. The law of 3 says that it is the third force as the determiner of the outcome. The catalyst in an enzymatic reaction is an example. For the success of a store like Nordstroms, the third force is customer service. If we look at CRT and its opponents, what is the third force?

The law of octaves mirrors the musical octave. It proceeds in intervals but at 2 points it is retarded. In Gurdjieff's system, the direction of development changes at these points. For development to proceed in a chosen direction then the interval needs to be bridged.

What does this mean? It means if you or a society begins with certain ideals or values, that over time they become their opposite WHILE USING THE SAME PHRASES. In our current time freedom and democracy are phrases that have become their opposite. For democracy you must oppose election voter ID.

Inequality has existed at all times. Individually Epictetus develops as a slave. Frankl discovers meaning in a concentration camp. Kennedy and Martin Luther King inspire a nation through values of freedom and humanity.

The Aztecs - A Clash of Worlds (Part 1 of 2) Fall of Civilizations [Link]
This episode, we look back at the age of the Aztecs. Learn how this society grew from nothing to create one of the world's largest cities in the middle of a lake. Discover Aztec riddles, poetry and songs, as well as the bloody ritual of the flower wars. And hear the remarkable story of how this thriving empire collapsed all at once, in a matter of days.

from one of the comments .... The way you explain in detail all the context, including the geology/climate, the connection in time with other events around the world, the correlation with today's society..

There is another cycle that has been overlooked and is the root cause of civilization collapse.
