When I asked if there could be another Genghis Khan I mean there is a large territory from North America through Manchuria where there are going to be a large number of single men. These are some of the most intelligent men in the world. Could they be mobilized in some fashion by a Fuhrer? epochehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09407763731048503853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734925856292601239.post-3469352473823578162020-01-17T18:06:16.982-05:002020-01-17T18:06:16.982-05:00Hmm, not sure what you mean but I'm neither fr...Hmm, not sure what you mean but I'm neither from Hong Kong or Chinese, and this is not about the recent protests either.

Whereas a greater sense of self has helped Northwest Europeans to transcend the limitations of kinship and, thus, build larger societies, East Asians have relied on a lesser sense of self to create a web of interdependence that extends beyond close kin. (Frost 2015)<br />Northwest Europeans and East Asians are now in steep demographic decline. Inevitably, less wealth will be created. I say "inevitably" because those two groups produce most of the world’s wealth. When they go, most of the wealth will go too. This is not a problem we can resolve by passing laws or changing the school curriculum. To some extent, we could force people to adopt the behaviors of a high-trust society, but that would take time and will. And we don't have much of either.<br />----------------------------------<br />Does this lend itself to another Genghis Khan? I can't imagine all the single men in those territories would be happy about essentially being forced to subsidize other people's children. epochehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09407763731048503853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734925856292601239.post-69357618135188027342020-01-11T14:07:56.764-05:002020-01-11T14:07:56.764-05:00Perhaps it would be prudent to add an exception to...Perhaps it would be prudent to add an exception to East Asia in the form of China, given how even ethnic Chinese Hong-kongers and Singaporeans dislike Mainland Chinese.

The debt issued has to be paid by someone. When the economy is not growing debt becomes a noose. The powers that be will try to get others to pay for the debt either the state or the people, leading to increased immerisation. Also the Turchin cycle , that is the overproduction of elite aspirants will start to cause ructions with the elite.<br />Financially and demographically we have begun our descent. john Lilburnenoreply@blogger.com
