    I was born in 1955. I live with a different curse: to have seen it dismantled.

    Unlikely. Feudalism is based on the threat that freedom is dangerous, not affordable, or both.

    Interesting times, in the sense of the old curse. I'd have much rather been born in 1950, and lived thru the golden age of liberalism.

    So to me the big question is, if the world can't go forward, can the transition back to feudalism at least happen peacefully?

    Maybe the truth is humans can't handle freedom. Feudalism is the best we can hope for. I don't know, but that's where we're heading.

    Which lead me at least to the conclusion that the world is in for an epically bad decade or two. Happy Saturday 👍😎😰

    But the truth is its not just the U.S. that's declining, the global liberal order is. Who's gonna put it back together? My bet is no one.

    Maybe that's why we bury ourselves in superhero movies and Internet rage and reality TV. Decline is perma trauma.

    Yeah. I mean we've got the decline checklist down. Demagogues, imploding middle, Caligulan elites. Not a drill.

    Yup, this is very much a structural decline caused by broken institutions and failed leaders. And idiocracy.

    Keep hearing from Boomers how things are "cyclical" and "change for the better". No. Whole millennium downhill.

    The left turning on gawker, the right declaring there's a level of bullying that's OTT. Interesting times

    Yup. The left globally is failing at this main messaging challenge. Hence, the rise of extremist right everywhere.

    that's completely the crux of the problem: how do you turn good economics into a narrative that beats the "debt = bad" nonsense.
