Explaining Steppe Anti-Civilization

Reality is a cone—different civilizations grasp different sections and heights. Indian philosophy sees reality as divine illusion, Africans lack our concept of time, and medieval Europe had three incompatible time systems. The most shocking revelation? Historians have IRREFUTABLE evidence that premodern elite priest classes shared a secret worldview completely alien to ours—knowledge that profoundly shaped history while remaining hidden from ordinary people. This rabbit hole changed my entire perception of reality. -- SPONSORS: NetSuite:  More than 41,000 businesses have already upgraded to NetSuite by Oracle, the #1 cloud financial system bringing accounting, financial management, inventory, HR, into ONE proven platform.

The post-WWII peace is an ILLUSION—just like every other "permanent peace" throughout history. All great peaceful periods (Pax Romana, 19th century) were maintained by empires with overwhelming violence capability. As America weakens, wars are already erupting globally. Today's institutions are crumbling dams about to break. This episode examines 10 potential conflict scenarios likely to emerge in the next 25 years as our temporary peace inevitably reverts to history's violent norm. 🔥 Apply to join over 400 founders and Execs in the Turpentine Network: https://hmplogxqz0y.typeform.com/to/JCkphVqj -- SPONSORS: NetSuite:  More than 41,000 businesses have already upgraded to NetSuite by Oracle, the #1 cloud financial system bringing accounting, financial management, inventory, HR, into ONE proven platform.

These civilization videos require INTENSE research—I've read six books just for this one! Unlike geopolitics videos where I can fit new info into existing frameworks, each civilization demands I reach a threshold of intuitive understanding. I know these aren't my most popular uploads, but they're my passion projects. My standard: I must be able to explain a civilization's essence in one sentence or after six drinks.

We study foreign cultures anthropologically but examine our own only through sociology—which has become 99% leftist propaganda. This means we're experiencing history's most rapid social changes with almost no honest intellectual analysis! This episode examines "Karens"—those entitled middle-aged women demanding managers—as symbols of a much larger, civilization-destroying trend. Like my previous deep-dives into "NPCs" and "incels," this seemingly silly internet meme actually reveals profound truths about Western society's decay. 🔥 Apply to join over 400 founders and Execs in the Turpentine Network: https://hmplogxqz0y.typeform.com/to/JCkphVqj -- SPONSORS: NetSuite:  More than 41,000 businesses have already upgraded to NetSuite by Oracle, the #1 cloud financial system bringing accounting, financial management, inventory, HR, into ONE proven platform.

We've isolated ourselves from history, limiting our vocabulary to understand coming catastrophes. While we worship "progress," Earth has always been a blood-soaked video game map—with tribal warfare regularly killing 40% of males per generation. Population collapses occur roughly every 300 years, but the impending 21st century demographic crash will dwarf all previous ones. It's PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE to avoid a world population at least 50% smaller by 2100. 🔥 Apply to join over 400 founders and Execs in the Turpentine Network: https://hmplogxqz0y.typeform.com/to/JCkphVqj -- SPONSORS: NetSuite:  More than 41,000 businesses have already upgraded to NetSuite by Oracle, the #1 cloud financial system bringing accounting, financial management, inventory, HR, into ONE proven platform.

Our society believes in NOTHING—it's a soggy cardboard box that most prefer hiding inside rather than facing reality. As one of the few influencers shaping the emerging digital right's ideology, I'm offering principles for what I call the "not left" coalition.
