Interesting article, though a bit doomer. I think America/western civ's trajectory is very bad right now, but I do think we will win in the end and America will still be an amazing place to live and thrive.

Great point about the Greeks, they basically were savages in a power-comparison with the Persians. It shocked me a bit when my ancient history prof told us Athenian women basically had to be all burqua'd up. But hey Greece's victory over Persia just goes to show you, it doesn't matter how great you are if you irrecoverably LOSE in a war.

I look at the popularity in home steaders and perma culture farming and small communities built around farmers markets. Also the small groups of private doctors setting up home health networks for people who want to pay privately. YouTube has shown people their is another way.

With all that said, great article and I do agree we seem to be at a point of no return.
