What the Time Cube is this nonsense?

I derive this conclusion from planetary phase shift theory, my systems framework for understanding the life-cycle of human civilisation in terms of energy, information, and organisation.

Planetary phase shift theory draws on C.S. Holling’s adaptive cycle model, which describes four phases to the life-cycle of any living system: a growth and accumulation phase, a conservation/stability phase, a release (collapse) phase, and a reorganisation (renewal) phase which is the creative incubator for a new life-cycle.

It went from interesting analysis to supermarket tabloid astrology really quickly.

Lol the USSR collapsed because it was driven into the ground for decades by an authoritarian regime and relied extremely much on oil sales, who tanked (the oil price tanked) and took the whole fucking soviet union down.

Edit: edited for clarity

Hunh.

  • decades of authoritarian regime? ✅
  • irrational dependence on fossil fuels ✅
  • propaganda indiscernible from journalism ✅
  • internal politics fueled by corruption, greed, hate ✅
  • gen pop pitted against each other to boiling point ✅
  • secret "police", silencing political rivals & dissenters, etc... ✅✅✅

Yep. Sounds about right. Who else could that be except the former USSR? 🤷🏼‍♂️ Good thing everyone's learned that lesson and we can move forward as a fucking species, eh?

Who else can it be today, russia (or any of the dictatorships in CRINK)? But they put other countries populations against each others, not their own population which is silenced.

Ah, so white privilege strikes again, kiddo? What copium are you peddling today? All Cops Aren't Bastards? Try again, toady.

I'm not american for starters, but I see you have to use under the belt rhetorics and agressiveness which is what losers do.

I'm not the one apologizing for my masters' systemic exploitation of the working class for, I dunno, the entirety of recorded fucking history, though. Breathe. Read a book.

We're all in this shit together, citizen.

You seems to be under some delusion,maybe that the URSS was good or something?

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

I don't know of any URSS, kiddo. You ok?

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

You'll learn about it in school.

Too hard to even do a web search, sigh. People like you are the reason why things go to shit.

Oh, yes, the Spanish spelling of it. I should've known from the context of the "conversation", with not a whiff of related topics anywhere within it, of course. How silly of me.

Jog on, troll baby. Jog on.
