Was predicted that European civilisation would be destroyed during the Great War. Perhaps it started the slow decline. No doubt our way of life is under threat. What can the average man do? Very little unfortunately. Enjoy your life, drink deep from the ale filled cup; enjoy fancy viands; Walk with your wife/concubine and hold hands; make love. What more can a man do?Flaxen Saxonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03431645401478120921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745817778350624453.post-31782521013804874082022-08-17T16:58:25.535+12:002022-08-17T16:58:25.535+12:00Yes fellows, we can learn a lot from the collaps o...Yes fellows, we can learn a lot from the collaps of the roman empire - and I bet we don´t. You mention Plutarch of Chaironeia - reminds me to Plutarch of Athens, who lived something 300 years later and was witness of the fall. His attempt, to reanimate Plato´s epistemology by founding the ancient world´s last academy for fundamental occidental philosophie was right, but came much to late and therefore was doomed to fail. After Contantine declared the strange superstition named christianity state religion, logic has been finally abolished and without logic any system has to collaps. Thinking was no longer in demand - shamans claimed the monopoly. Light was switched off and it took more than 1.200 years of disturbing dark times before enlightenment returned with Descartes, Hume, Kant & co., making sciences and systematic progress possible again. Today same powers like 400 a.c. are going to turn back the wheel again. Reset the seat back, have a drink, enjoy the impact.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
