Wow, so you think wars and mayhem are exciting? Something must be wrong with you For me, the sooner the 1T starts the better.

Except for the last sentence, I agree.

But, a revolution or a civil war could end up being "exciting" if it's the only way to bring about a newer world.

It's certainly a risky proposition though, with much boring mayhem involved. And we would probably be "fooled again"

The longer the 4T lasts and the more mayhem it involves, the more collectivistic the 1T consensus becomes. The only exception I can think of is the American Revolution, though after reading how S&H described the "rational masonic brotherhood", I doubt if it was individualistic. Was it collectivistic, or merely communitarian?

All the chat apps are just a faster form of email, not fundamentally different from what my dad was doing on his computer in 1994. Social media can be browsed from a computer as well, so when a smartphone displays Instagram, it does a computer's job.
