We are facing the end of 'the West'. Some of our best science shows the US empire is following the collapse-path of the USSR - but this is also the precursor to the emergence of a new life-cycle for civilisation.
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.
What the Time Cube is this nonsense?
It went from interesting analysis to supermarket tabloid astrology really quickly.
