Four Horsemen Page #2

the people of rome are constantly

being distracted by gladiatorial events,

and the politicians knew that they did this.

The politicians created new events,

with lots and lots of gladiators

and everyday we are doing

that very same thing.

That is a common trait of the colonial empire.

So today in the US for example

you'll find a tremendous emphasis on all kinds

of TV-programmes that distract

people from what's really going on.

Sports is a big part of that,

as it was in gladiator times.

In essence we've been

lowed into a lethargy

and we've accepted that

Just as our sport stars today envy our sons,

so did roman charioteers

in the second century one by the name of

Gaius Appoleius Diocles amassed a fortune of

35 Mln sesterces in price money

equivalent to several billion dollars today

Strangely perhaps,

there's another profession that is

disproportionally hallowed as an empire declines

The romans, ottomans and the spanish

all made celebrities of their chefs

This again is typifying the end of an empire

where things we're so great we

have this last oomph of momentum

that we used to be great,

we felt great, we dont feel that anymore

so everyone is out searching for it.

Maybe it's in the best food or the best clothes

or music or movies or reality TV-show

or another magazine

but you can never get enough

of what you don't need

what you need is a strong moral

conviction that is

pervasive throughout the society

and integrity reigns.

there's a vast apathy, there's a vast

amoralism, even a political nature to it

that is to say there are vast numbers of people

who don't give a damn

So, there's this natural entropy,

in a living organism,

which an empire is of course,

over time dies.

The question is how does it die?

Does it die devoured in a

cascade of events or,

does it die over a long period of time

The babyboomer generation we're

born into this age of decadence,

perhaps unwittingly they've broken

the unspoken intergenerational contract

through unfretted consumerism,

spiraling houseprices,

and the desire for eternal youth

the babyboomers have squandered

future generations inheritance

My generation and the generation

right after my generation

I think we've forgot that little phrase

in the preamble in our constitution

which says, "and our posterity"

All of a sudden it became "us", period.

The babyboom generation

which i'm part of is gone

and the biggest missalocation of

capital in the history of mankind.

We've had cheap oil or cheap energy

is a better way to rephrase it

we've had an abundance of ideas,

and we've chosen a system and perpetuated it

That is probably one of the worst ways
