Or you can just read my freeper page in the link in my handle.
More evolutionism. Ping for your interest, ZC.

Hey Civ, Not sure if you’d be interested, but it is free stuff for your list.
You already posted your advertisement once:

I must say, you aren’t very subtle at pimping.
We have a rabbit. I’m going to ponder this further. It doesn’t seem like completely new news, though, as people have already said that the Roman empire at its height became decadent and then declined.
I’m trying to think of “wolf” type cultures in human history— the Spartans or the Vikings, perhaps?
Idleness engenders ruin.
Night follows day.
As a barely literate geezer I do remember when nevertheless.. and I suggest that it's just plain old-fashion bratiness.
The 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radical, psycho spoiled brats were celebrated in the establishment MSM as the most intelligent generation ever! They are now arguably that very establishment that praised them and they hold themselves and their ideological issue in even higher regard.
They hijacked the now defunct Democratic Party in the 1970s. The fault is ours. Abe will explain from "the other side."
You initiated a policy to tolerate the Marxist-Alinsky radicals and let them rant; not only has it not ceased but was constantly augmented by decades of infiltration and indoctrination. You now have two Americas. In my opinion, it will not cease until a crisis shall have been reached and passed. A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure, permanently, half statist and half free; I do not expect the house to fall; but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing, or all the other.
Obama, et al are ideological issue of the 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radical, psycho spoiled brats. It's just simple, plain old-fashion bratiness. Dangerous as hell but still only spoiled brats.
Bookmark for myself. If you have a ping list for Wednesday’s reminder, please add me to it.
Your work always makes sense at a gut level which is why I always look forward to it.
It doesn’t try to confuse you with information overload with made up words and obfuscating words in an attempt to compensate for flawed theory.
Too many of the people I sadly know who consider themselves smarter than the rest of the population because they have masters degrees in useless life skills would have to read a 900 page instruction manual on water dynamic before they attempted to pour piss out of a boot, and even then some can;t figure out that inverting the boot drains the urine out of it.
With the continued move toward cities, I question your idea that liberalism will decline. It probably will increase. But, looks like an interesting book.
Read de Toqueville and understand how people viewed early America.

Bookmarked for later.
Just call them what they are, grifters.
No thanks.
When I posted this, it posted twice, and then bumped me to the other page, so I only saw the other post’s comments, and discussd it live there.
Thanks for the kind words. I hope if you pull the book you enjoy it.
FR posted this twice, and then bumped me to the other page, which I thought was the only copy, so I missed the discussion here. Sorry about that.
You said, “With the continued move toward cities, I question your idea that liberalism will decline. It probably will increase. But, looks like an interesting book.”
That part kind of scares me, because it does shift back, and harshly. Rome saw the farmers abandon their farms and head for the city. Yesinia pestis turned back the Dark Ages by cleaning out high population densities. History would indicate it will shift back by some means.
