“Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.”

I believe this is true.

And I believe we are well into this last phase.

I’ve heard that along with historical examples and I buy it. I agree with your assessment as well. But.. are the current hard times once again going to create strong men? Will the cycle continue or has the loop ended?

Can’t tell the future but it doesn’t look like the past. Those self correcting dynamics may be lost for a long time.

There is likely 50-100 years before this phase is over. Just a little news to cheer you up.
