Even the most social and literate individual can only monitor a fraction of everything that is going on. Hundred or two hundred friends, some language communities, a couple of technological areas. And the "West" has expanded so massively, that it is probably resistant to total decline. China, for example, is already part of the "West". Same for Japan, Thailand and all other Buddhist or Confucian nations. ... Yes, maybe some groups in Euro-America will be destroyed by ... political ideologies, but someone will pick up the flame. Maybe in Singapore or Rio or Manila. Bruce Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09615189090601688535noreply@blogger.com
