:jbhmm: Does history repeat itself? If so didn't homosexuality cause the fall of rome.

The empire got too big, and the little guys came in and raped them. No, homosexuality wasn't it, bit yes, there was a rape.

There are other reasons what happened to Rome wont happen to the USA, primarily that the powers have entertained the economies. Battles for resources are done diplomatically nowadays, you don't have to kill to steal shyt. Just tamper with a commodity and the wellbeing of the working classes, boom, economic unrest and the ability to usurp sovereignty.

Seven steps in the life cycles of great powers
Glubb Pasha learned that different empires had similar cultural changes while experiencing a life cycle in a series of stages that could overlap. He generalized about empires having seven stages of development, identifying these successive ages as follows:

1. The age of outburst (or pioneers).
2. The age of conquests.
3. The age of commerce.
4. The age of affluence.
5. The age of intellect.
6. The age of decadence. <<< where we currently are in the west
7. The age of decline and collapse.

Each stage helps progression to the next as the values of the people change over time. Military, political, economic and religious developments all influence an empire's people to act and believe differently over time.

I see us really tapping into the age of intellect at this point and time. At some point humans will be symbiotic with technology and thats when the age of decadence will start. Im thinkin wall e type shyt where we got robots carting us around. Maybe in a hundred or 150 years...
