I don’t know man you could just as easily argue the reason Spanish colonies failed was because the Spanish did not wipe out the natives like the English did in the Americas, and Canada. So some would argue that the natives were of “lesser stock” than Europeans. I don’t think it’s likely but it’s...

So what if they aren't legitimate. Just legitimize the bastard. If there are no legitimate male heirs the succession should not be THAT much of an issue. It's happened elsewhere.

I’m no fan of the Catholics and it is true that the Protestants did have legitimate grievances against the Catholic Church even if the Protestants did go too far and into heresy. But the claim that when they looted the churches and monasteries it went to the people is laughable it went to the...

Again the US being the most powerful nation, and others being allies sure that's possible. Hell that was the post ww2 world already. But those allies aren't going to accept their strongest "ally" dictating their internal religious policy. Making Catholics become Protestant, or making the Eastern...

Dude Skallgrims predictions are brain dead. America is highly unlikely to become a universal empire in the manner he imagined. Sure there might be similarities but it won’t repeat the exact same way. The circumstances are different. Some things like the fall of the republic and rise of a...

I'm not a JW and was not raised by them or have met any so I just know what I see online. But sure they have their own Bible translation, but well there are many Bible translations, some are good, some are bad, some are ok. It's possible that the translation is so bad that it should not be...

Yes which is kinda ironic when the Protestants who actually are Christian(aka they hold the the first two councils at least even if they don't officially support Church authority they still repudiate Arianism) claim they can define who is a Christian and who is not. I mean if you hold to sola...

That already happened it’s the ecumenical councils. They defined what Christianity is.

Alexander the Great is the first example that comes to mind. But those lost the war he was asking for who won but still collapsed.

Isn’t Chinese civilization dharmic though? Like the great religions are split into Abrahamic with Jews Christians and Muslims who believe in one god and eternal heaven and hell after death and a final judgment. And dharmic ones like Hinduism and Buddhism which believe in reincarnation.

Thats not low tech 1980 is post industrial. If a society collapses and goes back to Stone Age the. Rises to medieval then renaissance then industrial. If we can get cracking with 1800s tech then you are right.

Thats why I said potentially very bad. But it also has the option of being good if the AI shares your values. I mean think of your civilization when was it at its peak the best time where America was the greatest. A super smart AI could make that happen and would be able to prevent any decay...

If it is a super powerful “god AI” that is smarter than humans and predict our actions and it decides to take over a nation. Then that nation will become the universal empire and it has a good chance of becoming the first true eternal empire a nation with an immortal ruler who will rule for all...

I think it would depend on the capabilities of the AI.

But that is a collapse kinda. I mean the Roman Republic fell/collapsed and in it's place came the Empire.

Bacle please answer this are you claiming that America is eternal? It will never end until the heat death of the universe? Because thats what it sounds like you are saying. The Soviets collapsed and they were a nuclear power. ALL nations eventually collapse. The good ones just take a long time.

Bacle in this thread you are 90 percent correct and Skallgrim is huffing his own farts. But some of your sources are off. The first one I can’t read all of it. I think you have to pay, second it said something about not all nations are doomed to decay and fall? That is false everything in the...

I called it nonsense because it sounds like chauvanistic nonsense that claims Christendom is a "white mans"/Western European religion/culture. And anything to the east of Poland or Germany is not part of Christendom Because again it's not Russia is part of Christendom, Anatolia until 1400's was...

Thank you it started with Skall getting angry and just telling me to read it myself. But can you explain what you mean by "Christendom as we know it" Again I would count the Roman Empire post Constantine, hell even pre Constantine I'd say Armenia started Christendom and as I know it it would be...

I'm not rereading 43 pages. Second I can enter this thread if I want to. Feel free to not respond if you get embarrassed because I corrected the idiocy you were spouting.
