“Peñico is situated close to where Caral, recognised as the oldest known civilisation in the Americas, was established 5,000 years ago at around 3,000 BC in the Supe valley of Peru.” #History #Civilization #Peru https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c07dmx38kyeo

Bearish times for #Democracy ...

And big beautiful end-times for #environment, #civilization as we've known it, #rights, #environment, #health, #science, #education, #seniors, #truth, #rights #representation #decency

We need to be bearish on #TrumpVirus #fascism #NoKings

This gas station is not a gas station. It COLLECTS then pumps electricity.

Its "gas" isnt pumped in the mid east, not shipped across wars and oceans, its collected at the station. It isn't refined at a neighbourhood destroying, cancer causing, refinery, its put in a battery. (that's it)

It collects energy, waits to be needed. Clean easy.

Millions of jobs. Trump sent them to China.

Trump has one purpose, to prevent the future, prevent civilization.

We have to end billionairism.

Billionairism is the end of capitalism, the end of democracy, the end of progress, the end of climate, the end of civilisation.

Much like atomic weapons are not appropriate for personal use, the financial aneurysm of billionaires should not, must not (now obviously), be allowed to distort and destroy the economy and democracy.

There are millions of artists taking a stand against #genocide in @palestine being muted by #MSM. But not even the #BBC could #censor all of us, successfully. Just like #BobVylan at #Glastonbury delivered the message #FREE #FreePalestine and #death #death2theIDF live on stage and telly.

It's #zioNAZI @israel against #humanity #HumanRights #civilization and in effect #WeThePeoples. So, it's natural that #FreeArtists support @bdsmovement, #FFC and @intifada not #ethniccleansing. What a surprise for #cokeheads like Starmer, Merz & Macron, isn't it?

lmaaooooo this narrative event in #civ #civ7 is insane! @rushvora got this in our MP game

A civilization is not destroyed by wicked people; it is not necessary that people be wicked but only that they be spineless.

Been having fun with naming my towns in #Civilization7.

"The 'Western world' is not the culmination of a 10,000-year-long march but an anomaly in a 300,000-year-long history of Homo sapiens’ cultural adaptability."

Yeah, we couldn't figure out how to stop, mitigate, or adapt-to climate change, but....

..."we are participating, against our will, in the slow-motion breakdown of our post-industrial #civilization in its familiar form.
...
We are living through it as a gradient, a series of mini-thresholds. I mean, there could be a sudden switchover. There could be a point where all electricity stops or we turn on the tap and brown toxic sludge pours out of the faucet instead of wate."...

Call to Power (1999) took the #Civilization formula and dared to go beyond. Underwater cities, space colonies, and futuristic warfare.
Often overlooked, but its ambitious vision of the future still stands out.

If you like alt-history and deep #strategy, it's worth rediscovering.

An explanation of this:

In the last days of all #empires the idiots take over

They mirror the collective #stupidity of a #civilization detached itself from #reality

Last days of dying empires are dominated by #idiots

The History of every major Galactic Civilization tends to pass through three distinct and recognizable phases, those of Survival, Inquiry and Sophistication... the first phase is characterized by the question "How can we eat?" the second by the question "Why do we eat?" and the third by the question "Where shall we have lunch?"
