    This video is really interesting to me and I recommend it to all of you, it really helps put our current moment in a historical perspective.

    It talks about wokeness as a religion and how we can conceptualize it the same way as the catholic church in the 1600s.

    It talks about Peter Turchin’s secular cycles and how we’re in one right now and how it perfectly describes what’s going on with the working class, the middle class, and the upper classes. This is a parallel to the 1600s and the sort of world that was developing in that era and he explains that.

    From there, he makes predictions about the future based on what happened in the 1600s with some new lessons from recent history.

    Honestly, he’s a young man but I always try to catch the latest whatifalthist video because he’s very well-read and has helped me to understand the world in a perspective that includes much more of history than the past 100 years.
