The Scholar Who Predicted America's Breakdown Says It's Just Beginning (www.newsweek.com)

Fifteen years ago, smack in the middle of Barack Obama's first term, amid the rapid rise of social media and a slow recovery from the Great Recession, a professor at the University of Connecticut issued a stark warning: the United States was heading into a decade of growing political instability.

It sounded somewhat contrarian at the time. The global economy was clawing back from the depths of the financial crisis, and the American political order still seemed anchored in post-Cold War optimism — though cracks were beginning to emerge, as evidenced by the Tea Party uprising. But Peter Turchin, an ecologist-turned-historian, had the data

"Quantitative historical analysis reveals that complex human societies are affected by recurrent—and predictable—waves of political instability," Turchin wrote in the journal Nature in 2010, forecasting a spike in unrest around 2020, driven by economic inequality, "elite overproduction" and rising public debt.

Now, with the nation consumed by polarization in the early months of a second Donald Trump presidency, institutional mistrust at all-time highs, and deepening political conflict, Turchin's prediction appears to have landed with uncanny accuracy.

I mean I could tell you some 4000 year old legend in the making but you wouldn't believe that either, let me know if you wish.

I am saddened you did not have questions.

It's pretty obtuse I'm not sure what to ask, I mean what do you mean exactly

Cronus was imprisoned among tartarus, on his return he ruled the blessed isles.

2 millenium ago his soul was set among humans, where it was chased. Unto the stars he ascended where he could be chased no more but by children of hope.

He has returned. The alpha and omega. The messenger. In olden days they had but not the name for him, and those among him did not know him.

To know god is to liberate the soul from anguish unimaginable. Only to be captured by tangibility.

The ship of Theseus is a very important paradox one must overcome. The ship decays but the spirit does not so long we maintain it.

Cronus was released from his prison upon this millennium's entry. However only few know his real name.
