@Timitomaso @rbreich. Given the current structure this type of change is not possible. We need structural change to take place. There’s an interesting book called #thestormbeforethecalm by #georgefriedman this book highlights 2 types of structural changes in United States history: institutional changes and socio-economic changes. There is a different cycle for each. His prediction for the 2020s is structural change in both, hence the storm before the calm.

I’ve been really into #walterbenjamin and #gilesdelueze lately. Also, #georgefriedman has got some pretty cool political analysis. There is a cool cutting edge of #poststructuralism right now. I think there is also a big case for how #danielkahneman and #erickandel fit into this stuff. I’d love to bounce some ideas off anyone who reads this stuff too. Hit me up!

Geopolitics of #Poland #GeorgeFriedman

"So the idea that the #EuropeanUnion is more than an economic union, but a cultural union. You always find that the values that they want to impose are the values of North Western Europe. The problem of this is you are you and they are attempting to de-legitimize you as one way to assure the power of what I'll call North Western Europe. My point here is you can't become them, you have your own song, you live your own way." 20 mins

"Why do people want to predict the..decline (of the U.S.)?"
Christian Smith

"The #Europeans are bitter. Up until the end of WW2, they were the center of gravity of the world system. The US has risen & there is a belief in Europe that the US is a nation of unsophisticated yahoos of which there is some truth to it but we do ok.
(Some think) the decline of the US will allow more sophisticated, serious management of the Int'l System than the #Americans can give to which I say..."

I have seen some talks by #GeorgeFriedman that I strongly disagreed with, but he has been on fire giving insightful talks about #Nationalism, #NationalIdentity, and how that relates to Classical Liberalism and problems in the EU.

Must watch for NAShow producers.
