For the history buffs, it is thought that Justinian plaque (most likely caused by plaque bacteria- Yersinia pestis) finished the Roman empire.
i thought the lead they used to line aqueducts and containers and such had some influence too. long term lead poisoning.
Nah, I read that that was debunked, the Romans were well aware of the negative effects of led.

You want to talk politics...fine...but I am not interested in the current choice of two "pensioners".
What I am interested is:
1. Is this the decline era for the US "empire"?
2. If no...nothing. If yes, then would that decline be more like the decline of the British Empire (BE) or more like the decline and fall of Rome?
3. If like BE, then...nothing. If like the decline and fall of Rome, then we could be up for a few decades to few centuries of unpleasantness (Dark Ages II).

Maybe something rhymes here.
What's your take?

Both the Roman and British empires were true empires, that is, they conquered other territories and subjugated them.
The US is not doing that, their power is more of an economic/social/cultural influence spiced with a strong military power. There is no conquered foreign territory that can collapse and/or break of into independence, it will just be a case of less foreign influence with US proper still intact.

The actions alleged by some to reap rewards in a potential afterlife are generally those which reap rewards in this life.
Summarily: don't be a dick
Summarily: don't be a dick
With things like tapeworms, childhood cancer, etc., maybe God likes dicks.
That invokes the basic problem of theodicy: Omniscient, omnipotent, benevolent—pick two at most.
To my knowledge, the argument was first set forth in 1436 by Laurentius Valla in De libero arbitrio. (To avoid being burnt at the stake by the love of merciful Christians, Valla used a “Two Truths” style argument to pretend that he was impugning Apollo, not the Christian deity.)
Whence evil?
- If a monotheistic God himself created evil and is the prime cause of evil, then he may be omniscient and omnipotent, but not infinitely benevolent.
- If God cannot stop evil, then he may be omniscient and benevolent, but not omnipotent.
- If God lacks the foreknowledge needed to stop evil events from occurring, then he may be omnipotent and benevolent, but not omniscient.
- Evil exists, as you will observe. Thus, God himself wills it—and/or God is powerless to intervene against it—and/or God does not know the future, such that he can stop evil from occurring.
Despite all the volumes of argumentation that have been spent by theologians tying themselves in knots over it, this logical trap is insuperable: An omniscient, omnipotent, benevolent god cannot exist.
Not all religions suffer this problem—to the contrary, it is a theological failure only suffered by monotheisms that allege a benevolent God. (The ancient Greeks never claimed that Apollo was omnipotent, omniscient, or particularly benevolent—zero for three; thus, Valla’s excuse was clearly spurious.)
Or maybe he wants only the strongest to survive, so we should kill the weakest among us.
Eh, just because. I will quote “chapter and verse” from the greatest ethicist of the past two thousand years.
The god of Bitcoin demands that you take full responsibility for yourself: For it is a law of Nature and Bitcoin that power and responsibility are as two sides of the same coin.

That article helps me understand why smart people still ain't getting it. Why Saylor breaks from the herd while Quants and Hedgies are still dragging their feet. Why a few guys like Torque make the big move while most are Bitcoin tourists.
Still early, expecting a long stubborn melt-up.

I suspect the US will slowly decline and be superceded by China, and the effects will be similar to those experienced by Britain after its decline in the 20thC and subsequent succession by US. The British are still pretty comfortable though, in terms of per capita GDP and standard of living. So while the US might decline, it will be slow enough not to affect its citizens for a few more generations, and even then it may not be very dramatic.

Once a person doesn't have to think about feeding himself, he starts thinking how to free himself. Whats the point of having money but living in a dystopian society, you have all the hookers and blow in the world but can't use it cause the state is monitoring your every step. They won't be able to forcefully change the "make your money and leave" attitude, think the rich would need something less totalitarian.

I did exactly that. I told no one, for fear of being thought insane. Even I thought I had gone a little crazy.
I have no regrets though, even when I was down 50% in the first few years. Worth it.
Was there a final clue or push that gave you the courage get up and do it, financially move to Bitcoinlandia?

It is sad that from all that I said, this was all that was picked out:
That may or may not be true. I am leading my life on the assumption or possibility that there may be. If there isn't any, then I'd have lost nothing and lived a good life. It's my fire extinguisher.
Pascal’s Wager means that Pascal was a bad gambler.
A good life—according to whom?
Having lost nothing is at best arguable, whereas some of the major religions define “goodness” in a way that is inimical to life on this Earth. Observe the decline of the Romans—or of the modern world.
How can you do that if you do not know what actions in life reap rewards in afterlife?
In this context, the inevitable answer must be the commandments of some god or another.
Which one? (If any answers that he thinks the answer is obvious, then he has constructed a circular argument that uses his existing beliefs, accepted on faith, as a premise upon which to argue for his beliefs.)
Not much of a philosopher, are you.
