Today I discussed the necessity for power to ensure survival/prosperity both for individuals and the collective group that empowers them, the cycles of civilizations regarding their rise and fall, and the symptoms of power and weakness within them. I discussed the signs of weakness in a decaying society, why moral degeneracy/decay leads to a weak State, as well as relating my 4 Tiers of Human value to why societies seem to grow weak in general, and how political ideology replacing religion/culture can be a bad thing.
