Our culture needs a haruspex, but where do you get one nowadays? Guess I'll have to do.

Obscure Latin terms aside (that's right, look it up on wikipedia, your exertion pleases me) I really wish Western Civilization (do you capitalize that?) would go ahead and collapse already. It sure is a rather common topic in the current world and I tend to think a people so self-conscious that jump over one another to point at the sign of their own downfall kind of have it coming. Sam and I agreed it's our emphatic desire to see the world saved or damned in our time and selfish as it sounds I think it would do us all some good. Then again the world isn't Western Civilization, which enough people seem to forget.

Of course I'm going to bet against the misguided dispensationalists (parentheses) that form a vocal segment of these United States and say that neither will happen in our time. Someone said that communities and thus "civilizations" do not collapse or otherwise demolish in one fell swoop as the common dialogue would imply anyway. When I actually think about it this makes the most sense. So I suppose the best me and Sam can hope to do is try to keep our heads above the stream of change (lol and urine) and try to watch any disintegration, if it comes(cums).

There is one prediction I'll make here and I've ranted about it only some to others in general. My predictions are thus: 50 years from now of course everything will look different, but Europe in particular I would bet will be most clearly changed politically, ethnically, economically, culturally, and all the rest. I won't go into the whole story now, (I'll wait for some news article to pop up and remind me of the feeling I often get about the continent) but I will say that Europe is what the U.S. could be 50 years from now if we continue to fuck up and philosophically castrate our young (an odd practice instituted with the covenant forged between our European ancestors and their blind, idiot god Relativism).

Europe is killing itself with thought. And let anybody who doubts the efficacy of beliefs in affecting the material world watch Europe. Watch her weep for her past and dread her future and watch her self-destruction. At the least we'll have a testament to the power of will, even if that testament is a mostly Muslim (not that theres anything wrong with that), economically irrelevant, unrecognizable Europe unstuck in time, neither connected with the past nor looking towards any sure future.
