How civilizations get born and die, according to history (the cycle)

Civilizational prerequisites:
  • Sufficiently high prefrontal cortex ability and intelligence within the average population (planning, impulse control, etc.)
  • Needs to emerge from a place of violence (ex. war for competition for land and dominance over other tribes/groups)
    • This necessitates that a region isn't inhabited by isolated tribes but developed tribes competing for land.
    • If tribes are still a relevant thing in an area, and not ethnicity, then it's not advanced and not at a stage for real civilization
  • Needs a religion to establish meaning and order, and the group must comfortably dominate the area.

  1. Ethnogenesis, a new ethnicity is created.
  2. Culturogenesis and an emergence of a worldview.
  3. Expansion
  4. Innovation
  5. Peak
  6. Degeneracy and corruption
  7. Movements attempt to fight off degeneracy (never works)
  8. Fragility, weakness and decay.
  9. Breaks up and new ethnicities, cultures, states and kingdoms form.
  10. The founding ethnicity and culture will never reach their former glory every again.
Next major civilization repeats this cycle.

Examples of civilizations who went through this cycle fully: Arabian, Egyptian, Greco-Roman, Sumerian, Mesopotamian, Chinese, Indus Valley, Western (soon)

MENA is a shithole because they desertified their extremely fertile lands due to overfarming (brains aren't built for long term thinking like East Asians).

The Han race was born from two tribes that won a war and evolved though non stop violence and competition due to being an elite civilization on a plain open to non stop invasions unlike sheltered Europeans. Han are just the descendants of the winners. that's why we're the most superior race on earth. Stages don't apply to China's it's gonna be number one forever

All plains, more than 50 million people died here.
Europe is a continent flooded with war.
