What the Time Cube is this nonsense?
I derive this conclusion from planetary phase shift theory, my systems framework for understanding the life-cycle of human civilisation in terms of energy, information, and organisation.
Planetary phase shift theory draws on C.S. Holling’s adaptive cycle model, which describes four phases to the life-cycle of any living system: a growth and accumulation phase, a conservation/stability phase, a release (collapse) phase, and a reorganisation (renewal) phase which is the creative incubator for a new life-cycle.
It went from interesting analysis to supermarket tabloid astrology really quickly.
Lol the USSR collapsed because it was driven into the ground for decades by an authoritarian regime and relied extremely much on oil sales, who tanked (the oil price tanked) and took the whole fucking soviet union down.

Which*
But, ferreal. Are we still talking about the USSR?
Well yes?
Hunh.
- decades of authoritarian regime? ✅
- irrational dependence on fossil fuels ✅
- propaganda indiscernible from journalism ✅
- internal politics fueled by corruption, greed, hate ✅
- gen pop pitted against each other to boiling point ✅
- secret “police”, silencing political rivals & dissenters, etc… ✅✅✅
Yep. Sounds about right. Who else could that be except the former USSR? 🤷🏼♂️ Good thing everyone’s learned that lesson and we can move forward as a fucking species, eh?
