    Great video about how Rome fell and tying it in to what is going on today. Its eerily similar.

    Long video, but worth the watch in the evening with a cup of tea and a biscuit. Tea being beer, biscuit being pizza.

    That was a pretty epic 2+hrs presentation.

    Listened to it throughout the day yesterday.

    I'm trying to look surprised as our western civilization mimics Rome's fall.. but it's all very pedestrian these days. :/

    you can go to Rome and never does a Roman do.

    there is no need to.

    Parable can be old.

    Yes. Couple of hundred years. If you're lucky you'll see elections removed and the new Emperors installed.
