I have been searching, unsuccessfully, for a post from some time ago and hope someone (the original poster?) may be able to help.
It contained a short list, of about six stages, which summarised how civilizations begin, rise and eventually decline. It impressed me with its elegant simplicity. What concerned me, as I looked at the list, was that today’s Western Society seemed to fit in the list at the stage where we were well past our best. In hindsight I should have made a note of the list, as I now can’t remember it.
That’s not much info to go on but I hope someone will be able to help.
