Harvard's first chairman of sociology, Pitirim Sorokin, spent decades analyzing every major civilization in recorded history to answer one question: Why do great cultures die? His answer, published in 1941, predicted almost everything happening today. Down to the collapse of the family, the death of art, and the rise of tyrants. Maybe even the popularity of TikTok.

I asked @grok to develop a "Monroe Doctrine" for Europe in 2025. All credits go to @grok. The ideas embedded exclusively originate from the algorhytm, and are up for debate. The question embedded however is whether we do not need a call for unity. To be debated in dedicated fora.

Toynbee, one of the founders of the ISCSC, believed that self-directed learning was the cornerstone of civilizational growth. As he saw it, the rise or fall of #civilizations often depends on whether their people are equipped not just to learn, but to keep learning . #education

#OTD, July 14, 1789, the storming of the Bastille shook not just a monarchy, but the very idea of #civilization itself. The French Revolution challenged centuries of inherited power, questioned divine rights, and introduced radical visions of liberty, equality, and fraternity.🧵
