Is this one of the best channels on Substack right now? If they don’t inhibit your reach, Dr Pattberg, you will have an ever growing audience in the future. Good luck!

China is proud again of its culture. The West not so much. In the West, culture equals racism. The past is racism. Away with it. That is the West for you in a nutshell.

Dr. P.,

I observe the condition of mankind rediscovering the immaterium to be of two distinct branches. First are those who want to mine it for power over others-and profit-which are the same things, second are those who wish to escape from the first. I cannot help but find this entire condition absolutely ridiculous. It is absurd that people are obsessed with controlling or escaping whilst the very foundation of human existence is undergoing radical change.

The fact is that across the board systems that once supported civilization are now literally toxic centers undermining the human effort of survival. The result of the control or escape paradigm is one of preventing any action that could address this sweeping change.

I certainly observe this paralysis in action when it comes to the big three abrahamic religions. Either they instill a servile and powerless attitude, or they induce a cul de sac perspective whereby genuine perception is subject to severe edits, or both.

Nero might have fiddled as Rome burnt, but today's people are strapped into their rollercoaster seats. Some conditions are guaranteed not to last. Of course, mankind could reinstate a working spirituality right where he is, but that seems to be off the table.

Very eye-opening, thank you! Personally, I am concerned about the social condition of our own country, which makes it easy for China to implement its plans.

I remember first hearing about China's imminent collapse from my economy teacher when I was 15. Then I've been hearing about it year after year. I'm gonna turn 45 in a few weeks. 😂

I am over 50 and have been lived in US for 27 years. And to be honest, I have been seeing the media discussion of china’s collapse every year since I was 10. And ironically, I have seen the discussion of US collapse too. 😂 I am ok for the similar topics last for hundreds of years😂

Since I read Dr P, I get strange 'Collapse of China' G Chang or P Zeihan messages on YT, X, and Tiktok. I remember your piece "They Follow". It is true. We never chose to follow those celebrities. They follow us! Stir clear of Social Media. It is all a big scam.

Thanks. Yes, the internet and all social media are now corrupted. If there is wrongthink, they immediately send you the brainwash. I am shadowbanned everywhere. There is no point in existing. Most people post stuff anyway. For nothing. T

The evil oligarchs created what is China today to serve as a dystopian, totalitarian template for the entire world. More and more, the nations of the so-called and farcical "democratic" West resemble the police state, surveillance, ant-hill that is China. It is all going according to long range plans by these demonic monsters.

Yes. I recently needed to double-check on some speeches by Mao Zedong. He talked about Chinese democracy, the will of the people, human rights and all that. Then I checked the Chinese constitution. Also, it is all about democracy. China is a paper-democracy, haha. Best! T

Democracy is a euphemism for dictatorship. A true democracy can only work in a place and situation congruent to where it was birthed, Athens in ancient Greece. A small city-state, one race, one culture, one language, one vision. It can never work or function in a polyglot empire of disparate tribes, ethnicities, and religions. Like the Jew-nited States of Scumerica. The totalitarian slobocracy par excellance'.

Well said, Dr. P! We are in a culture war. And not just from the population, but worldwide!

Tell me about it. Japan is now American. I am not sure we need global Japanese companies.

He does talk a lot about culture, doesn't he. His BRI talk looked a lot like Mussolini.
