• Debt can topple even the most powerful empires.
• Whether it’s Rome, Spain, France, Britain, or the Soviet Union, excessive debt has played a critical role in their decline.

The typical pattern in these examples of collapsing empires is:

Stage #1: Empires achieve success and become overconfident.

Stage #2: Overconfidence leads to extravagant spending on luxuries and wars.

Stage #3: Empires finance this lavish spending by going into debt.

Stage #4: The debt grows to an unsustainable level and creates a crushing burden.

Stage #5: Empires finance the debt through taxation and currency debasement.

Stage #6: The populace bears the brunt of debt repayment as empires raise taxes and debase the currency—to the maximum extent—until it causes internal instability.

Stage #7: Empires cannot finance their militaries because of their debt burden. This is usually the tipping point.

Stage #8: Underfunded militaries plus internal instability make empires vulnerable to foreign invasion, domestic revolution, civil war, and other existential dangers.

Stage #9: The empire collapses.

HEADLINE: Trump mulls replacing Pete Hegseth with Ron DeSantis for Pentagon via WallStreet Journal

A combat veteran and former Fox News host, Hegseth would need the support of Senate Republicans to win confirmation to the post.

• There is a reason the GAO isn’t involved in this transition and THIS is why.
• Trump should be able to send whoever he wants up there and they should all just be confirmed. 

One source said Graham, who has never found a war he didn’t want other people to fight, spent the weekend crying to Trump about Hegseth, while Ernst has been running an inside-the-beltway campaign to knife Hegseth. 

Sources say the WSJ article touting DeSantis is a key part of the Ernst/Graham operation to torpedo Hegseth because of his foreign policy views and opposition to endless, pointless wars.

HEADLINE: Modernity’s Self-Destruct Button by Louise Perry

• Our various political crises in 2024 represent the early stages of the transition we are all about to go through. As older voters outnumber the young, aging democracies become increasingly gerontocratic, and spending on the old is protected even as the tax burden on the young becomes ever more punitive. Desperate for young people to keep the economic show on the road, governments permit massive flows of migrants from poor parts of the world that are still fertile, on the assumption that human beings are little more than fungible economic units. These regions’ populations are dissatisfied, but mostly passive—at least thus far. This is the stage at which we find ourselves.
• Only 24 percent of the population ever reached the age of seventy, and once they did, they would expect to claim their pension for an average of only nine years. Life expectancy has increased since 1908, but the pension age has not. In fact, it has fallen—­having been born in 1992, I will qualify for my state pension at the age of sixty-eight.

• Put bluntly: The people on whom modernity depends are failing to reproduce themselves, which means that modernity itself is failing to reproduce itself. Most voters have no idea that this is happening. Nor do most politicians. But it is happening nonetheless, and we are experiencing its early ­stages in the form of diverse political crises across the modern world.
• These are the kinds of questions you can’t have a conversation about on shows that have to reduce things down to 18 second snip-its. 
• I follow a few philosophers, one is Brad Birzer at Hillsdale College.
• When I first started talking to him on this show a few years back about stuff like this, people would tune out.
• We called it the Birzer Effect.
• The Birzer Effect guaranteed no phone calls during the discussion of philosophy or thinking and for an hour or two afterwards. 
• I’m going to tell you right now in 2025, I will put this effect back into effect.
• We don’t need anymore talk shows about the effort to MAGA.
• We will cover it where it needs to be covered.
