Except that there is zero evidence for any sort of instability in the present. When there are actual tangible instabilities at play, then it’s easy to see that. For example, everybody can see social and political tensions across the west today.

The reality is that China is outcompeting the west across the board technologically. This shouldn’t be a surprise to anybody. China has a bigger population, better education system, and the state actively guides the industry towards productive purposes.

To sum up, you’re just coping here.
