Yeah.
So they fell to a lot of the same...
issues that empires tend to fall to human weakness and weakness recognizable stuff degeneracy all of that um also rabid nationalism had a tendency to break down empires as well um i like spangler and i think if you read oswald spangler he talks about how there's kind of a life cycle but i think the unique aspect of the business empire was that it was
explicitly christian based on orthodox christianity um and so in many metrics of what it is to be successful or flourishing it flourished um but it did fall i think again i'm not trying to measure christianity just on worldly success but i do think it does play out in that way at times right if you're if you're really
based around christ if you're if your theology or civilization is logo centric then it's going to play out that way you're just going to prosper because you're aligned with what's true you're aligned with that transcendent source so um anyway for me that journey ended up being eventually orthodox christianity um so but just really quick back to the byzantine empire did you know it existed before
Not many people in the West.
Again, there is a very clear, especially if you take humanities courses, you know, the way they're constructed in college and maybe even younger private type schools.
Like you go from...
You do the pre-Socratics, you do Plato and Aristotle, and then you do Augustine, maybe a Stoic or two, and then you jump to Descartes.
So you skip that whole period.
And not just to say Byzantium, but also the Latin West was explicitly Christian as well.
I think it's intentionally overlooked.
They don't want people reading...
what brilliant thinkers were doing in the Middle Ages because this is where we get universities.
Universities come out of Byzantium, they come out of the West.
So do hospitals.
So some of these very fundamental, science itself actually comes out of that whole period.
So, but we are taught, we think that, no, these are all post-enlightenment, you know, post-scientific revolution developments.
They're not, they're medieval developments.
So a lot of that's suppressed.
