And if that is to be the case, what would you give me as advice as a 33-year-old?

What actions should I be thinking about taking now, based on what you know about history, to make sure that it's not too bad for myself?

I guess I'm asking this question in light of you predicting that there might be a collapse of the sort of Western or the American empire.

And in such a scenario, I was wondering what it would look like to be an American.

And is there a solution or a course of behavior one should take in such a scenario?

But I guess that's the key question, which is, if the U.S.

empire does collapse, how does American life change or Western life change?

That's a nice message.

That's a very nice message.

And I agree.

It's really interesting.

I've spoken to a couple of physicists now who say similar things about consciousness, and it really has stuck with me.

A lot of things people say, sometimes because I learn so much doing this that I forget them, but this idea that we're all part of the same consciousness.

I think someone said to me, a physicist said to me that...

It's almost like consciousness divided into lots of little pieces.

Fractals, so that it could experience the world or view the world.

Exactly.

And I found that to be a really compelling idea.

Weirdly, I was thinking about this the other day.

I was in a European country and I was driving in a taxi and I looked out the window and you had all of these tourists.
