Is the West in decline?
And you do see things that are similar, a lot of similarities.
One of them is the way that they devalued their currency to pay their soldiers.
So they ran out of money.
So what they end up doing is devaluing their currency.
They started to mix bronze in with some of the
the silver and the gold, and they had inflation.
I mean, it's what we're doing now.
We're literally devaluing our currency.
We do it differently.
We just print more money and put it into the system.
But you can actually go back and look.
Francis Schaeffer does a great job of showing this.
You can look at the artwork in the Roman Empire.
And how it declines over time as they fall.
You can look at like a coin that was minted in the peak of the Roman Empire and a coin that was minted at the end of the Roman Empire.
And just the detail, the details are like one looks like a five-year-old made it.
And the other looks like a real artist created it.
And it's just, things get lazy.
The art gets lazy.
