SightBringer(@_The_Prophet__):⚡️Civilizational decline need not begin with visible poverty, technological regression or military defeat. It can begin while the monuments are still magnificent, the institutions still powerful and the elites still convinced they represent the pinnacle of progress. The real question is whether accumulated prosperity is being converted into future human possibility. The true measure of a civilization is ultimately what it makes possible for those who have not yet been born. When preserving yesterday becomes more important than creating tomorrow, decline can begin long before anyone recognizes it. That is the signal.
