This is how the West's overvaluation and living beyond its means could reset relative to China. Starting with UK, then France and large chunks of EU, then US. Gold spikes and eventual Chinese hegemony. If it can happen without conflict, it will be a gift, because this is the new.

The more Chinese car reviews I watch, the more I want to short the entire Western car industry. With the Xiaomi SU7 you get:.•Ferrari-level exterior design (basically a Purosangue rip-off).•German-level interior finish.•Tesla-like performance, range, and UX. All for 50% less

Interstellar latency is too high for civilization. We should have a number for the maximum latency for civilization, my guess is 100 years for a single message/response in a human lifetime. So the max distance is 50 light years, between colonies.

Interstellar civilizations, which are a staple of science fiction are just that - pure fiction.

And progress would eventually need what we have done with our existing technology - miniaturization. The future of human endeavour is shrinking not expansion.

So we are locked to our star and possibly our planet and the only way for us to survive now, is for us to understand and control weather (that would be needed if we colonise another planet in our system, anyway).

Interstellar seeding may happen. Interstellar civilizations won't.

And changing this by bending space-time or changing the laws of physics is more the realm of religion than science.

The nearest star is 4 light years away. Communication would not be enough to sustain a common civilization, based on human precedent of such remoteness.

Of the billions of galaxies and billions of stars in our own, only about 500 stars are close enough to communicate just once in a lifetime. Is anyone there? Yes. Game over.

One of the definitions of a civilisation is the ability to communicate, and the bare minimum communication would be to send one message and receive a response before you die. Otherwise you are dealing with history and archaeology not a coherent identity.

In some ways, these three theaters are already active, but but the trigger point is if energy, food, and manufactured goods supply chains collapse in parallel, unlike in 2023 when Red Sea disruptions were containable.

Today's rigid alliances and local weak spots are very much like Europe in 1914. What would a modern cascade look like?.

Step 7: Global Conflict. Multiple theaters are active simultaneously:. 1. South China Sea / Taiwan – U.S., Japan, Australia vs. China. 2. Eastern Europe – NATO vs. Russia. 3. Middle East – Israel/U.S./Gulf vs. Iran/proxies.

Step 6: Middle East Flashpoint re ignites. Terror attack in Europe/Gulf tied to Iran proxies. Israel strikes back, Hezbollah escalates. US dragged in → Houthis shut Red Sea, Suez choked, global trade shudders.

Step 5: European Entanglement. NATO, under U.S. pressure of involvement. Poland, Baltics, UK pledge troops, logistics. France, Germany drawn in after Russian cyber attacks on EU. Russia seizes the moment to escalate in Ukraine or the Baltics. NATO Article 5 is triggered.

Step 4: Great Powers Choose Sides. Russia announces “strategic support” for China — provides intelligence & weapons resupply. China declares blockade around Taiwan (“if West wants war, we'll fight on our terms”). Taiwan mobilizes → direct U.S.–China naval confrontation begins.
