And so the endless circle of life comes to an end, meaningless and grim. Why did they live, and why did they die? No reason. Two hundred million years of evolution snuffed out, for in the end Nature is horrific and teaches us nothing.

No reason to get excited
The thief, he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke
But, uh, but you and I, we've been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us stop talkin' falsely now
The hour's getting late, hey
All along the watch tower

The end of the end of history.

Overcast all day. Ugh. Our high was 59F. Ugh. Winter is coming. No writing again today. But a lot of planning for the sixth interlude, which is quite a bit different than what I'd originally thought it would be. I'm planning to write it late today or very early in the morning. And I think this is…

Back in 1991 after the successful conclusion of the Gulf War it seemed for a brief moment that the West's political and economic system was going to be the blueprint for a peaceful and prosperous world.
Twenty years later that hope seems naive at best.
NATO has survived but along with the UN and the EU it is battered and bruised.
For the first time since the 1930s the initiative has shifted from the Western Democracies.
China now competes globally with the US in a way unimaginable in 1991.
From Russia to Turkey, Brazil to India strong male leaders support hard line nationalist even religious based policies.
By contrast Western countries are nervous and unsure of themselves. Peaceful New Zealand thanks to Covid is now a hermit Kingdom until 2022.
The climate catastrophe ought in the twenty years since 1991 have given new impetus to international co-operation. Instead countries vie to protect their economies while urging others to make sacrifices.
In some ways this has proved to be the End of History. Not in the optimistic glow of 1991 but in an all too familiar reversion to a world we tried to leave in 1945.

I wrote this way back in 2021 when Covid was still the dominant news story.
GTX asks the relevance to this site?
1991 was the year when many of the projects we now revisit seemed to lose their relevance.
My last sentence seems even more appropriate on this Rememberance Sunday with conflicts raging from Africa to Yemen.

Free college promises intensify military recruitment crisis

It is incumbent upon us to ensure that we not only fight radicalization throughout our nation, but also help secure America’s next generation of warfighters.

Promising to send a veteran to college these days comes off as more of a threat. Who wants to spend years being berated by dangerhaired harpies and massively confused weirdos, all while the ideologies you swore to defend your nation from are paraded about as the only moral virtues you're allowed to have?
 
Free college for all, the human race de-evolving back into the ancient primordial goo with help of loads more social media developers and under the influencers.
