I will start by explaining why the defeat of the West does not in itself surprise me, and why indeed I have anticipated it, and then I’ll try to say something about the areas where I am less certain and to formulate a few hypotheses. But please excuse my lack of certainty at this point. To offer any certainty at this point about what is going to happen would be enormously presumptuous, even a sign of insanity.

Je vais d’abord rapidement rappeler les thèses de mon livre qui m'ont donné le plaisir, je dois l'avouer, d'une prédiction réalisée avec une vitesse folle. Pour voir se réaliser ma prédiction sur l’effondrement du système soviétique, j'ai quand même dû attendre 15 ans. Dans le cas de la défaite militaire et économique des États-Unis, de l'Europe et de l'Ukraine face à la Russie, je n'ai eu à attendre qu’un an.

Feeling good about the chapter I just wrote for “the novel I’m not allowed to talk about until it’s done” — I’ve been writing so much and pulling all the threads of the story together: it feels like maybe I really can complete this story.
Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by all the text. But right now I can see a light glinting at the end of the tunnel.
I imagine listening to the whole book and liking it. Thinking “that was a good story.”
That will be me someday! Maybe you to? maybe?

Musician mutuals! I need one more thing to cover for this week's Other People's Music, so if you have a release you'd like to get more ears on (and have never submitted before), send me a DM.
Here's a link explaining the very few requirements:

To that I have since added two things:
1) NO AI of any kind. Not in the art, not to write lyrics, nada. If you mess with that stuff, don't submit to me, please.
2) Everything has to be on one release, for logistical reasons.
