Myth of the 20th Century

The world has rarely seen a time where two powers dominate the entire globe - almost utterly and completely - like in the latter half of the 20th Century with the United States and the Soviet Union, as our guest Thomas777 tonight points out. After the end of the Cold War in 1991, it also became easy to feel like the era of major global conflict was over, and forget just how deadly and potentially catastrophic with nuclear weapons the preceding eras had become. During the post World War II era, with the Axis powers having been thoroughly defeated, the (former) allies, replete with their battle tested armies and massive armaments and industrial bases, aligned against each other into capitalist and communist blocs. With the stakes never before this high, and the entire world hoping to avoid another cataclysmic 100 million dead, the United States began funding think tanks to come up with ways to do this - most notably at the RAND Corporation. During their early years, and up until the height of the Cold War, RAND attracted thousands of famous and highly influential intellects from the fields of physics, mathematics, statistics, economics and more, many of who went on to win Nobel prizes, focusing on war strategy, production planning, and predictive modeling of adversaries using theoretical and computerized simulations. But as the Vietnam War demonstrated the limits of these approaches in entrenched nationalist struggles, and as general sentiment for military research soured, the organization today is a shadow of its former self, and stands amidst a crowded field of beltway adjacent think tanks, going through the white paper motions without demonstrating anything of true note - perhaps like much of the rest of the broader US military establishment.-- Brought to you by --- Books: https://www.imperiumpress.org/product-page/steelstorm, https://imperiumpress.org/shop/steelstorm-ii/ - Thomas and Pete at the Movies - https://freemanbeyondthewall.com/movies/- Thomas TV - https://www.youtube.com/@7homas7V- Telegram - https://t.me/s/WOODPILEDISPATCH- Substack - https://realthomas777.substack.com/- Gumroad - https://7homas777.gumroad.com/- Twitter - https://x.com/REAL_7homas777- Thomas' CashApp - $7homas777-- References --- On War, Clausewitz (1832)- Cybernetics, Wiener (1948)- On Thermonuclear War, Kahn (1960)- The Pentagon Papers, New York Times (1971) - https://www.nytimes.com/spotlight/the-pentagon-papers- The Terror Network, Sterling (1981)- Inside the Soviet Army, Suvarov (1982)- WarGames, Badham (1983)- Beautiful Mind, Howard (2001)- Soldiers of Reason, Abella (2008)- The Fog of War, Morris (2008)- TMBS Doc - Private Gov - The Rand Corp Meritocracy, Bessner (2020) -- Zeihan - After Dark - the Collapse of Globalization, Myth of the 20th Century (2022) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2022/10/31/zeihan-after-dark-the-collapse-of-globalization/- Episode 1079: Trump is Targeted w/ Thomas777 and Dark Enlightenment, The Pete Quiñones Show  (2024) - https://www.spreaker.com/episode/episode-1079-trump-is-targeted-w-thomas777-and-dark-enlightenment--60686297- Proud Prophet - Reagan's Nuclear War Briefing Declassified - https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-book/nuclear-vault/2016-12-22/reagans-nuclear-war-briefing-declassified- Pournelle’s Iron Law of Bureaucracy - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Pournelle#Pournelle's_laws- Arrow’s impossibility theorem - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow%27s_impossibility_theorem- Nash Equilibrium - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nash_equilibrium- Shoe-banging incident - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoe-banging_incident- Simplex algorithm - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplex_algorithm Get full access to The American Sun at theamericansun.substack.com/subscribe

Serving as emperor of Rome from 161AD to 189AD, Marcus Aurelius was considered the last of the five ‘good emperors’, and oversaw a time of relative peace and prosperity at home while stabilizing the empire’s frontiers abroad. Noted for his modesty and dedication to stoic philosophy, Aurelius’ writings serve as a guidepost for many seeking wisdom on life, rule, and what we leave behind. Tonight we are joined by Zach from Logos Revealed to examine Aurelius’ most famous work, ‘Meditations’, and to explore its lessons for leadership in a corrupt modern world.-- Brought to you by --Zach from Logos RevealedOdysee Channel LogosRevealed - https://odysee.com/@LogosRevealed:0Twitter/X - @LogosRevealedI--General Lancehttps://link.space/@LancesLegionYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAioE7UWN_tV6gVFcqQZqPwLance’s new book: Caesar Bellator - https://www.amazon.com/dp/1957583193DVX Publishing - https://www.dvxpublishingcompany.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/LancesLegionwith Adam Smith and Hans Lander-- References --- Republic, Plato (375 BC)- Meditations, Aurelius (180)Coriolanus, Shakespeare (1605)- Gladiator, Scott (2000) Get full access to The American Sun at theamericansun.substack.com/subscribe

Wall Street has famously been a place for young and ambitious people looking to make a career in finance, and has been host to numerous boom and bust phases, whether it be the IPO craze of the late 90s or the mortgage derivative boom in the 2000s. In the 1980s, leveraged buyout (LBO) firms like KKR spearheaded the then largest takeover deal ever in the purchase of RJR Nabisco, as chronicled by the bestselling book ‘Barbarians at the Gate’. As these types of takeovers typically involved large amounts of debt and cost cutting layoffs to pay for the debt, LBOs grew unpopular by the 1990s, eventually leading to the industry rebranding under the Private Equity banner. But despite the name change, cheap interest rates following the 2008 financial crisis led to a massive rise in funds of private equity management by over 1,000 times today over 1980, with perhaps a trillion dollars controlled by the top 30 firms of the likes of Blackstone, KKR, and the Carlyle Group. Tonight we are joined by New Yorker Ace Neiderhoff to give us an insider take on this often misunderstood but tremendously significant industry, and also offer guidance to those seeking to make it in one of the toughest and most competitive cities in the world.-- Brought to you by --Very special guest Ace Niederhoffhttps://x.com/aceniederhoffstay tuned for the ‘Manifest Destiny Podcast’with Adam Smith and Hans Lander--New: Hard Copies of Exit Strategy now Available! http://www.lulu.com/shop/adam-smith/exit-strategy/paperback/product-24191334.html- http://myth20c.com~~-- Donations --~~Ethereum: 0x4d3617C1C5b466E2BE1aD1F7D85C03DBBa6F6bb7BTC: 16UQ6ukmTjz4Z7Ce4n23bN6tKGnU7XkPeQ- https://myth20c.wordpress.com/books/- http://theamericansun.com- http://twitter.com/myth20c- myth20c@tutanota.com- http://gab.ai/myth20c-- References --- Intelligent Investor, Graham (1949)- Barbarians as the Gate, Burrough (1989)- Investment Banking: Valuation, Leveraged Buyouts, and Mergers and Acquisitions, 2nd Edition, Rosenbaum et. al.

Since its founding in 1976, Apple has been at or near the center of personal computing. Led by legendary founder Steve Jobs, who described the company as lying at the intersection between liberal arts and technology, Apple pioneered the introduction of the graphical user interface, the music player, and the smartphone to everyday people around the world. Since his passing, however, the company, led by former operations manager Tim Cook, has delivered strong unit growth and profit numbers, but has not been able to introduce a revolutionary new product or paradigm in the way we think about the world of information technology. To the question of has the soul of the company left the building permanently, we are joined tonight by returning guest Woe, from the excellent Stone Choir podcast, to share his perspectives as an over 15 year Apple veteran on the company’s place in the culture of Silicon Valley and the broader moral issues in the coming era of artificial intelligence.-- Brought to you by --Very special guest Woe @treblewoeThe Cargo Cult Right - https://x.com/treblewoe/status/1787155581293240446Podcast RSS: https://rss.podfora.com/stone-choir/https://stone-choir.com/with Adam Smith and Hans LanderNew: Hard Copies of Exit Strategy now Available! http://www.lulu.com/shop/adam-smith/exit-strategy/paperback/product-24191334.html- http://myth20c.com~~-- Donations --~~Ethereum: 0x4d3617C1C5b466E2BE1aD1F7D85C03DBBa6F6bb7BTC: 16UQ6ukmTjz4Z7Ce4n23bN6tKGnU7XkPeQ- https://myth20c.wordpress.com/books/- http://theamericansun.com- http://twitter.com/myth20c- myth20c@tutanota.com- http://gab.ai/myth20c-- References --- Blood Meridian, McCarthy (1985)- Steve Jobs, Isaacson (2011)- Ex Machina, Garland (2014)- After Steve: How Apple Became a Trillion-Dollar Company and Lost Its Soul, Mickle (2022)- Apple M1 Chip: Everything You Need to Know, Clover (2022) - https://www.macrumors.com/guide/m1/- Stone Choir - Christian Nationalism, Myth of the 20th Century (2023) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2023/08/06/stone-choir-christian-nationalism/- The Big Lie, Stone Choir (2023) - https://stone-choir.com/the-big-lie/- Stone Choir - After Dark - Good vs Evil, Myth of the 20th Century (2023) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2023/10/02/stone-choir-after-dark-good-vs-evil/- Apple is reportedly exploring a partnership with Google for Gemini-powered feature on iPhones, Mehta (2024) - https://techcrunch.com/2024/03/17/apple-is-reportedly-exploring-a-partnership-with-google-for-gemini-powered-feature-on-iphones/- Technology, Stone Choir (2024) - https://stone-choir.com/technology/- This is what dismantling the Apple Car project looks like, Potuck (2024) - https://9to5mac.com/2024/05/02/what-dismantling-the-apple-car-project-looks-like/ Get full access to The American Sun at theamericansun.substack.com/subscribe

Mark Twain once quipped, regarding truth in journalism, that “there are lies, damned lies - and then there are statistics.” Interpretations vary, but a common take away is that people lie to others using fancy numbers. This is almost certainly true - but what is explored with tonight’s guest, statistician and professor William M. Briggs, is the tendency for people to deceive themselves by assigning undue authority to complex mathematical models and their practitioners - and not questioning the assumptions that inevitably go into those models in areas such as climate change and the recent COVID scare. In his books ‘Everything You Believe is Wrong’ and ‘Uncertainty’, Briggs examines many of these commonly held fallacies, and we discuss those findings along with his experience in the academic world to understand the implications it has for doing science in an increasingly non-scientific culture.-- Brought to you by --William M.

Economics today is an institutionalized profession, with academic departments, research grants, and millions of practitioners in the finance and government sectors. In the late 18th and early 19th century, however, economists were not part of any formalized profession, and ranged in background from professors of logic and moral philosophy in the case of Adam Smith to dilettantish journalists with wealthy patrons in the case of Karl Marx. Friedrich List, a former German bureaucrat and eventual entrepreneur emigre to America, saw firsthand the important interplay between government and industry, particularly around protective tariffs for developing a manufacturing sector - serving as a potential “missing link” in the body of thought between the extremes of radical laissez faire free markets and top down centrally planned economies. As the world continues on a path towards de-globalization and increasing polarization, List’s system of National Economics provides a guidebook to many developing and developed economies alike that seek to increase their level of independence and sovereignty.-- Brought to you by --Very special guest Mike from Imperium Press- Substack - https://imperiumpress.substack.com/- Telegram - @ImperiumPress - Twitter - @kulturedads- imperiumpress.orgwith Adam Smith-- References --- Wealth of Nations, Smith (1776)- On War, Clausewitz (1832)- The Collapse of Complex Societies, Tainter (1988)- Governing the Market, Wade (1990)- Korean Tiger - the Park Chung-Hee Era, Myth of the 20th Century (2020) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2020/03/04/korean-tiger-the-park-chung-hee-era/- The Ancient City, Fustel de Coulanges (2020) - https://www.imperiumpress.org/shop/the-ancient-city/- Why I am Not a Liberal, Bowden, Pankhurst et. al.

Vladimir Putin recently won reelection as Russia’s president by a wide margin, making him the country’s longest serving ruler since Josef Stalin. Both men have also uniquely presided over their country’s largest-scale conflicts, throwing support to the argument that economic sanctions placed on countries during war only serve to entrench rather than dislodge their leaders. But the long-term sustainability of a war-style command economy remains less clear, with notable examples of North Korea and arguably the Soviet Union itself raising real concerns of how people can fall behind over time without a relaxing of the central authority. Tonight, we are rejoined by Lance, our frequent military expert and contributor to help us unravel some of the mystery of the military and economic machinations of the Putin regime and how it compares to other stratagems in America and around the world.-- Brought to you by --Very special guest General Lancehttps://link.space/@LancesLegionYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAioE7UWN_tV6gVFcqQZqPwDVX Publishing - https://www.dvxpublishingcompany.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/LancesLegionwith Adam Smith and Hans LanderLance’s new book: Caesar Bellator - https://www.amazon.com/dp/1957583193--New: Hard Copies of Exit Strategy now Available! http://www.lulu.com/shop/adam-smith/exit-strategy/paperback/product-24191334.html- http://myth20c.com~~-- Donations --~~Ethereum: 0x4d3617C1C5b466E2BE1aD1F7D85C03DBBa6F6bb7BTC: 16UQ6ukmTjz4Z7Ce4n23bN6tKGnU7XkPeQ- https://myth20c.wordpress.com/books/- http://theamericansun.com- http://twitter.com/myth20c- myth20c@tutanota.com- http://gab.ai/myth20c-- References --- FM100-2-1 The Soviet Army Operations and Tactics, US Army (1984) - https://archive.org/details/fm100-2-1/mode/1up- The Fall and Rise of Russian Electronic Warfare, Clark (2022) - https://spectrum.ieee.org/the-fall-and-rise-of-russian-electronic-warfare- Ukraine loses 16 US-made armored vehicles, group says, but Kyiv's forces still gain territory, CNN (2023) - https://edition.cnn.com/europe/live-news/russia-ukraine-war-news-06-12-23/h_677ac2bebb1d8324ffd538ac5124876e- Putin's war fired up Russia's economy and beat sanctions - but big problems lie ahead, Summa Money (2024) - https://summamoney.com/investing/the-daily/putins-war-fired-up-russias-economy-and-beat-sanctions-but-big-problems-lie-ahead/- War against Ukraine to cost Russia $1.3 trillion in lost growth - Secretary Austin, The New Voice of Ukraine (2024) - https://ca.news.yahoo.com/war-against-ukraine-cost-russia-183000980.html- Exclusive: Russia producing three times more artillery shells than US and Europe for Ukraine, CNN (2024) - https://www.wral.com/story/exclusive-russia-producing-three-times-more-artillery-shells-than-us-and-europe-for-ukraine/21322737/- Economic impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_impact_of_the_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine Get full access to The American Sun at theamericansun.substack.com/subscribe

The largest country in Latin America - in terms of population, land mass, and economy - is a crown worn indisputably by Brazil. But the history of this land, spanning four timezones and over five centuries of development, is one marked by tumultuous governance and political conflict, with different crowns worn by monarchs, military dictators, and democratic politicians alike, ruling over a teeming population of millions of former slaves, colonists and wannabe conquistadors.

Located at the southern end of South America and comprising much of Patagonia, a region known for its ruggedly beautiful, yet empty expanses, Argentina is a country distant geographically as well as one metaphysically often forgotten. That all changed last year when Javier Milei won election to President and perhaps most notably held a rally wielding a chainsaw, promising to slash government bureaucracy and free up the society in an attempt to revitalize the long-struggling economy, plagued for decades by slow growth, chronic inflation, and currency crises.
