Wm.sonA THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
Civilizations in decline are consistently characterized by a tendency towards standardization and uniformity. -Arnold Toynbee, historian (14 Apr 1889-1975)
weitere Katastrophen zugefügt hat, Katastrophen solchen Ausmaßes, dass sie schließlich in eine globale politische Einheit als kleinerem Übel einwilligen wird.« 5/5
Ich fürchte, #ArnoldToynbee hat Recht – die bisherigen Katastrophen haben die Menschheit nicht zur Raison gebracht. Im Gegenteil. 5/5
> ... Arnold Toynbee's formulation. Toynbee claimed that history cannot be based on the model of natural science because human actions are not a cause but a challenge, and their consequences are not an effect but a response. The response to a challenge is not invariable, so history is inherently unpredictable.

ZNet (unofficial)Humanity faces an existential crisis due to global issues like wars, nuclear threats, #ClimateChange, and #inequality. We must choose between political unification or mass suicide.
#ArnoldToynbee suggested creating a minimal, voluntary #WorldGovernment focused on key issues like atomic energy and climate change, with "world-mindedness" over divisiveness. He believed we would adopt this approach only at the brink of disaster but saw it as essential for survival.

Gran Maestro ⚕︎per cui uno statista o un attivista può essere, forse non proprio bruciato sul rogo, ma sicuramente ostracizzato e discreditato".
Parole di #ArnoldToynbee nel lontano 1931 alla IV conferenza annuale dell'Istitute for the Scientific Study of International Realations.
Guarda caso 1931 - 1971, 40 anni... la Cabala e la #gematria! Da qui si capisce sia il discorso al WEF, che la canzone dei Lennon... tutto calcolato!
dee_le_brunThinking of the US mid terms reminds me of what the historian Arnold Toynbee said about the death of civilisations... They die from suicide not murder. #uspol #midterms #arnoldtoynbee #auspol
