[Main Blog Post] Understanding Spengler's Decline of the West Bit 5: Rationalism and Religiousness

[jprussell]

I think this will be the second-to-last post on The Decline of the West, at least for now. The next one will be a "grab bag" of quotes and thoughts that didn't quite rise to the level of "I should do a full post about this."

As always, I appreciate your thoughts and if there's anything I'm missing or that you'd like to see more of.

Thanks for pointing out the difference between collapse and the shift from culture to civilization.

Fundamental physics is a strange subject. Quantum theory, the standard model, and string theory are abstract models with supposedly mind-boggling implications. None are in use in engineering. General relativity is in use for GPS location, so that at least has a real use.
