Okay so this one… genuinely blew my mind. Ray Dalio - the guy manages one of the biggest hedge funds on earth - basically sat down and mapped out how empires rise and fall throughout history. And the scary part? When you look at the patterns, we're literally in that part of the cycle right now. The part right before everything shifts. In simple terms - World War territory. It's not pessimistic, it's just… the data. Highly recommend if you want to actually understand what's happening in the world, not just the news version of it. I really started understanding how politics work, how the money moves internationally and how the power just gets passed around.
