If I recall correctly, my neuroscience professor referenced that book a few times. I'll put it on my list of must-reads😁👍. Also, I would love to read your lil book report on this. Maybe you could post it on #Alexandria. https://next-alexandria.gitcitadel.eu/

Way too many people are weak-minded these days, imo, and the past six decades or so certainly haven't helped, as the government has only become more aggressive in their coercion of the global populace to become overly reliant on the state for nearly everything. Of course, that's only one overarching reason. That being said, your hypothesis may be true to some degree. Do you think the timing of this storm, combined with the current overly compliant attitude that most seem to hold toward the many means of super-convenience in their everyday lives, will play a part in amplifying the effects of this storm?

Yes. And if you want some more context, we've been in Solar Cycle 25, a period of heightened solar flare activity, since December 2019. Does that context correlate much with what you're talking about re: governments acting trifling? Governments are made of people and a not small portion of us are having our brains addled by solar winds and not realizing it 😅

These eras are typically defined by wars and volcanic activity. Just looking at my feed today I've got a lot of "Russian bear is awakening and war with UK eminent" as well as "Mt. Etna erupts". I'm not saying space weather is the only explanation, but it is one explanation.

I will check out Alexandria thank you for the recommendation!

Yep, that helps😁.

It's interesting that you bring up the fact that these time periods are often defined by increased levels of conflict, aggression, and natural disasters. It's even more fascinating when you begin connecting all the dots: back in cycle 24 we saw a huge increase in aggression from the US in the Middle East for a about a six year timeframe before it began to gradually deter. So, around the middle of the cycle this had occurred. We're seeing something very similar now with this cycle, not just with actual wars, but with an increased focus on economic, political, and cultural wars, as well. When you said weak-minded people it reminded me of how things such as too much convenience, state-controlled narratives, and forced compliance essentially robs or depletes the effectiveness of certain mental capabilities within individuals. For example, characteristics like critical thinking and logical reasoning. I just didn't think astrophysical reasons played a role in the display of such behavior. That being said, it's becoming easier to observe varying levels of increased aggression in society, much of the time over trivial matters. And we are around the middle of this cycle... so🤷.

It would be cool to see your report on Alexandria😁🫡.
