100 years ago, a German historian noticed something:

All cultures have a set life cycle โ€” you can predict when (and how) they'll end.

The early 21st century, he predicted, will spell disaster for big cities...

And a new Caesar shall rise... (thread) ๐Ÿงต Image
Oswald Spengler saw cultures as distinct, living organisms.

They are destined to a cycle of birth, growth, decay and death... Image
Image

Image
He smashed the idea of history as a linear progression, from ancient to medieval to modern.

In "The Decline of the West", he notes similarities across 8 cultures โ€” from Babylonian to West European (Faustian). Image

The 12 Apostles risked their lives to spread Christianity across the globe.

All but one were murdered for doing so โ€” brutally.

Here's what happened to them, starting with Judas... (thread) ๐Ÿงต Image
Preaching the Gospel was a dangerous business in the first century Roman Empire (and beyond).

Christians were widely persecuted, and most Apostles faced brutal martyrdoms for their teachings... Image
Judas Iscariot, however, died before the Resurrection.

Consumed by guilt, he returned the 30 pieces of silver received to betray Christ, and hanged himself near Jerusalem. Image

This is what angels look like according to the Bible.

A thread explaining the 9 types, and why they say when they appear:

"Be not afraid"... ๐Ÿงต Image
"Angel" (from the Greek "angelos") just means messenger.

We think of God's messengers as winged humanoids, but encounters in the Bible get far more interesting than that... Image
Theologians have spent centuries making sense of their various descriptions.

Aquinas identified 9 separate types of angel โ€” from the mostly-humanoid to the much more abstract. Image

Like us, Ancient Rome had a birth rate crisis.

In 300 AD, Rome was a city of ~1 million people.

200 years later, hardly enough people lived there to fill the Colosseum.

And their story feels alarmingly familiar... (thread) ๐Ÿงต Image
Fertility has collapsed so rapidly in modern Italy that 1 million births in 1964 is down to <400k last year.

The state is even giving away homes for โ‚ฌ1 to repopulate crumbling villages... Image
Italy's birth rate is 1.2, but the most catastrophic in the world is South Korea: 0.72 children per woman.

The number of births in South Korea will halve every 20 years at this rate. Image

Today is J.R.R. Tolkien's birthday.

Tolkien penned some of our civilization's greatest works, but you may not know *why* he did โ€” or how.

His stories are so enduringly real because he actually lived them... (thread) ๐Ÿงต Image
This was Tolkien's resume before authoring any books:

โ€ข Linguist (spoke ~15 languages)
โ€ข Conlanger (invented 15 more of his own)
โ€ข Soldier (fought at the Somme in WW1)
โ€ข Professor (Anglo-Saxon studies at Oxford)
โ€ข Code-breaker (recruited for WW2) Image
In fact, he only published his first book at age 45 (The Hobbit), and LOTR was released in his 60s.

Why do his stories feel so timeless and real? Because he lived them himself...Image
