In terms of societal collapse, I have been looking at 2032 as the date of armegeddon , or the next major asteroid impact when life as I know it will completely cease (needless to say, kind of a downer), but in a recent blog post you mentioned the collapse of the West might stretch out for another 600 years (OMG, thank you!). Which is it?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. When you hand over the reigns of Socrates, please let this naive, gentle soul know how you will ensure its (super-) power will be used for good. You are incorruptible, but sadly, most are not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">God bless you always,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">M in Ottawa<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d33wjekvz3zs1a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Sixth-Wave-ECM-2032.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d33wjekvz3zs1a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Sixth-Wave-ECM-2032-1024x662.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-59262\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>ANSWER:<\/strong>&nbsp;I do not believe that 2032 is the end of civilization. Even if we assume this Sixth Wave will be of equal importance as the one that picked the end of Rome in 175 AD. Roman society declined for the next 300 years, and then the Dark Age emerged for another 600 years. So from the actual peak in Roman society, the low was about 900 years later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That time frame is probably correct for North America but it does not mean society comes to an end. The financial capital of the world will shift to China, which will&nbsp;be the dominant economy for the subsequent 309.6-year period. Then it will migrate to Russia and then to Europe. It will probably take 900 years before it reappears in North America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d33wjekvz3zs1a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Gallup-35-govt-is-problem.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d33wjekvz3zs1a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Gallup-35-govt-is-problem-1024x503.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-86011\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Sixth Wave &amp; 2032\u00a0 QUESTION:&nbsp;Dear Mr. Armstrong It was my great honour to meet you in Orlando in November.
