It was my major in Grad School. The best thing I learned was not to believe anything, but to research everything. The rest was fairy tales.

There is a paper called 'Fate of Empires' that came out in the 1970's ,you can Google it, and get the PDF. The paper shows that every Empire in history has gone through specific stages,and they all last 10 generations,(240-250 years), before ending in an age of Bread and Circuses, and then falling. I have been awaiting this since I found the paper in early 1980's as a teen, as the US began in 1776 and is due to fall and/or be reborn into an age of exploration at some time between 2016 and 2026. Hold onto your socks and enjoy the read.WWG1WGA brother.

Just briefly scanned it. Very scary when you compare it to today.

There's an even better one with a Buddha on it or something. If I find it, I'll edit this post with the image link.

Pearl Harbor was on Dec 7

Yes. For all the men that died on that day, God Bless.

That's how I read it.
This is one for the history books. The old books do need to be trashed though

If the goal is to get ideas about where we are historically, you might try Tainter's "The Collapse of Complex Societies".
Cover blurb:
"Political disintegration is a persistent feature of world history. The Collapse of Complex Societies, though written by an archaeologist, will therefore strike a chord throughout the social sciences. Any explanation of societal collapse carries lessons not just for the study of ancient societies, but for the members of all such societies in both the present and future. Dr. Tainter describes nearly two dozen cases of collapse and reviews more than 2000 years of explanations. He then develops a new and far-reaching theory that accounts for collapse among diverse kinds of societies, evaluating his model and clarifying the processes of disintegration by detailed studies of the Roman, Mayan and Chacoan collapses."
Relevance? We are at the end of the (cheap) Oil Age and there is nothing on the horizon that has the slightest chance of replacing it (Google, "the cubic mile of oil"). So modernity cannot continue much longer. What will replace it? Certainly something much simpler. But something much simpler cannot maintain 7.5 billion souls, so there are interesting times ahead.
