The REAL Truth about the Council of Nicaea | Jeremy Ryan Slate
"Romans were at 15,000% inflation by 284 AD. 15,000%? Everybody looks at me like that when I say that. The other is the immigration and border management starts to really become a problem where you start to lose your identity. And the third is where politicians start becoming so short-sighted, they just care about what gets them power right now. Those three things are what drives you kind of into a civilizational collapse."
Ancient historian explains that Rome experienced 15,000% inflation by 284 AD as part of a three-factor collapse pattern involving monetary debasement, loss of cultural identity through immigration, and short-sighted politicians. He argues this "Roman pattern" appears throughout history and warns that modern civilizations can survive one factor but not all three simultaneously, with currency strength being the most critical element.
