This Covd crisis ain't nothing. However, it shows that whatever advancements in medicine man makes, nature can throw us a curve ball.Not my opinion, but that book has an optimistic outlook on humanity. Lots of doomers/conspiratards have made this guy into a more sophisticated Soros figure who controls the world through influencing leaders at Davos. That tickled my curiosity into reading his work, lol, ironically I mostly agree with him albeit less optimistic than he is. Learned a bit here and there from his work, although a lot I already knew.
I'm a proponent that a second dark ages/Middle Ages 2.0 is coming where people from the 2100s/2200s/2300s look back at the 1850-2050s as a Classical Era in awe.
Nature is only one variable though.
Secondly, most people have lost the ability to subsist from nature. That is a big fu.ck up in my opinion. I advise any young brother to acquire self-sufficiency skills. For instance, how are you going to attend to your most basic need, food, if shit hits the fan? Investing in prime agricultural land should be a priority, along with animal husbandry skills etc.
That being said, all the skills, land and precious metals you horde in the World will not save you from a hungry mob when you are a minority. Eff it, I am being too cynical, might not happen in my lifetime, take everyday as it comes freund. We all gotta die someday!
christmas miracleThe world has multiple time zones.

If you want the historical perspective, you should look up "Islam and its past, Jahiliya, late antiquity and the Quran" by Carlo Bakhos and Michael Cook. It's a collection of academic studies done primarily on the historical, cultural and religious context of the Quran's revelation.
Interestingly, the archeological data shows that adherence to Pagan beliefs in the Arabian peninsula seriously wanes after the 4th century CE and the region seems to converge to a predominantly monotheistic belief with a Jewish flavour. Paganism is still there but the widespread practice of it seems to have been overblown by later muslim scholars. This is the picture that the archeological data paints anyway. Iwona Gajda presents the data in an essay found in the last article in "Islam and its past".
