The Mongol destruction of Baghdad in 1258 is overrated as a turning point, the real civilizational collapse happened 200 years earlier and was self-inflicted. Everyone has the 1258 story. Hulagu Khan, the Tigris running black with ink, the end of the Abbasid Caliphate. It’s the perfect tragedy; external, dramatic, blame clearly assignable. Muslims reach for it instinctively when explaining decline. But look at what was already gone before the Mongols arrived. Al-Ghazali died in 1111. His Tahāfut al-Falāsifa, whatever its genuine theological merits functionally delegitimized rational philosophy as a pursuit worthy of serious Muslim intellectual energy. Not immediately, not totally, but the trajectory it set was real. By the time the Mongols came, the institutional appetite for speculative rational inquiry had already been declining for over a century. The great translation movement, the engine of the Golden Age had essentially exhausted itself by the 11th century. The bayt al-hikma model was already fading. The madrasa system that replaced it was explicitly designed around naql over ’aql, transmission over generation. Ibn Rushd, the greatest philosophical mind the Islamic world produced, died in 1198 ignored in the East, his works preserved and debated by European scholastics who built their entire university tradition partly on him. He was more alive in Paris than in Cairo. So when the Mongols burned Baghdad they were largely burning a library of a civilization that had already stopped writing the books. The deeper wound is that Defeat is recoverable. The Mongols themselves became Muslim within two generations. But a civilization that loses the will to think, that decides curiosity itself is dangerous.. that is a different kind of collapse entirely. External conquest you can survive. You’ve seen it in Islamic history repeatedly; Crusades, Mongols, colonialism, communities rebuilt. What you cannot easily survive is when the internal legitimacy of inquiry gets revoked by your own scholars in the name of protecting the tradition. That’s the move that actually broke something. And it was made from the inside.

تنها محصول authentic فکری و فرهنگی جامعه‌ی ایران در ۵۰۰ سال گذشته، «شیعه‌گری» بوده. اصالت و در‌هم‌تنیدگی جهان‌بینی و تفکر شیعه با زندگی مردم ایران اونقدر زیاده که به نظرم حالا حالاها «گورش رو گم نمیکنه» فقط ممکنه در فرم‌های جدیدی evolve کنه. ⬇️

فرانسیس فوکویاما: افول آمریکا محصول مستقیم ظهور ترامپ از سال ۲۰۱۶ است. -گویی ترامپ تصمیم گرفته است تمام تلاش خود را برای تضعیف ایالات متحده در برابر چین انجام دهد. -او کشوری را که از قبل قطبی شده بود، قطبی کرده، بودجه تحقیقات علمی پایه را کاهش داده و به دانشگاه‌های آمریکایی که بهترین دانشگاه‌های جهان هستند، حمله کرده است. -او و همکارانش آشکارا اعلام کرده‌اند که مخالفان داخلی آنها - دموکرات‌ها - تهدیدی بسیار بزرگتر از چین یا روسیه برای آینده ایالات متحده هستند. -در میان دوستان و رقبای آمریکا این توافق وجود دارد که ایالات متحده به نوعی به یک کشور سرکش تبدیل شده است که به بی‌ثباتی و بی‌نظمی جهانی دامن می‌زند و همچنین به چیزی شبیه به یک مضحکه تبدیل شده است.
