>>507845620 (OP)Europe is like the grain reserves of civilization. When the rest of the world delves into degeneracy or catastrophe, the sailor spirit awakens to re-emerge civility from the deluge. The wordplay is intentional. Oannes was the celtiberian equivalent to Nerthuz or Fosite/Poseidon. Neptune is the Egypto-Luwian aka mediterranean mirror image of Nerthuz/Poseidon of the north sea/atlantic.
Europe has stopped its population increase in instinctual anticipation of the ridiculous increase in living standards and technology. The people who are able to breed at a higher age now will be the ones to birth the resuscitators of the fall to come. We live in the age of reflection,- of whether to live longer lives, whether we should have a royal class that lives longer than the rest and whether it's time to restrict the age and numbers at which we reproduce. Technology is outsourcing our instincts, and the population "decline" is simply a delayed breeding cycle.
