A proposito di questo titolo

Yo, imagine if your greatest win was actually the reason you lose everything. That’s the 'Openness Trap.' I’m Leo Wang, and we’re talking about Johan Norberg’s book 'Peak Human.' It dropped right when the US moved on Venezuela in 2026, and the timing is wild. Basically, every Golden Age in history—Athens, Baghdad, even the Dutch Republic—thrived because they were 'Open.' They traded ideas, people, and goods without fear. But here’s the kicker: once a society gets rich, it gets scared. Elites start building walls, literally and metaphorically. They trade 'Open Minds' for rigid rules and 'Open Exchange' for protectionism. Norberg calls this 'The Great Closing.' Look at Song China—they almost had an Industrial Revolution 700 years early, but the state got scared of change and shut it down. Now, look at us. Between cancel culture, trade wars, and digital borders, the Anglosphere is showing all the classic signs of a civilization about to go bust. We’re at 'Peak Human,' but the only way to stay there is to keep being risky and open, even when it’s uncomfortable. If we retreat into our shells, we’re just the next Rome or the next Venezuela. The 'Great Closing' isn't inevitable; it’s a choice we're making right now. Want to know more?
