On November 30, 2023, a legendary boss in the investment worldMungerand his "good friend" Kissinger passed away one after another, bringing huge losses to the United States. These two elites, who are in their nineties, represent the United StatesA symbol of the times, but with their passing, an era is coming to an end. Their departure sent three signals, the first of allThe end of the era. MungerAnd Kissinger's longevity shows the rapid aging and death of iconic American figures, which also means that the last bit of rational and pragmatic voice in the United States is disappearingThe era may be coming to an end. Mungerand Kissinger are just some of the many iconic figures of the age, such as former Carter and financial tycoon Soros, whose deaths underscore the aging trend of America's elite. This phenomenon is not accidental, it shows the United StatesThe times are declining.
Extensions: ExceptMungerand Kissinger, who still has many other iconic figures in their mid-nineties. Carter has entered the stage of hospice care, and Buffett, Soros and others have also entered the age of 90. This is not only a phenomenon of increasing individual life expectancy, but also a reflection of the gradual aging and death of the entire American elite. This trend is for a once proud oneThe era is a great challenge and may mark the end of an era.
ExceptIn addition to the end of the era, the United States is also facing a dilemma of having no successor. Although birth, old age, sickness and death are the norm in human society, the United States is faced with the problem of spitting out the old but not accepting the new. Kissinger andMungerThe deaths of Cold War elites have exposed the lack of a new generation of leaders in American politics and business. Incumbent**Trumpand the former ** Biden are both over seventy years old, which is a relatively young candidate. By contrast, 100-year-old Kissinger is still busy creating a détente for U.S.-China relations, and he's not just ours"Old friends"He is also one of the few figures in the West who understands Chinese culture. Soros and Warren Buffett in the business world have also contributed greatly to the rise of the United States in the world economy, but they are also old. While their descendants may continue to do similar work, the leadership of the U.S.** and the business community will face new challenges. She is currently Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Chairman of the Federal ReservePowelland others may not be able to match their parents' abilities.
Expansion: In addition to politics and business, other sectors are also facing the problem of aging leadership. A similar situation exists in the fields of scientists, academics, artists, etc. This problem is not only confined to the United States, but also to the entire Western society. In pursuit of longevity and quality of life, we must also recognize the importance of nurturing and developing the next generation. It can be said that the future development of a country depends on the abilities and potential of the younger generation. Therefore, the United States needs to take proactive steps to develop new leaders who are fully prepared to meet the challenges of the future.
MungerAnd Kissinger's death is not only about American leadership, but more importantly, it means the end of an era. An era tends to produce some outstanding figures, and it is worth pondering whether the West will be able to cultivate elites like Soros and Kissinger again in the new era. The end of this era is not only reflected in the United States, but also in the changing world. The wave of de-dollarization is intensifying around the world, the Russia-Ukraine war is becoming clearer, and Iran and Saudi Arabia have also achieved reconciliation with the mediation of the East. Israel asMiddle EastThe hegemon of Hamas also suffered heavy losses under the drone attack, and the Ming family was sweptMiddle EastThe demon has finally been caught. This shows that the West no longer has the sole right to speak, and the United States needs to be psychologically prepared to accept the arrival of a new era without Kissinger, Soros and Warren Buffett.
Expansion: The world is undergoing drastic changes, forces are being reshuffled, and the trend towards multipolarity is becoming increasingly apparent. Historical hegemons will not stand forever, they will rise and fall one after another. In the same way, the United States needs to recognize its limitations and accept a new era. As Kissinger said, China pursues comparative superiority and never gives up. The American generation has already done enough for the country, they are gradually leaving, and it is time to rest. It's time to start a new era, not a joke, but the course of history.
MungerAnd Kissinger's death is the United StatesA sign of the end of an era. Their death not only signifies the end of an era, but also sends three important signals. First of all, AmericanThe era may be coming to an end. The rapid aging and death of iconic figures show the plight of America's elite. Second, the United States faces the problem of no successor, and the lack of a new generation of leaders in politics and business. This poses a huge test for the future of the United States. Finally,MungerAnd Kissinger's death is not only about the United States, but also a reflection of the changing world. A new era is coming, and the West needs to be mentally prepared to accept the reality of a reshuffling of power. In the midst of the changes of this era, the United States needs to develop new leaders who can adapt to changes on a global scale. Only in this way can the United States remain competitive and continue to develop and prosper in the new era.
