November 30, 2023, is a not-so-lucky day for the United States. On this day, the United States lost two important figures: Munger, a 99-year-old legendary tycoon in the investment world, and Kissinger, a 100-year-old "good friend". Each of them plays a very important role in their own industries, and their death is a great loss for the United States, especially Kissinger's death means that the whole world has lost the last shred of rational and pragmatic voice, which is a huge test for the future of the United States.
Munger is a legend in the investment world, and his death represents the end of an era. He lived to be 99 years old, and after him, there are many iconic figures of his age, such as the former American ** Carter has entered the hospice stage, the financial predator Soros is also 92 years old, and Buffett is 93 years old. None of this is a coincidence, which shows that America's iconic figures are aging and dying fast, which also heralds the end of the American era.
Another signal is that there is no successor in the United States. At present, the problem of brain drain in the political and business circles of the United States is very serious, and the young generation of talented people has not been effectively cultivated and developed, resulting in a lack of successors. Trumpand Biden are already quite old, the 100-year-old Kissinger is still busy creating a détente for the game between the United States and China, and Soros and Warren Buffett in the business world are also old. The future of the United States in politics andEconomyThe field may face great challenges and difficulties, and their successors may not be as good as their predecessors.
The last signal is the end of an era. The deaths of Kissinger and Munger not only show that there are no outstanding successors in American politics and business, but more importantly, reveal the end of an era. An era has produced many outstanding figures, can the West still produce talents like Soros and Kissinger?This question is also a question for the West. The current world is in the midst of drastic changes, especially since 2023, de-dollarizationWavesIt has already been stated that the United States is gradually losing its qualification to lead the world. In the same way, the development of events shows that the West is no longer the decider of the whole world, and the world is moving in a new direction.
The deaths of Munger and Kissinger sent a signal that the era of the United States was coming to an end. They are already quite old, 99 and 100 years old for a higher than average life expectancy now, which means that over time, iconic figures of the United States are gradually passing away, and these people once represented the United StatesEra.
In contrast, there are some people of a similar age who are also in their twilight years, such as Carter and Warren Buffett. This phenomenon is not accidental, and it reflects the aging of America's iconic figures, which directly implies that the United StatesThe era is coming to an end.
It is important to note that this change is not just a personal problem, but an institutional challenge. This means that the United States needs new leadership and talent to continue to lead the country's development, however, in the current situation, the cultivation and emergence of successors is not optimistic. This further exacerbates the harbinger of the imminent end of the era of the United States.
The loss of Munger and Kissinger was a severe blow to American politics and business. This is not only because they are outstanding leaders, but more importantly, because they represent a style of doing things and values that will not be sustained.
In politics,TrumpAnd Biden may be relatively young as the new ** candidate, but they are also over seventy years old. In contrast, Kissinger's advanced age raises concerns about the lack of young and promising talent in American politics. In addition, Soros and Warren Buffett in the business world are also very old, and they have performed well in financial turmoil and crises for the United StatesEconomyhas made a great contribution to the stability and development of the country. However, the aging of these luminaries is a cause for concern, which also means that the plight of the United States without a successor may be even more dire.
This problem is not just at the individual level, but more importantly there is a problem with the management of talent and leadership in the country as a whole. It will be difficult for the United States to produce new leaders to support the future development of the country, which is important for a global worldEconomyAnd the political leader of the country is a serious test.
The deaths of Munger and Kissinger not only mean that the United States faces a vacancy in the political and business spheres, but more importantly it marks the end of an era.
This is an era made up of these remarkable personalities who played an important role in leading the United States to become the world's hegemon. However, with the passage of time and the change of the situation, whether it will still be able to cultivate the likes of Soros and Kissinger in the 21st century is also a big question for the West.
The current global situation is changing dramatically, especially since 2023, with de-dollarizationWavesThe rise of the United States has already hinted that the United States is gradually losing its position as world leader. At the same time, we have also witnessed the occurrence of many black swan events, the situation in Ukraine with the support of Europe and the United States has gradually become clear, Iran and Saudi Arabia have carried out substantial reconciliation under the mediation of the East, Israel has been attacked by Hamas drones, and the Ming family in northern Myanmar**. These facts show that the West is no longer the decision-maker of the world, and that the world is moving in a new direction.
The United States must be mentally prepared to accept a new era without figures like Kissinger, Soros and Warren Buffett. This is not a joke, but an objective reality in the course of history. As Kissinger writes in his book On China, China pursues comparative superiority and has a tenacious spirit. The American generation has given enough for their country, they are drifting away, and the hustle and bustle of the world is fading, and it's time to start a new era. This new era is bound to no longer be subject to the WestThe times are a future full of uncertainties, opportunities and challenges.
