AfterLOS notes October 9, 2014:
Different way to view the Fall of the Roman Empire:
First Dynamic = Individual = threatened and in self-destruct mode done
2nd Dynamic = Family Unity = hammered and on the road to extinction done
3rd Dynamic = Group or country = hugely divided done
4th Dynamic = Mankind = threatened back then, but pales in comparison to NOW = Mankind could be taken out easily done x 10 to power of 10
