True. You can also have a sense of the enormity when you look at their wars and compare with medieval wars. A lot of wars between France and England for example had less people involved than a full Roman Legion

Marcus Aurelius was a loser who doomed the Roman Empire by naming his biological son as his successor rather than an adopted one of his choice. The man literally set off a chain of dominos which destroyed the Empire with that one action. Nobody should look up to this retard.

With the death of Marcus Aurelius in AD 180, rule of the empire passed to his 20 year old son, Lucius Aurelius Commodus. Much like the reign of Caligula a century and a half earlier, the accession of Commodus was initially met with general approval. Continuing the parallel, initial acceptance was eventually met with dismay and hostility as the young emperor engaged in various forms of debauchery and egomaniacal behavior.

The concept of imperial decline beginning with the reign of Commodus is largely adapted from Edward Gibbon's rather arbitrary work, "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" and may have been a bit premature considering that the western empire endured for another three centuries.

However, Gibbon's assessment is astute in pointing out several elements that clearly identify a change from previous eras.

The accession of Commodus as the son of Marcus Aurelius marked the re-establishment of dynasty that was originally developed under the Julio-Claudians.

While the remaining years of the empire - especially the tumultuous 3rd century AD - would hardly be characterized by uninterrupted dynastic rule (in large part because of assassination and civil war), Commodus' reign marks the end of the adoptive period that provided immeasurable political stability since the death of Domitian.

Never again would Rome benefit from rulers who had the foresight to understand the stability provided by selective succession, and rather allowed personal and dynastic ambitions to play their role in the empire's eventual collapse.

Roman Empire was great among others because of the selective succession. If I know the guy who’s in charge is an honorable, wise autist then I want him to pick his successor to limit the chance he’ll pick a psychotrannyjew

All books like that do are create a bunch of frothing psychopaths who think if they wish it hard enough it will come true. If it doesn’t come true, then they aren’t wishing hard enough which makes them even more obnoxious. It basically turns people into some combination of poor Gordon Gekko, Pentecostal church member, Walmart stomp clapper, and recovering addict.

Ignorant people interpret it that way. It’s not so much about “law of attraction” but more so about creating a frequency you want to resonate on. Wealth accumulation is often about making the right connections and networking; and let’s face the truth, if you’re not a magnetic person that permeates positivity, charisma and a “can do” demeanor , most people won’t entrust you with their time or money.
