gloom

The Olympics felt more washed this year

Like a grand tradition that doesn’t quite live up to its past years’ glory

Thinking it might be correlated with the general breakdown of the current world order, and may be yet another signal of a rearrangement to come

Is it just me, or anyone else feel this vibe?

Olympics glory peaked in 2004. some would argue that so did our civ. 

it's a corrupt, inhumane organization that has penetrated the psychee of every human being as the unquestionable authority over all of sports. 

I don't watch it out of principle.

Yeah Strauss’ theory says 4th turning started in 2008

Presumably the Olympics started out trying to do good for sport, but it’s gotten corrupted over time because the system got stale

Hence its time for a reset

generally agree but most things were always shit about this organization. it's the 'greatest' sport event and the athletes don't get paid while everyone else makes bank. imagine if that was the state of things with NFL, NBA or any soccer league.

Did it start out that way?

Also sounds like ncaa lol

What hopefully started out as avoiding commercialization to preserve neutrality, ended up as corruption

it started with no one making money. when the money came in it never went to the athletes.
