Archeologist and Anthropologist Ronald Wright has historical accounts of other empires that fell and offers some explanations as to why they fell and why we are failing.
see program notes
Ronald Wrights spoken word pieces are from two sources, show #38 from the Twilight of the False Gods series and then from the 1st lecture Mr. Wright made for the 2004 Massey Lectures Series entitled Gauguins Questions. As the audio used from show #38 utilized a lowering and stretching of the speakers voice I chose to apply a similar alteration to the rest of the pieces and also to the show that dovetails with this one Follies of Self which utilizes Alan Watts materials.
