Transcript
A threads post saying "There has never been another nation ever that has existed much beyond 250 years. Not a single one. America's 250th year is 2025. The next 4 years are gonna be pretty interesting considering everything that's already been said." It has a reply saying "My local pub is older than your country".

I think things have definitely changed since 1964.
When do you draw the line then? If 2500 and 250 years ago is too far back for theory and philosophy to apply, when does it?
