She explains that the pyramid form appears across a wide range of cultures and eras, often developing independently in societies with no contact.

2022 a marqué une rupture générationnelle d'une ampleur insoupçonnée. Elle clôt un cycle de trente ans, ouvert en 1989 avec la chute du Mur de Berlin. Deux évènements majeurs sont à l'origine de cette cassure : la guerre menée par la Russie en Ukraine, qui n'est en réalité qu'une variante du conflit sino-américain et marque le début d'une seconde guerre froide au détriment de l'Europe ; et l'entrée de la Chine dans un nouveau modèle politique et économique à l'issue du XXe Congrès du Parti communiste chinois.
