Age of Illusions and World Government Ideas
Louis Bromfield argues the century will view the era as the Age of Illusions. He critiques Wilson's self-determination, the League of Nations, socialism, Keynesian deficits, the United Nations, and attempts to uplift others through external industrial aid, warning these efforts foster inflation, tyranny, and collapse. He cites Russia and U.S. policy as examples and urges benevolent guidance over coercive aid.

Earthquakes settle into one great shake per year study says
A Caltech seismology study led by Hugo Benioff analyzes 38 great quakes since 1904 and finds a roughly annual global quake rate with active and quiet periods. The work suggests a global stress system and notes current activity may reflect a new phase releasing strain as it forms.

The findings undermine the common claim that only 20 percent were for service related conditions and highlight broader hospitalization costs in private facilities and pensioners.
