Oswald Spengler was an early 20<sup>th</sup> century German historian and philosopher who wrote [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Decline_of_the_West ''The Decline of the West''] (published 1917) which influenced many intelligentsia for a few decades, got some popular attention, then faded. It was a joke when I was a young man, the notion that it had ever influenced anyone serious. I think Joe took up the joke for the title; Joe's show has nothing to do with Spengler's philosophy. - [[User:Arthur Peabody|Arthur Peabody]] ([[User talk:Arthur Peabody|talk]]) 01:42, 19 February 2021 | |||
