Judgment: The Purpose of The Postmodern Revolution
The purpose of the postmodern revolution was to relieve the infantilized mind of the pressures of competition in modernity when freed of the excuse that they were just poor. Unfortunately, the poor were poor deservedly, and the postmodern underclasses are still underclasses that can just spend money because their betters have made all consumer goods and services infinitely cheaper.

We’re both working from the same data. That they aren’t a state threat is true.
We’re both working from the same data. That they aren’t a state threat is true. That it would be possible to contain them if they were a threat is not. That the government would survive in the current world climate under exercise of force is questionable. Outcome is a coin toss.

Demographics Are Everything
Nov 22, 2019, 2:34 PM OK. So. Dammit. I was right that china would last until 2010. I just had no idea they could hang on this long. So. I did get the demographics right. (think-tank reports this month). So my one big prediction was still right on timing wrong on how much they could hold out. (i still don’t know how they do it). So from 2004 onward I’ve been spot on. Really need for us to “Go” this year, or next. But we’ll see. DEMOGRAPHICS ARE EVERYTHING
