    I remember when I was first struck by what was going wrong. It was in the early 80’s. Long enough for the false promises of the sixties and seventies to become presumptions, long enough for people to intuit something wasn’t right, but not long enough for them to be falsified. … It’s early summer. A woman was pushing a stroller across the street on Farmington avenue. I don’t know why but I understood from her body language something wasn’t right. And then I started seeing it everywhere. That nagging feeling that we should be happy but we aren’t.

    I am a student of history revolution and war and it is very very likely it will happen. The question is whether I can prepare enough people for it when it happens deterministically.

    I’ve generally been right over time. I’ll be right this time too.

    Notes…

    Jim “Biggest financial collapse since the fourteenth century… the data lags… we won’t know until july … but it’s a depression” (I dunno)”We’ve been in a depression since ’07.” (Agreed) “Because keynes’ definition is a sustained period of below trend growth with no tendency to collapse or return to growth.” (agreed) “20-30% declines”…. no models are useful… we’ve never seen anything like it. It’s outside living memory … we’ve never recovered from the crash of 08. And now we’re in a huge crisis.”

    Pippa “the economy … a bit like humans getting covid … the disease isn’t what kills you it’s the immune system attacking itself. …. so biz will kill their biz before it kills the owner … there won’t be an average for anyone. everyone will be touched by it differently and personally. those that are in the massively more efficient economy may be in better shape, but those that are no longer needed will be (screwed). now that I work outside the office, I se it works, so why do we have all this overhead. but with less fat (overhead) to maintain the physical plant. It’s not enough to have a skill set. Policy makers were on the back foot and slow to respond and they’re doing the same with the economy. … they think you can put the economy in snooze mode. That’s not how it works ’cause of cash flow. If you don’t, then people and biz won’t make it – like 60% of people in industrialized countries depends on next month’s paycheck, and 30% depend on next week’s paycheck. …. second is throwing money at it … but the mechanism … was thru the tax office or bank loans. So there is no government mechanism. … how bad is it going to be increases rapidly with every two weeks that pass.

    UK: no mortgage, no rent, no tax, for three months. USA hasn’t done this, which is what they should have done.

    … The human psychology question is open…. what did people do with all that damage to the world economy? They said, I just wanna live, and we had the roaring twenties. And it’s possible that this next would be like it. But at that point 60% of people were in poverty, which gave rise to the 30’s….

    Actually, the politicians prolong the slowdown if the market can clear out the broken assets…. how quickly can we clear it..

    ( CD: that’s the right answer. The answer is to spend on re-domestication of industry and automation of it – and infrastructure and public works administration style commons production. )

    … etc…

    Wait. So (a) you want a guarantee of the outcome of a war? (b) the cost of war isn’t worth your civilization? (c) You don’t have any other solution or plan but surrender, defeat, conquest, and extermination of your people?

    You’re a coward. We are men. We are not. I understand.

    I pull from your face, your rhetoric and your mind, the veil of ignorance, error, bias, and wishful thinking – that there is any solution possible other than the same revolution each of our ancestors has used to restore freedom, liberty, and sovereignty – and their fruits.

  • SCHMACHTENBERGER —“Curt I do agree you and Daniel Schmachtenberger are coming

    SCHMACHTENBERGER

    —“Curt I do agree you and Daniel Schmachtenberger are coming at things from different angles but I think if you two sat down for a weekend you would see existential gains for both of your goals, he’s the yin to your yang and an absolute genius. Also the number of unwitting Red Pills Weinstein drops is an added bonus.”— George from Youtube.

    I don’t disagree with Daniel Schmachtenberger on much of anything. Just the opposite. He uses more of the inspirational new age west coast language, and I use prosecutorial scientific economic and legal language. He’s a great example of the via positiva just as I am of the via-negativa.

    I re-recorded podcast #0002 as Episode #0005 and removed his name from it, and added more on math and physics.

    But my criticism in the podcast stands. Every (((leftist))) intellectual whines and complains and undermines because they are cognitively female, and demonstrate female cognition with undermining seeking, GSRRM, Magical Thinking, lack of creativity in solution provision, demand for consensus building and monopoly authority as a substitute for system-thinking and incentives, and demanding ‘real men do something’, as if they would do a better job when in charge when exactly the opposite happens when they are in charge – which is why the Jewish and Muslim leaderships always fail to crate stable high trust societies no matter what they do, and produce decline and collapse wherever they go.

    If you can’t write a body of policy changes, a project plan, contracts, shareholder agreements, a body of law, and a constitution to make a society function you’re just talking smack – because that is the hierarchy of algorithms that produce not a simulation but the operating system of the real world that we live in.

    You must program a computer via positiva, because it cannot imagine, or predict, and so cannot choose without those instructions. But you must program humanity via negativa because it can imagine, predict, and choose – which is why humans can adapt and computers can’t.

    And while both a computer and a human are amoral, the computer cannot choose between morality and immorality. The human can. And the purpose of our manners, ethics morals, norms, traditions, institutions and laws is to rase the cost of the immoral choices so that only moral choices remain.

    But we all test that limit at every opportunity.
