MAGA: No Nation Has Ever Returned From The Economic Crisis U.S. Currently In
Perfect follow to Tom’s Pepe le Pew post below.. Here this MAGA gold seller douchebag went to the same Art degree school as Escobar and is predicting the same debt doomsday apocalypse….
CACOR: The Big Picture: Beyond Hope and Fear - Michael Dowd https://youtu.be/hV91pH8HORo
I consider this 52-minute presentation delivered via Zoom on May 3, 2023 to the Canadian Association for the Club of Rome (CACOR) to be my most important and emotionally supportive video to-date. DESCRIPTION: No one needs convincing that we are living in an age of chaos and breakdowns. Even those without benefit of an ecological understanding of history feel the stress. How do we cope? How can we escape the seesaw of hope and fear? And, crucially, how can we be of support to others who are confused, angry, depressed, or filled with fear, blame, or guilt?
Things are so bad and gold is going to be so valuable... Oh what luck, I just happen to sell gold... but if gold is gonna be so valuable, why would you sell any of it instead of just keeping it?
There's no doomsday. The collapse of civilization takes decades to centuries. It's not something people should worry about, given our lifespan.
People are invested in the myth of progress, but when that changes, they become invested in the reality of decline. If your children are worse off than you are, that becomes normalized. No one will be upset or alienated by it. It will be perceived as the way things are.
We'll go from believing in a bright future involving Star Trek, to living in a future where technology remains the same. Our consumption of fossil fuels has led us to believe in a science fiction future. This includes bright 'green energy' lies.
His making of a living from it should ease any feelings of alienation.
ReplyDeleteHere is a doomsayer who is not alienated:

Sounds alienated to me…
ReplyDelete“ are confused, angry, depressed, or filled with fear, blame, or guilt?”
Sheesh..,

ReplyDeleteWatch the video Matt.
ReplyDeleteI have heard this doomsday crap for all of my 76 years. It is complete nonsense.

ReplyDelete100% paradox
Paradox 100% Art Degree…
“Stability creates instability”
You don’t have Art degree …
Knock it the F off
“ fossil fuels”
ReplyDelete100% Darwin on steroids…
Darwin had Art degree,…
Knock it off
What is paradoxical about the rise and fall of civilizations?
ReplyDeleteThey're not eternal.
What is millions of years in the making, is a fossil.
Bury it, crush it, and under the right conditions, it becomes flammable.
