The End of the World Is Just the Beginning: Mapping the Collapse of Globalization by Peter Zeihan
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This book is heavily biased pro-america can do no wrong, and with massive blind spots ignoring even the possiblity of resource shortages in America.
The premise of the book is that the "World Order" created by America's Military Industrial Complex is the only thing that makes it possible for nations to be kind to one another. And than if USA leaves an area then the whole world will fall into ruin and disrepair as they will all tear each other to shreds and leave America alone.

The author is under the delusion that American oil supply is forever, and is completely unaware that American shale has pretty much dried up, and conventional passed peak decades ago. He was making projections saying things like "when they enter the workforce in the 2040's" the workforce? What workforce? What the f"ck is he talking about? Can he really be so utterly blind as to believe the current state of masn wage slavery will continue after the oil supply runs out? I donno, it just seems all rather ludicrous to me.

Anyways, this dude is some kind of pie in the sky dreamer super optimist.

I do admit it was a pretty well researched book for the parts it covered. Mostly just demographic collapse, difficult supply chain geography and some effects of climate change.

But he utterly ignored the energy crises, the soil crises, the resource shortages ad naseaum. Like his fantasy world has infinite resources -- othen than young people, so it's really rather worthless as a projection in the real world.

In does have some gems, but the amount of bias and blindness in this book is only worth archiving as an exomple of the extreme hubris that some Americans can fall prey to.
So I'm probably not gonna waste the paper.

ALWAYS DELETE OLD EMAILS!

Did You Know...???

In the USA, Emails Are “Abandoned” After 180 Days
There are many good arguments for cleaning up your email account, even if you’re not particularly concerned about email privacy. But if you are concerned about privacy, know this:
>Emails older than 180 days are considered “abandoned” by the US government. The government can (and has) looked at these emails without a warrant, thanks to the Electronic Communications Protection Act - a law passed in 1986 when electronic communications were very different.

As far as I've heard, this is fake news as they never even bothered to certify their movie in these countries

This is a last ditch effort to sell a terrible movie

Deranged leftist demands gratitude from the fathers of the babies she aborted. She takes credit for their future success by enabling it via baby killing.

This is the state of the far left. They want freedom to commit infanticide AND they want you to praise them for doing it.

Satan walks among us.

In perfect hell for grid managers, Global Warming causes coldest start to winter in South-East Australia since WWII
"If only carbon dioxide make winter nights warmer, Australians wouldn’t have been using up stockpiles of coal and gas in the last six weeks, and setting winter-time demand records. These geniuses got everything wrong."

@PhenomX6 @dave This is the perfect timing to buy more Monero.
Most people make the mistake to buy during the bull market, and sell during the bear market.
If your purpose is to make more fiat, you'll need to do the opposite of that.
If your purpose is to prepare for the future of finance, best is still to buy while cheap, and otherwise mine so you're ready to use once everyone stops accepting fiat, and starts accepting crypto instead.

Forget about CBDCs, they're already doomed to become a failure.
Governments will probably push it as hard as they can, and maybe people will actually use it at the beginning, but as soon as they realize the fundamental design problems with CBDCs (like how they're basically government vouchers, not money), nobody will give a fuck about CBDCs.

Fellas I've found the most indie, indie game.

Mascot plarformer nobody cares about, mascot that not even furries care about, $20 at gamestop and forgotten about, but somehow had a physical release while your favorite cult game didn't get one.

In case you were wondering why gas, diesel, and every thing else costs more, this.

I wonder what is most offgriders' plan for when their propane runs out?
