Re: Peter Zeihan again: and also other thinkers:

I suppose this could be Elon Musk, it certainly sounds like that person.  But I suppose it could be "Ani" or someone else.
Whoever it is has interesting things to say.

Worth a listen, in my opinion.

Is it possible that the root of political science claims is to produce white collar jobs for people who paid for an education and do not want a real job?

Re: Peter Zeihan again: and also other thinkers:

I think a possible danger of the future will be expanded permissions.

How people will deal with expanded permissions, and dealing with dealing with excessive permissions.

A great problem is that now, I think that with wealth, children are imprinted on the wrong sort of subject for imprinted as per "X".  They are regarded as having no such thing as "X", when in reality even babies have safer versions of that that they imprint on.  I put myself in significant danger even mentioning it.

But the poor imprinting in my opinion is part of the problem of adults who do not successfully reproduce.

And a lack of reproduction will lead to a dying society.

I believe that many of the elites even understand that and trick the masses to embrace failure, as they have contempt for humans in general.  We are not worthy.

And so, they can do these things from the shadows, while seeming to be incredibly moral.

That is one danger that expanded permissions of material goods can do.

Another is to not be regulated by needed social factors to conform to a successful pattern.  In this coming age of abundance or social collapse.  Internal self-regulation is going to be important, as you can more ealily damage yourself, as you feel no pain in doing unwise things.

I don't know where else to put this.  Imagine if we ever meet Dinasaur Aliens:  https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/r … &FORM=VIRE  Quote:

I think it is actually true.

That little brain does a lot.  Imagine if a Dinasaur Alien had a brain our size?

I guess we inherited because of that Asteroid.

Re: Peter Zeihan again: and also other thinkers:

It is needed for the reader to understand that I had a Scottish Canadian Grandparent, and a Yankee American Grandmother who was largely English with a bit of Scottish and French Huguenot.   I also had two Swedish Grandparents.

It is not my practice to hate the British, as they are in my ancestry and have not personally harmed me as I recall.

But I like this video, and hope that the British can also get a better situation for themselves.

Promethean Updates

I think we have had 4 American revolutions though.  WWII was the third, I feel, but we got entangled in the worlds degeneracy in that as well.

I see the democratic party as simply the Confederacy again, and their very valued urban hell holes are the plantations reimagined again.  Remember that not all slave owners were WASPS, in fact most WASPS were not slave owners.

A very great number of slave owners were in Africa itself and were themselves Africans of some sort.  They captured and sold both Africans and Europeans into slavery.

Re: Peter Zeihan again: and also other thinkers:

Void, the woman that runs the Promethean updates is a conspiracy nut.  The British empire was disbanded from 1947 onwards and is now no more than a smattering of islands and marginal territories in addition to the British Isles themselves.  The people running the UK are halfwits, whose arrogance is outweighed only by their incompetance.  They cannot even run a mid-sized domestic economy successfully and are powerless in preventing their country from being invaded by unarmed Islamic men.  Yet, we are to believe that these obviously limited people are in fact running a shadowy underground empire and are secretly controlling the world?  The idea is laughable to anyone that knows them.  If that really were their intent, then they have made a really crappy job of it.

Re: Peter Zeihan again: and also other thinkers:

Thanks for your comments Calliban.  Just because I watch something does not mean that I entirely agree, or dissagree with it.

I think that feel that the Global Banking System is the inheritor of the British Empire.

Promethean seems to be anti solar and anti wind.  I am not so much that except in a case where it may cause a problem.

They feel comfortable with burning lots of coal as they feel that China is going to win the AI competition by having more electric power by burning coal.  They minimize the concern for CO2.  I remain neutral, as long as I feel we will be able to remove CO2 from the atmosphere if it turns out it has to be done.

I looking at this organizations presentations and that of others such as P. Zeihan or George Friedman, just because I look does not indicate that I accept strongly every things they say.

Thanks,

Re: Peter Zeihan again: and also other thinkers:

I have watched only the one video listed from this site: https://www.youtube.com/@MDVL_mindset

So, don't assume that other videos are equal to my ideas of whatever.

But this one I watched: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeePF0w … valMindset

Why Europe Was BETTER After Rome Fell

I recall I was told in public school that indeed Europeans were so unworthy and only the Arabs were brilliant.

I have been a creature that haunted libraries, and then of course later, haunted the internet.

Things I already knew that are in this video, are:
-The "Irish", or their similar, sailed in skin boats deep in to the north sea.
-The Vikings later did Viking stuff to those monks in Iceland.
-Columbus spent time in Iceland before his famous voyages.

Did you know Christopher Columbus stayed in Iceland for an entire winter? In 1477, he sailed to Iceland and stayed at the farm called Ingjaldshóll (Ingjaldshvóll).

There are various reasons why the Viking wave did not go too far into North America.  I recall a story that the natives "Skraeling's" had some sort of spear throwers, which gave them a technologically superior position.  However, when the
Europeans returned in about 500 years those people were not to be found, nor their weapons.  The Vikings were never that many people in Iceland and Greenland, and even Greenland had an acceptable climate at about 1000 AD.  Then of course the Mini Ice age helped wipe out the Greenlanders and almost finished the Icelanders.

I was also aware that Vikings were guards in Byzantium, and that Vikings went down to Bagdad to get silver.

An item of importance in the video that I did not know was that at some point, the plough was improved along with horse harnesses, allowing agriculture to expand in the North.

My own theory is that that Alpha Bed Hoppers are the downfall of civilizations.  That is, when the Chads and the Tyrones are allowed to play Coocoo bird with other men's women, then the skills disappear and so then also the wealth.

In the north, that could not happen as you had to have better skills to be powerful than to impregnate a peasants woman.  But if farming was enhanced, then there could be peasants for the Chads and Tyrones to impregnate.  So, a bloom of wealth, may be destined to be ended in poverty.

The resurgence of fossil fuels in the USA at least has balanced out the mischief money that was accumulated in the M.E.

The effort to de-industrialize the west, which was very likely promoted in the shadows by the Chads and Tyrones of Fascism, Communism, Socialism, and the M.E. oil money , is being resisted thankfully.

I was interrupted by a visitor during this post and have sort of lost the thread of thought, so I will end it here.
