I talk to old people about these sorts of things and conversations about impending doom, the steady decline of our civilization, and things of that nature, happen with every generation -- we are just in a repeating cycle of history.

These cycles repeat strongly because of the nature of our economic extremes -- which then fall to pieces.

Just like people investing in gold. Do you really beleive the price of gold is going to go up forever? Something that seems to appreciates forever: Guns.

There's a finite amount of physical gold/silver in the world (always buy physical).

However, they can print bank notes until they're next to worthless due to their abundance.

the generation in decline is clinging pretty dang hard to what they have left. that's what's messed up right now.

Statistically speaking, we've actually been improving from previous generations.

Shit peaked in the 40s-50's collapse takes longer than many would think

BigHurb 03-05-2014 03:14 PM

its not "downhill" so much as really hitting that exponential slope... exponential growth fucks with humans minds we're like, ok, no problem WHOA OVERCROWDED WHY DIDNT SOMEONE WARN US OH WAIT
