couldnt agree more, was riding high for clinton then it all went straight down hill

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.

Yeah ecosystems falling apart though, thats not so easy to recover from as if it was an economic crash

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.

This is completely, over the top absurd.

I've heard the argument that humanity peaked the moment we started farming. That is, the moment we started being civilized. Our whole worldview is twisted. We pass it on from generation to generation.

I could pick any random topic to start spewing about and you'd all think (or know) I was crazy. Here, watch this Michael Tsarion talk instead. If you take notes you'll have a reading list for the next decade.

This is my concern. If you have half a brain and love for yourself and for posterity, you are concerned about food and water.

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
