rapier, corporations are 100pc into maintaining prices and values insofar as they can maintain values and prices. then they’re not. finance aside (and LG’s zero-point energy scenario), i’ll take the Senecan drop into Olduvai over the fiat float any day of the week.
“International corporations and their assets, and debt perhaps, are somehow going to become the worlds base store of value. Assuming that is that TAE’s and JH Kuntler’s word does not descend upon us.”
why wouldn’t that be the case in the neo-feudal doom-lite scenario?
and thanks for leaving the s out of that fool’s name.
“If there is a more appropriate section for this post, please point it out to me.”
how about the Money section of USA Today?

I have been reading my way through Stoneliegh’s list of reccommended books from the post on price waves and many of the links gatrnered from Ash’s posts. The content and data are very important to me and my learning curve.that was a projection of yours, gezelle – which is not to say it wasn’t a bit intimidating at first if one’s prone to overthinking, as i am. nice people here, with reasonable standards. 🙂
switch by bendyhere1, on Flickrhey used (TheTriv), finally got around to listening to some Gnostic Media podcasts. great stuff. the gene odening and john taylor gatto interviews on the importance of classical education as opposed to the Hall Of Mirrors that is our education system were fascinating 🙂

Tonite I made the monumentally wrong decision of explaining my new thoughts to my spouse on what may have happened on 9/11 and what side of the fence I was on. My new thoughts were not received very well.
that made me laugh. good for you, joe. had to be done. i believe it’s best to be honest about important stuff. silence is a virtue, of fools.
maybe it’ll help if she realizes that yours is not a marginal view.
now you’re official you have the right to play guns and butter podcasts in the kitchen while you’re doing the dishes.

Actually, I was aiming for the opposite in some ways. OTOH, I wouldn’t necessarily compare modern tribes, who constantly face the threat of environmental destruction and systematic genocide, to those roaming around 30,000 years ago.
It’s also hard to make a one-for-one comparison between us and them in terms of “leisure time”. There are disputes over what the average life expectancy was back then, but most agree that it was significantly lower than the average person in the developed world now. And can we really know what level of awareness and effort was required of them even when they were not strictly performing activities that were required to make it through the day/week?
One thing is for sure – many people will have to find ways of adapting to and being satisfied with much more simplified societies, and “primitive” cultures do have a big leg up in that sense.
yeah, HG people had to sleep with one eye open — :blink: (:lol:) — but really because they were so understimulated. not only must we lower that lid now we fall asleep to television but we now require eye masks and ear plugs. and we crash our carz in the morning before the ambien wears off. and half of us live longer on less than $2/day.
good idea for a piece, ash. must admit it would’ve been nice to see those paintings in 3D at the movies.

Listen, I would like to mention a certain elephant in the room about which I’ve tried to comment before but Blogger previously stuffed the issue every time. Of course the second the comment should take, probably a shotgun blast of denials will rip forth too… As delicately as I can put this, recently I have noticed this among my friends of that other tribe who share the previous half of THE BOOK: they are growing nervous.
Flipping out here and there, post-OWSer movement. Why? Because things are starting to rhyme with what took place in Europe almost a century ago. The banks passing bad paper, the proverbial tribe getting scapegoated for the sins of certain families high up the economic food chain, and… then…
I just want to say to everyone who dishes on those of the book – and I’m not defending the behavior of the thumper-class – realize that controversy about the book will also come back to bite the proverbial tribe. Sooner or later it is going to bust loose…
Just saying.

corruption is the system. there will always be money. right steveB? :sick: and money conversions/reversions. isn’t money just proxy debt? the state will credit people things they have commandeered via deflation, legislation, coup, or other twickewy: protection, food, clothing, and shelter, so long as they can provide, directly or indirectly, a surplus in return. jimmy the kneecapper don’t need no reason just an excuse. jimmy being vinny’s surviving brother.

move em out into the yard. and then construct another, bigger yard. if it is done right the vast majority of debt slaves won’t need to be in maximum security or even mimimum security as it exists today.
why not make it a drive-thru roach motel?

perhaps it would begin to help us Blogger refugees with continuing PTSD if there was just one topic within the Open Comments Section called Open Comments. we could also have the page delimited so that we can have 200 comments to scroll freely amongst. we could also give Open Comments a tab with the other section tabs on the front page banner. for promotional purposes it could also be anchored at the top of the Recent Topics list. we could also have somebody funny designated to summarize the comments.
selco posted those circulating videos from Homs and commented briefly on the mayhem.

it must be said that that street rally was bumping

now that the walls are going up i expect that Homs is irrevocably divided. well done, NATO.
when that dead american journalist with the eye patch got valorized all over the place in big font as a Western journalist i was once again reminded of the degree of unconscious racism in our society. in anti-racist philosophy it is held that in a racist milieu one can only eradicate unconscious racism by means of a sufficiently multiracial existence otherwise when push comes to shove your body will betray you. i grew up with a multiracial existence and do not like the idea that racism may be unconsciously creeping back in despite, or because of, myself, due to my largely segregated current circumstances. realist that i like to think i am, sometimes i can’t help but regard it as a bit unseemly for white doomers to publicly put ethnic homogeneity on their list of prerequisites for hard times, as if cultural crossovers wouldn’t be better adapted.
I agree with TAE Summary. having just a single comment thread is of paramount importance IMO. fragmentation bad, claustrophobic family spats good. technically, navigating between several threads, particularly on a phone, doesn’t compare to just refreshing the page. the thread doesn’t even need to be attached to the feature articles and commentary; those could just be announced with a comment in the unified comment section, and the thread rolled over every, say, 200 comments. lifeboat comments could be copied by the author to the main thread as a courtesy, or summarized if they are too long.
thanks for all the hard work 🙂
