    Well. As a Brit living in London who voted ‘out’ I have to say I disagree with your idea that we can not stand on our own two feet. I happen to think we can. In fact that’s half of what this is all about – us standing on our own two feet – as a trading nation – trading with the rest of the world not just Europe – and able to make our own trade agreements which right now we can’t do. So. Please. Have a little faith.

    Interesting to see this reply on zerohedge:

    Because Illargi missed the fucking point entirely.

    The caloric energy value of the oil did not change -the rate of emission of the unit of measure for accounting for it and the costs associated with the financialization of it did.

    The money/unit of accounting for the caloric/energy output of the oil was debased an confounded with derivatives.

    The ‘marginal value of debt’ and ‘inflation’ have nothing to do with calories/energy and everything to do with compounding usury and rents pyramiding.

    ENERGY IS THERMODYNAMICALLY DEFINABLE.

    CALORIES ARE CALORIES.

    ‘MONEY’ IS NOT.

    ‘MONEY’ WITHOUT A BASIS FOR MEASURE IS NOT DEFINABLE.

    IMHO: ‘SOUND MONEY’ = STATIC UNIT OF ACCOUNT RATIO TO DELIVERABLE CALORIC/ENERGY OUTPUT.

    NO ONE CAN COUNTERFEIT CALORIC OUTPUT.

    PERIOD.

    OK – so here’s what I am thinking. If you’re right – and there is no way this collapse is not going to happen – do you really think you will be safe in NZ? If the collapse is that bad – do you not think the mobs coming out of the cities will destroy everything in their wake?

    So you moved to Canada yes? And now you’ve moved to NZ. Yes? You think its safe there? Really? How many people live in NZ? 5m? OK so its a big place. So thats your hope? OK. Maybe you will be lucky. But 4.5m people is still a lot of people running through the countryside looking for food and shelter. Even in that amount of land. Are you well hidden? Do you think they won’t find you?

    You may be lucky.

    I hope we all find a way out of this. I am not that hopeful. Come the end I intend to have the ability to end my life before it gets too crazy. So long as you can face that moment (and its coming no matter how safe you think you are) – then I think you can live with some love and humour in your heart. I wish you well.

    Hi Nicole. I hope I am not too late for you to respond.

    What confuses me in all this – is where you get certain people like you saying one thing – and then I just read a blog from John Mauldin – who seems to have made a name for himself – say pretty much the complete opposite (https://www.mauldineconomics.com/frontlinethoughts/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=frontline)

    My instinct lies with you. But its so difficult to be so sure. And timescales seem to critical. Are we talking 10 years or 50? till things start to implode? I’m 55 that makes a big difference. Plus I am sitting on a property in London – probably not the best place to be if things go belly up. So what I believe has a massive impact on what I think I need to do (according to Maudlin nothing – according to you quite a bit).

    btw – are you speaking in the UK anytime soon?

    Any response would be great.
