.338 Win Mag and successfully harvested many many moose over the years. They have given us life with their death. I don’t recall the total trauma but it gives us life but it is not an option for the full population. Death is coming sorry to say.
@ V. Arnold,
I need to go to bed. I don’t understand politics much or even financial much but my goal tomorrow is to shoot a moose.Death is a risk of simply being alive.
So I have been reflecting on the comments to my posts on The Automatic Earth Debt Rattle September 10, 2020.
Regarding COVID-19:
First everyone must grasp the concept that as human beings every one of us will eventually die. As a retired Registered Nurse it seems to me the general population does not have a deep comprehension of this fact. Work as a nurse long enough and one learns death is very real and one learns death is not to be feared and sometimes needs to be deeply embraced as a release from life which is seeking completion. One also comes to the realization in the variable finite amount of time one exists perhaps embracing that life is more important than anything else you could do. That being said as I stated in my previous comment the world is currently living a lie regarding COVID-19 which believes lockdowns are the best approach. Canada is locked down and the percentage of the Canadian population that has died is 0.0243 %. Even if one has objections to death being used as the guiding metric because simply being a case could inflict that case with other health issues or disability let’s recompute using the number of COVID-19 cases:
Canada Cumulative number of COVID-19 cases = 132142
Canada Total population = 37590000
Canada % of Total population inflicted casewise by COVID-19 = 132142 / 37590000 * 100 = 0.3515 %Sweden with no lockdowns:
Sweden Cumulative number of COVID-19 cases = 85880
Sweden Total population = 10230000
Sweden % of population inflicted casewise by COVID-19 = 85880 / 10230000 * 100 = 0.8395 %The lockdown response is bullshit. It is not an extreme death rate or death and/or disability rate.
The world response is incorrect. Lockdowns also lead to non COVID-19 additional deaths due to psychological damage, job destruction and maybe triggering a Great Depression where everyone will be starving and homeless. Seriously what’s going on?
Continuing this way in my mind will lead to a great culling of world population. It may improve the environment but really what is the goal of our leaders?
Do not fear death. Embrace life and living and freedom. If I didn’t live in the middle of nowhere but instead lived in a giant city my soul would be crushed by current events.
Regarding Planet of the Humans:
If you have any care for the environment and have not seen this documentary you have been misled by most of the Green Tech people.As a retired technologist and engineer I can tell you this documentary is correct in its assessment.
I designed, purchased, implemented and am now maintaining an off grid solar system that provides two 120 volt 20 amp circuits. The system cost between $50000 and $100000. After watching planet of the humans I have come to the realization that the environment would have been better off if I used a gasoline generator solution or gave up power altogether.
The green tech is more environmentally destructive than fossil fuels.
Regarding the USA, I feel sorry for Americans. As I previously stated I believe you no longer live in a country but are living in a corporation. The corporations seem to own the politicians and seem to write the laws for them and the citizens to follow. You guys have been so programmed. You have no freedom, no democracy and if the USA looses its reserve currency status you will have no money.
Regarding the USA:
It seems to me that the USA is now a corporation and no longer a country in the full sense of the notion.
Regarding green energy:
Green energy is fantasy and has currently implemented will accelerate environmental destruction but nevertheless make some people a pile of money.
I fail to understand the world reaction to COVID-19. Yesterday I calculated for Canada and Sweden the percentage % of the country’s population that has died from COVID-19. Canada has implemented precautions and lockdowns whereas Sweden has not.
Canada Total COVID-19 deaths = 9153
Canada Total population = 37590000
Canada % of Total population dead from COVID-19 = 9153 / 37590000 * 100 = 0.0243 %Sweden Total COVID-19 deaths = 5842
Sweden Total population = 10230000
Sweden % of Total population dead from COVID-19 = 5842 / 10230000 * 100 = 0.0571 %The percentage of the population in each country that has died at least in my mind does not seem concerning. Yet the world has reacted in a manner that has caused psychological harm, job destruction and may likely trigger a Great Depression.
My impression is that the world is living a lie. Any comments to help me understand what is happening?
