He's made out to be Jesus Christ and Karl Marx fused into one being but denied the chance because of muh bankers (Jews, apparently)

Also, yes, free energy

Nevermind that even with modern technology his shit is impossible to implement still

@Deleted User ironically, DC may actually start coming back into prominence over AC - especially as the use of solar increases

Matt and Blonde ought to be affirming collapse preparation as a lifestyle

they've discussed the legitimacy of sentiments of hopelessness/directionlessness among recent mass shooters and prepping/homesteading is a fairly straightforward way of living that yields tangible results fast

should shit not actually hit the fan, the worst you wind up with is a bunch of people capable of providing for themselves sans grid with more skills and capability than they would've had otherwise

There's the opportunity cost of non-collapse related skills those people could have cultivated instead.

But generally preparedness is not a bad thing.

and those skills come at the opportunity cost of not being as self-sufficient as you would have been otherwise

software engineering puts food on the table, but so does growing potatoes

That is true.

if shit *does* hit the fan, software engineering no longer serves

and i'm personally of the position that shit is indeed about to hit the fan

Software engineering isn't going to go under just because of some ish going down nationally, or hell even if a global civil war broke out, I doubt that software would just disappear.

He's not talking about a civil war or something, he's talking about a global societal collapse.

If its GLOBAL societal collapse i think we'll have a lot more to deal with

If the US goes tits up the rest of the world is soon to follow

Like, that day

Global societal collapse imo is pretty close to impossible without an few several million acts of god. People group up. That's just how shit goes. Unless we're talking in fiction, in which case, sure, I can suspend my disbelief to enjoy a good story.

I mean I don't think countries are going to cease to exist, I merely think that without the US around being the big swingin' dick on the block there's suddenly gonna be about a hundred more wars worldwide. What are the odds South Korea remains un-nuked if the US is too concerned with a war on its home turf to halp them out. What do you think happens in the South China Sea when China has free reign? Shit will hit the fan around the globe

Probably eventually yeah, but not all at once. That would take serious planning and be a 'perfect storm '

Maybe within a day was hyperbolic, but give it one year and the rest of the world is kerfuckled, I'd bet any amount of fiat currency.

Well, for definitions of kerfuckled I suppose

controversial opinion of the day: Pink Floyd is the Rick and Morty of musicians

change my mind

What do you mean by this

"iT's aN aCquIReD TaStE"

"tbf, you gotta have a high IQ to understand Pink Floyd"

Can't change your mind about what you've seen the fans say. Everything has annoying fans though.

If by that you mean "it's only good if you get super high first"then yes I agree @Deleted User

@A. Spader you get me

Thanks man

Im not sure that's a compliment

I took it as one

Truly, the only good music is pre-baroque classical music.

Anything after is degeneracy

Renaissance music? No
