  • I think it’s important for people to realize:

    A very bad cold or flu can totally damage your body and is how lots of older folks go unfortunately.

    Covid without a vaccine would have been a terrible sickness.

    What bugs me the most is so many people who don’t understand logical fallacies kept saying just wait a year or two and you’ll see mass deaths and weakened immunity… and they are conveniently silent now, probably blaming fires on DEI or something stupid like that.







  • America was built on a very fruitful land, the new comers had a lot of room to expand.

    There weren’t any existing powers to stifle growth so it was “free” to grow as much as possible (this is what they mean by freedom).

    The gold rush happened in California, then a lot (and I mean A LOT for its time) of oil production.

    Then Europe had a couple of civil wars (I’m calling it that cause they fought themselves mostly) which gave US even more of an advantage.

    The American experiment has had A LOT privileges because it was the new world. Those are ending but Americans believe they can keep the party going forever.

    Europe had a similar boost during colonial times and that ended too, so chances are it will happen to US too.

    Only two questions remain:

    • Will it be as bloody as possible like WWII or more peaceful.
    • Will Americans get their shit together after like Europe and form a strong union built on democracy.

    For your body to stay alive, a lot of things have to go right for the “engines” to keep running.

    On the other hand, just a few things going wrong is all it takes to take down the overly complex Rube Goldberg machine that is your body; all being inevitable due to how entropy and randomness work in our universe.
