Your work is outstanding and speaks for itself

Don't even waste the energy trying to explain reality to the bozo brigade

The US in general and this site in particular suffers from a severe case of cognitive dissonance

Folks have a real hard time reconciling what they intuitively know to be true with their imagined view of the world

Bart let me apologise up front..... this is the poster my post associated with you Eric

Had no knowledge of you. only came entirely from SI posts seen here, have never seen, or heard, of any site where your record or viewpoints are on display.

Please provide a link so that those of us who have mistaken you for someone else, can reboot ourselves.

my own post last night was out of boredom brought on by the last several days dialog about, AR and Objectivist thought.

Not being a cultist myself, we share that much in common. ( you were not making your case btw, and for the readers moving that discussion along would have enabled something else to come forward, imo)

Everyone, give thanks to Bart for predicting EVERYTHING that can happen:

Some of the major ways the whole world wide economic and political issues could play out, in no particular order:

  1. Inflationary or hyperinflationary depression, aka very significant stagflation
  2. Deflationary depression
  3. Debt restructuring
  4. "Rescue" by the IMF, BIS & World Bank (or similar institutions) involving a new world currency etc.
  5. "Debt jubilee", partial or not, and including an all consumer government bailout in order to pay down debt.
  6. Wars of varying sizes, and not necessarily involving guns and shooting
  7. Large population decreases, due to disease, weather events, energy and/or food shortages, wars, or other Malthusian issues.
  8. "New World Order" - oligarchy, fascism, corporatism, kleptocracy, etc.

    On the brighter side:
  9. Energy breakthroughs
  10. True leaders and statesmen emerge
  11. "Age of Aquarius" factors, in other words very unexpected positive changes - aka, "white swans"

    And obviously, various combinations of the above.
