Near Future Outline:
Acceleration Split:
Tech elites ascend (AI, biotech); masses stagnate.
Virtual Overload:
Digital identity > Physical self.
Power Shift:
Corporations replace nations.
Human Divergence:
AI slaves vs. enhanced beings.
Mental Survival:
Outer chaos, inner strength is key.
> Adapt. Mutate. Or vanish.

perhaps you should get fired for being incompetent, then trump would be out of a job.

The U.S. is now like a Batman movie without Batman.
“We’re stepping into the most pro-growth, pro-business, pro-American administration I’ve perhaps seen in my adult lifetime,” gushed the hedge fund manager Bill Ackman in December...
“You don’t get fired for being bullish, but you do get fired for being bearish on Wall Street,” said Berezin.

"What the Fuck is Happening: #Trump Just Triggered an #Economic #Collapse Worse Than the #Great #Depression"

We are in the middle of a climate apocalypse. But do we really care?
Die #Verdrängungsgesellschaft ist transnational:
"The problem with the soft apocalypse is that it is still an apocalypse. It still ends in #collapse. We tell ourselves we have time, that the worst is always just ahead, that we will act when we must."

Mao sent his young party cadres to attack “anyone who could think — ruling elites such as Deng Xiaoping, college professors, engineers, writers and journalists, doctors, etc. He wanted to dumb down the entire population so that he could rule easily and forever,” the former official wrote. “Sounds a bit similar with what is going on in the U.S.? I hope not.”

Much of Friedman's column is boilerplate US propaganda. However, this line is correct: "But if Trump turns out to be wrong, he will have sown the wind, and we as a nation will reap the whirlwind. But so, too, will the rest of the world."

Climate-threatened life

Knowing, we owe more.
The three worst presidents in US history (Herbert Hoover, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump) were all hailed for their business background and skills. Time to retire the trope that businessmen know anything about running nation states.

@ketanjoshi.co when #doomers refer to #collapse i think they often refer to the seneca cliff in which complexity breaks down a lot faster than it build up. but that is also a very specific mathematical model. it plays a huge role in the limits-to-growth model, but it is STILL JUST ONE MODEL.
@ketanjoshi.co i would say #collapse in systems dynamics describes a shift in dominance of feedbacks. in the context of complexity theory it is used to describe rapid breakdown of complexity. but it is never used in any of these professions as a technical term. they have their own, very specific jargon and definitions of different concepts of collapse.
too many people #talkcollapse who never read any #systemstheory.
Il y a un demi-siècle (1972) que nous savons que la #croissance a ses limites.
Insouciants et grands adorateurs du tout-au-capitalisme à l'américaine, nous avons persévéré dans la gabegie #économique et le pillage #environnemental plutôt que de gérer proactivement la #décroissance.
Nous voilà aujourd'hui, non pas à la croisée des chemins, mais au pied du mur:
c'est le #Collapse 
Yesss 
Ah meeeerde, ça finit en #guerre mondiale ce genre de conneries humaines.
Bah, qui vivra verra...
“We have lots of bad economic policy in the world, but we’ve never seen anything this amateur or purposely destructive at the national level from a G7 economy,” says Gillezeau. “I think that there are pretty reasonable odds they cast themselves into another Great Depression, right?”

i'd have A LOT more respect for the #collapse folks if you just said what you feel, which is you want the western world order to break before it breaks the biosphere.
ffs i even agree with that. you have any idea just how many people feel you on that?
BUT IT'S NOT A PLAN!
There are people who think Trump is smart.
“There has certainly been no piece of trade policy in my lifetime that is at this level of stupidity, right?” said Rob Gillezeau, an assistant professor of economic analysis and policy at the University of Toronto. “It’s not grounded in anything intelligent. Like, they’re kind of just like ignoring economics altogether.”
