Thanks, Nembit.
My background is not computers. It's (devolutionist libertarian) political theory, and I was studying the Global Financial Crisis (/peak oil) before it was labelled that -- seven years straight. The GFC has barely begun; westerners are fed up with over-regulation; and we can exploit that fact.
"Peak oil, peak soil, peak water, peak people; militarism, debt, 'social incoherence'/culture of entitlement, perverse over-regulation; debt; climate change (whether it's us or not . . . ) -- and did I mention debt?"
I tend to disagree with this, without proper economic background and how things actually work in the world you cannot come to such an assumption.
There's a reason why we are making the slow transition to more green energies, you can't change the world from night to day. It would mean economic/social collapse worldwide if it was to be changed so suddenly.
Anyways, this is a NXTTY thread and the development process has been great so far! Back to topic.
We were on topic. If you didnt notice we were discussing the global economic conditions that should help cryptocurrencies of which Nxtty is involved in. I believe we are both invested in this project and we should be able to have a conversation without being told what to say.
I am not an accademic but have read thousands of articles backed up by data and IMZ is correct....we are headed for social upheaval on a scale that has never been seen for a long time.
I can tell you, you are absolutely right.
We are seeing the patterns of a new world being created that we will hopefully get to see come to reality.
What I was talking about is all the pessimism which IMZ seemed to aim for, such as the hidden agendas of corporations, debt, banks, etc. Yes there are conspiracies, but not like the ones that are usually promoted online. There are real conspiracies out there, and they are not that hidden or obscure.
Think about it: corporations, banks, and governments are not that dumb. They see that this world needs a change and it can't sustain itself in its current state. They don't just want the world to die off, then what good would it do them.
They are creating a transition for the world to a new phase, they are doing it slowly because if you were to do it too fast the whole system would collapse on itself.
There's a reason why they say certain policies and changes will take 5+, 10+, 20+, etc. years to implement. Not everyone is receptive to sudden change and it needs to be done in a way where people are given time to get accustomed to the new ways.
For example, crypto currency. People eventually will start using it at a massive scale, but it won't happen overnight. You need to give it some time.
Another example, if we would all change from oil to a green alternative tomorrow, what would happen to all the economies that depend on the oil industry? Oil is not just fuel, it is used in virtually every aspect of our lives. All the way from plastic products, hygiene, transportation, food manufacturing, etc. The world's economies would basically collapse overnight. The transition needs to happen carefully and well planned out.
I will leave it at that and hope I gave you some food for thought.
