Pretty accurate.

Again, China and Japan are about as similar as Europe and the US. Probably less so as Japan puts more value on freedom than China ever could pretend to.

Also, between your reference and today Japan got nuked twice. That caused a drastic shift in their mentality. They're more into being productive than being dumb warmongers now and most of them would be too focused with the rat race to even think twice about some gaijin.

Well, this Mindrust guy might be delusional thinking digital shitcoins can compare at all to physical metals, but at least he's not clueless that a random Gaijin roaming around Asia when the shit hits the fan will probably be fucked. What is the most common trait of the Chinese?  It's pragmatism.  Japanese are not the same, but similar.  They do NOT have any type of societal norms based on things like Christianity (which is mostly just the golden rule).  Even if you're not religious you will probably still benefit from living in a Christian foundation civilization.  

When the time comes, maybe it's completely pragmatic for the Chinese or Japanese to decapitate the outsider Gaijin believing they can't be trusted for whatever reason and there is absolutely nothing to stop that choice from being the pragmatic solution:

By digitally only I mean that people will create virtual worlds and experiences that others will choose to consume. Similar to Youtube, Twitch and Patreon today but on a much larger scale.

Costs are on an exponential downward slope for any physically produced good that the government or other such players don't have their hands in. As such, there will be no need for labour in the traditional sense. And value and money will literally just be brownie points exchanged between different parties. For this even shitcoins would fit the bill. But I think that something like Bitcoin will be the common denominator, as central bank fiat currencies are inflating too much.

For culture and colours.....

In each one of those we Will have good and bad, better and worse people
I can get along with all of them.... with the good ones, i avoid bad coloured but i try to avoid bad whites as well
We can have muslim terrorists, but we had or have white nazi’s as well

There Will always be problems ..... just don’t be the one in the center or helping or whatever with those problems

Good night and let us HODL and rest in peace

Lights of @ Siquijor island

Good night WO’s

I sleep too much as well. My problem is with falling asleep. Even if I worked myself out and have been awake for 30+ hours it would generally take me 2-3 hours of toss and turn before I'd finally doze off. At that point I sleep through though.

And accurate.

You don't have to like it, but it is a fact that Islam is fundamentally incompatible with western culture. They have no business here. And no place at all to play victims.

That's too generalizing. I'm aware of the xenophobic attitude that many, mostly old, Japanese people have.

And while they do have a "public" and a "personal" stance (tatemae vs honne). But the ones I've interacted with clearly used their personal opinions when interacting with me, as opposed to their "polite, avoid problems and live in harmony" type "public" opinions (which are mostly a result of their lack of space). I did meet my fair share of the type of Japanese that you are referring to, but you can entirely avoid them and any of the problems associated.

Also, it's not true that I couldn't get a Japanese passport. It's not as easy as it is in most Western places, but it's certainly possible. I could pretty much get one within two more years if I recall correctly.

That is my experience with Ritalin as well, I never had any sleeping problems tho, rather the opposite, I sleep too much and is usually on a 25 hour cycle.
But I tried microdosing it instead (1/4 to 1/2 of a 5 mg pill in the morning) and that gave me a good balance between focus and creativity without messing with sleep and hunger.
I'm not taking it right now because of interactions with other drugs, but I will try another round when I'm of that drug.

I've already seen other people bring up this shitcoiner topic before, that EVERYONE will have their own coin that derives value from what they produce or whatever.  Assuming you could even make it work with all the interchangeability problems, most people simply produce nothing, so it's like....lol?  You are aware of the term bread and circus right?  

Welfare is money you bribe poor people with so they don't murder you in your sleep and take your stuff.  In that regard, any change back to a non-fantasy land, fraudulent monetary system is probably going to involve enormous taxes on 'the haves' to distribute bread to the people who produce nothing to stop them from burning down the planet.  Well, actually, just the cost of handing out food would be low and not requiring enormous taxes, but that assumes you completely abolish the entire military money laundering scam, medicare money laundering scam, and all other fraudulent govt programs.

Oil is irrelevant. Oil is being used because it's the status quo. There are plenty of options to it that will get adopted at a speed none of us can even imagine if the necessity and economic incentives arise.

Monetary systems have been collapsing for all of human history as well, with no significant impact to speak of as of today. And Bitcoin, as much as you hate it, is at least one solid solution that is already taking the first steps to replacing the fiat scam.

I can see the appeal of metals. But in the digital age they're just simply not efficient and friction-less enough to be worth the trouble.

Japan is faking its friendliness.

They don't like foreigners at all. While I agree Japan isn't China, I still wouldn't place it too far away from China.

Japan will never give you a Japanese passport even when you marry a Japanese girl. Doesn't matter how long you lived in Japan or what education you got. They don't care about your net worth neither.

If things suddenly  go south, Japan might surprise you.

There isn't a single safe country left on earth.

Oh in my mind I have very little doubt that, while we'll have some serious problems to face, life as a whole will get much better for everyone who deserves it. But as I've said earlier, I argue for points I don't believe in sometimes as an exercise. Similarly I talk to people whose position I almost surely won't share to draw out questions I won't ask myself otherwise.


Here is what I see happening. We will relatively soon get to a point where people will be able to create their vision at will (at first digitally only), and value will be derived based on how capable a person is to create an experience of interest to others. Some will choose to just consume in our world of abundance and do nothing else (enjoy the show). Others will choose to compete in creating the most interesting experiences of all kind, or just do it because they enjoy the creative process.
Given the current trajectory and all the developments I've been following in science and tech I have almost no doubt that we're heading into at least a quasi-utopia. The only potential cockblock I see to this is an asteroid or some other natural disaster that would wipe humanity out entirely or somehow wipe out all of our knowledge. There will still be people complaining and conspiracy crafting, but that's just the fundamental nature of being at play, and not an actual issue. Matter tries to bond in all possible permutations, some are stable, some aren't. Some like each other and compound, some don't. Humans are just an extension of this.

On the path to that there will be a gap between people who choose to stay within virtual realities, and others who will be trying to avoid those or otherwise create the technology necessary to have the same level of freedom VR will offer in the physical world.

And once we get bored of all that we'll realize that we've been there before and hit the reset button. Then the whole debacle will start over with results differing in appearance but not in fundamental quality.

I'm not worried about civil war whatsoever.  The only thing to worry about is the collapse of the oil industry or debt based monetary scam system will cause the just in time delivery economy to fail, maybe even on a global basis, which probably results in the death of millions or billions of people and something resembling a zombie apocalypse.  The financial aspect of that doomsday event can be averted simply by revaluing metals to what they should be and going back to a metals based monetary system.  As for the oil part, we'll see what happens there.  Looks like Trump will try to 'commandere' some Venezeula oil.

Far right, hardcore anti-immigration senator from Australia? Unlikely there will be.

But the idea that somehow immigrants are responsible for their own unprovoked, cold-blooded murder is fucking sickening.

So I visited https://www.politicalcompass.org to gauge my current position.

I think their characterization of the historical 20th century nationalistic right is wrong. They say Hitler wasn't that much of a right wing man economically (which I agree with), but they place Mussolini at the extreme economic right, which isn't accurate. Both leaders were socialists at heart, especially the Italian guy - who influenced and contributed to shape the German's view on economics.

I agree with V8 that the questions are too generic - and often ambiguous, as others have pointed out. Just some fun game, that's all. And the spectrum is too limited. I was expecting I'd be placed closer to center on both axes. As the test is right now, I found out I'm in the same spot as Bernie Sanders. When I took the test a few years ago, Sanders wasn't even a thing, but the general area was similar. Champagne socialists* unite!

In Belgium i never (almost never) sleep before 2 am on holiday i’m always preparing for bed @ +- 9 -10 PM



So yeah, preparing for HODLsleep and early travel on morning

Hitler was a mix of left and right. Politically as well as personally. This makes him the perfect political scapegoat for both sides.

Huh. Content changed since I clicked. Oh well, you know what you wrote.

Who cares about oil when you have nuclear power to fuel electric motors? There are solutions to those problems. You just need some space and resources. Things might not be pretty, but Japan still seems like a decent bet if full-blown civil war broke out in the West (which I doubt will happen).

Nuclear power plants can also be made vastly more efficient than they are now. The tech used in current ones is the same that was used to nuke places and people and not optimized for usable energy output.

Nice try Trilemma shill, digital shitcoin scammer.  Who else on the entire planet besides me do you see referencing people like Plato and Aristotle's arguments on economics and constrasting them vs the fundamentals of bitcoin (or in this case, the complete lack thereof because Aristotle was right and Plato was a Keynesian)?  You Trilemma douchebags are complete hacks.  

The vast majority of what I type is completely original while all you people do is pretend to be some type of elitists but fail at it while shilling for scams to try and enrich yourselves.  You do not tell the truth about anything. You are virtually identical to a CNBC host.  Metals are objectively superior to shitcoins and no amount of lies from you will change that.  Fun fact!  I do NOT even want any of you to sell a single shitcoin.  Allowing a whale to accumulate lets them manipulate the market higher in a pump and dump.  The more you scammers 'HODL' the more we can watch this shit drop to zero and metals defeat them.
