HISTORY SAYS YOU ARE HUMPED 2

Today, looking into the future, using the basic course of historical trends.  No one of course can see the future.  But we both know what the future ISN’T ( it isn’t a straight line but waves, ebbs and surges ) and what it will be ( same as it always is ).  So, to expect never ending advancement, or even decline, is retarded.  Ebb and flow, yo.  And you can’t say we have advanced too far to revert to historical negative norms.  Gawd Bless America, I detest humpers who claim we are too smart for war or slavery or objectifying women.

*

What planet are these morons from?  War is just competition, Darwin selection.  It isn’t good, or bad. It just IS who we are and what we do.  Slavery will never end as long as someone wants surplus energy to gain power or money.  Which is, like, duh, everyone.  Remember when I told you a free slave won in war is equal to a bare minimum of two tons of wheat ( the food you don’t need to raise a child who becomes a warrior )?  And objectifying women?

*

Women LOVE to be objectified.  They base their worthiness and suitability at being provided for by their appearance.  Hell, if I was trying to attract a Sugar Momma, my hair would be even MORE spectacular, you bet!  To return to point, there is no reason we WON’T return to the age old ways of doing business.  If we don’t, another group does, we perish in the conflict over resources, and then only those who DO are left.  Ideology NEVER trumps biology.  Only fat stupid pig faced brain dead public school morons can ever think that it does.  I say onto you, verily, and die already.

*

So, we know we cannot stay at Excess Energy.  Hell, we are DOWN excess energy from 90 years ago by 87%.  That is WITH Saudi oil and fracking oil.  I mean, good lord almighty riding by in a clown car, how much more oblivious can you get, not in complete awe and wonderment we haven’t ALREADY crashed and burned.  And just as stock performance is NOT an indicator of future returns, past success stories of kicking the can down the road certainly do NOT mean we can keep doing so.  In fact, stop looking at success and look at our failures.

*

We have FAILED to retain 87% of the energy we used to have.  And yet, because I’m all about being an optimist and looking at the bright side, look at where we are going.  13% of an oil age energy level is still exponentially far greater than the energy we will have very, very shortly.  Just think of the wood that would have to be burned to generate the electricity needed to recharge your smart phone, and compare that to your overpriced $30 solar panel charging it.  That is your level of energy decline to expect and bank on.

*

As humans, we overexploit the environment until the ecosystem collapses.  That is how we roll.  Nature experiences ebbs and flows.  Humans engineer their environment to experience Seneca Cliff spikes.  If you expect ANYTHING different you are delusional. Plan accordingly.  Even cannibalism, prostituting yourself to the Strong Man, or a Guns Only Prepper is all still at least a plan, far better than any Wishful Thinking Delusional Plan you might be harboring.  Prepping is NOT about MRE’s and FLIR scopes.  It is about understanding threats and planning accordingly.  Collapse is not a buzzword.  It is a process.

*

So, the future is not about decline.  It is about collapse.  But remember, WHAT kind of collapse is an important question.  Even a partial collapse is pretty humping scary, if you are part of the 30% or 50% of fatalities.  Especially since partial die-off casualty figures are ONLY averages.  When the indigs were wiped out by smallpox, or the Europeans by Black Plague, the INITIAL fatality rate was 80-90%.  The last years of the disease had a rate of “only” 10%, after a period of built up immunity.  The average was far lower than the peak casualty rate.

*

It isn’t the average you should be afraid of, but the INITIAL.  The initial figures mirror die-off levels.  And that is a BEST case collapse.  The worst case approaches bottleneck extinction level rates.  That study on the reindeer population on that island?  The island full of vegetation, which then had reindeer introduced, saw the deer population explode.  Then they all died off.  To the last one.  That is the oil age, my beautiful friend.  We won’t go extinct.  Because we ARE violent and greedy and horny social animals ( we will instinctively help the helpless survive, for community ), the species will survive. 

*

But going extinct and a 99.999% die-off are two different things.  And, while I could talk about that for an unending number of articles, I have once again veered into WHY we will collapse instead of staying focused on HOW.  It is our job as potential survivors to anticipate and plan on the process of collapse.  You can bet it will be fast.  Not as in “overnight collapse” so wished for by Credit Card Preppers, but as in once it starts, it will be weeks and months long, not years or decades long.  The system is far too centralized and fragile.

*

Being fast ( and , granted, probably not as fast as my forecasted 30 days-but not too much slower, either ) means it will be FAR more deadly than you can imagine.  You simply do not have any clue.  You cannot.  Your whole world view is rose color glasses tinted from constant dizzying levels of surplus, which from your perspective has lasted forever.  Try to imagine a prison, where the warden just announced an EMP has knocked out the power and there is NO resupply ship coming to your barren island surrounded by shark infested waters.

*

Sure, some of the idiots will deny this could have happened.  But I think the majority would, even if slowly through drug addled brains, figure out this was an All Or Nothing immediate fight to the death, to survive.  This is our civilized society.  An oasis surrounded by locked bars.  Without fuel the food cannot get in.  WE cannot grow the food, locally, as most local food production was long ago moved far away and centralized and fed by overseas oil, as we turned fields into suburbs.  There will be enough brighter bulbs with surely attitudes who realize this.

*

Then, the crowds of idiots will glom on to this fact.  And the prison riot begins.  Being caged ( good luck driving away as quick as roads can get clogged ), and in fear, the fighting will go Full Ferocious and quite deadly, fast.  You don’t have enough ammunition.  And you can’t fight a fire with ammo, nor can you hose down the woods enough to get a sniper.  Crowds kill, and not just at a ‘70’s Who concert.  I’m rather pissed at ‘Ol Remus, as his “stay away from crowds” Uber Wisdom assures him a place in immortality.  Bastard.

*

( as an aside, watch the movie The Mist.  Not as good as the book, but the scene inside the grocery store should closely mimic my prison analogy.  Follow the quick rationalizing which is the prelude to population reduction and resource control ).  Well, I could stop here.  But I won’t.  Continued tomorrow.
