eating gold and skills 2


EATING GOLD AND SKILLS 2
I feel that this oh so very simple concept just isn’t being absorbed by most people.  Food Is First.  You accept when I say that, but you don’t take that to the most logical conclusion.  Famines used to be quite normal, prior to our carbon fuels use ( they were happening afterwards, but they had ceased to be normal and were instead outliers ).  It was recorded history on a lot of behaviors those provoked, such as cannibalism.  As the entire area was starving in China, two families would switch infants.  To eat. 
*
And before you go off on your White Man’s Burden rant on how they were savages, you do understand Whites were afforded the luxury of an extra layer of morality after they stole surplus food from everyone else, yes?  I’m not being Leftist Racist Apologist-that is just how ALL groups act, regardless of color or culture.  I make no apologies for being White.  Ornamentals have a much longer history of civilization than we do, and they have been through all types of collapse so many times you lose track.  They experienced Collapse Mitigation so often it is nearly hardwired.  Learn their lessons.
*
The entire way we organize our lives from families up to civilizations is all founded on food.  All our stupid and irrational ways of doing everything are quite understandable in light of wanting to eat.  Why of COURSE we eat the seed corn when there is nothing left ( I find the tales of heroic Soviet scientists starving themselves to allow the seed to be saved for harvest just that-unicorn stories ).  And of COURSE we are going to eat each other when food runs out.  Why, let’s see.  How smart do you have to be?
*
You have a third grade education, and daddy was Obammy ( your momma probably farted on insertion so he thought he was porking a guy in the ass.  When you are coked up, these mistakes happen ) and you were dropped on your head as a baby, and even YOU can understand that you either weaken and die tomorrow from not eating long pork, or you play the rather good odds this won’t kill you in a couple of years from disease or parasites.  Hell, you get that hungry, fifty/fifty odds are good enough.  Assured death now or perhaps death down the road.
*
If you don’t eat the seeds, you definitely will die.  If you do eat them, odds are you will still die but there is a chance somehow you find another source of food.  Hunger isn’t an either or, like a car running perfectly to the last drop of gasoline and then suddenly stopping.  You’ll start seeing degraded performance almost immediately from weakness, long before your body starts feeding on yourself.  Judgement and thinking are impaired long before shut down.  Eating will become a black and white issue, and logical thought non-existent.  You’ll be making Zero Future Orientation Decisions quickly.
*
Just a whiff of hunger and zero prospects of escaping that, and your world view modifies down to either giving up entirely or doing whatever it takes to eat, if food presents itself.  All those decades of Dorito’s on demand, and twenty-four hour deep fried goodness, washed down with modified corn syrup sodas, fly out the window.  Suddenly you understand how primal eating is.  You only thought breeding was primary, as you never understood calorie deficit.  Don’t misunderstand fasting or dieting for famine.  Voluntary verses life threatening.  You want to understand why Old Timey dudes were so tough?
*
They understood hunger.  Truly understood it, as in “keep your crap tight or you go hungry”.  As in, “make the hard choices or starve”.  You’ll toughen up real quick after a bit of On The Job Training like that.  You get hungry, truly hungry like Americans haven’t experienced in ninety years ( even the bums have food, or calories from booze ) and then you understand how easy it was to eagerly embrace Roosevelt Communism ( it is easy to judge from hindsight and a full belly-of which I’m just as guilty ) or Hitler’s Fascism.
*
We joke about being livestock for the elite, and about SoyLent Green.  And we should laugh.  The decline sucks.  The collapse will be exponentially worse.  But if you can keep laughing and learn to actually embrace it, don’t you think that is much better than gloomy despondency?  Crap, dude, you ARE going to die.  You didn’t get it, about food.  You confused calories with tasty treats.  You were an idiot and are going to pay the price.  So why not learn to laugh, starting at laughing at yourself?  As I say about really ancient pukes who finally died, and everyone pretends sadness, hell, they had a good life.
*
As soon as someone finally gets it, who finally realizes food was too important to take for granted, the LAST thing they will give two craps about is sharing that food with some idiot, just because of LUXURY.  Is a doctor a luxury?  Of COURSE they are.  And have been, forever except recently prior and up to ObammyCare ( now it has returned to a luxury, a fact most people cannot fathom.  But, but…a human right!  Dumb ass, you have the RIGHT to shut up and die ).  Like spoiled kids, we see a fantasy reality.
*
Is a car mechanic a luxury?  Duh!  Are communications a luxury?  Why surely, they need a gunsmith? As compared to eating, yes, still a luxury.  It doesn’t matter how militarily necessary these items are, if you do not have the resources for them.  That is the fundamental truth spoiled bitches don’t get.  It doesn’t matter want you need or want.  It only matters if it is available.  You KNOW you’ll never get a Lamborghini.  It is a luxury.  You understand what a luxury is.  Now you need to understand that the definition of luxury is already changing.

    Rule Of Threes

    Could I live three minutes without air? Sure... but after three seconds, I tend to get off-task.

    Could I live three weeks without chow? Maybe... but after three hours, my performance degrades on the way toward ineffective.

    Would I toss your kid in the stew? I cannot answer that.

    However, on the third day without my Bison... well, I think we can all agree, some things are beyond comprehension.

  2. Yes, I tend to agree that my writing and air are nearly equal :)

  3. As of this very moment, 11:57am Sun, I have not eaten in over 17 hours. Nothing. At. All. This is normal for me. Been living this way for decades. Now, it's not a solid rule. Sometimes I'll eat something in the morning, but usually not.

    About half an hour after I eat anything I can feel it "kick in", that is, blood is drawn toward my digestive system and I feel it everywhere else. I get cold, for example, and lazy and wanna take a nap. I hate feeling that way so I avoid the thing that causes the process - eating.

    That 3 meals a day nonsense? I believe it's an adaptation of the easy fuel. Throughout most of history the average bloke didn't eat everyday. Eating everyday was the realm of the wealthy. That's what I'm aiming for, not eating everyday. Life would be simpler if that chore was relegated to a "now and then" status rather than the arduous and expensive chore it is now.

    Currently I eat maybe twice a day but only one so called meal which I eat about 6pm. For "lunch" which doesn't necessarily happen at noon, I go very light, maybe a sandwich but never any more, and usually just a piece of raw fruit. (today it will be a banana, which I share with the mutt - she has to have her nitrogen too ya know!)

    Sometimes when my wife and I go to the metropolis for our monthly supply restocking we'll go to a Steak N Shake or something and I always feel like hell afterward, all tired and sleepy and don't wanna do anything and I hate that feeling.

    Food, it'll kill ya, but it'll keep ya alive too. Quite the conundrum.

    My stance on long pig is, I'd rather eat UNdiseased tree bark instead. You eat that nasty person and there's no telling what kind of hell will be on your immediate agenda.

    book review of MECHANICAL FAILURE by Joe Zieja

    Bisonizers, if you can get your hands on a copy of MECHANICAL FAILURE: Please Restart Your Warship, you must!

    This was hilarious, to the point I set down the book == sometimes several times a page == to catch my breath and wipe the tears from my rosy dimpled cheeks.

    Although fiction, MECHANICAL FAILURE parallels my experiences in unwieldy 'organizations' such as governments. The levels of incompetence and outright sabotage is easily concealed by the generation of masses of make-work paperwork.

    As I wrote in my Amazon review, MECHANICAL FAILURE earns the LargeMarge Seal Of Approval.

    Apropos to today's Bison column, this is an excellent opportunity to contemplate my prepping and my focus. As one classmate at MotherRucker stated:
    "I likes me my foods and my hot showers!"
    This was in response to the suggestion:
    Lower-rated flight students would enjoy their time as ground-pounders.

  5. Yes. My own thinking contamination resulted from the modern western norm of fractured family structures with the removal or suppression of elder (and tribe) wisdom. The absence of a sufficient amount of this passed down wisdom and knowledge (not like modern benign small talk thrown about) is the cause for much of the ignorance and simpleton disinterest in the hard subject matter. This element is combined with the just in time, globalist, lemming feeding system structures. The end result come collapse and apocalypse is a continental sized nation with vast amounts of "starvation islands" located through and through. I have been embarked on a long 'thinking campaign' parallel with prepping "stuff" to condition self for the hard subject matter. The animal dna will come forth and anything necessary to eat and stay alive will be done with no remorse or queasiness.

  6. Minions of course already wargamed this out a bit. That Minion working towards his final badge award "bat shit crazy" is doing all those little preps towards certification. An obsessive stockpile of spice seasonings, full tooling for complete butchering, equipped for food preservation and storage at near commercial capability, knowledge and kitchenry kit to cook any entre' item seven different ways, martial tool and skill set for security and a very high successful harvesting percentage. Also possesses a keen trained eye to calculate the end processing meat quantity and its daily caloric nutritional sustenance timeline value of anything that moves. Yep, after that badge award certification, it will all be easy as making campires.

    My, those folks sure have some strange culinary customs.

    Asian neighbor 1: “Say there honorable neighbor-San, what you got grilling on the wok?

    Asian neighbor 2: “Sweet and sour, your baby, with just a dash of your Pekingese”. "Pull up a chair, and I’ll pour you a cold Saké to wash it down with" :D

    2. The honorific "san" is Japanese.

    3. Yes, I knew that. Saké is also a Japanese creation as I recall (Though I do believe that there is Chinese Saké as well?). But for the purposes of my joke, I was counting on the minions not being aware of such cultures, and just sorta going with it :D

    4. I had an uncle who really got into the culture after Shogun was published. A lot rubbed off. Still, an appreciated bit of levity.

  8. I fasted for forty days and nights three times in my life for religious/supernatural reasons . I would think I could go a measly thirty days should reason or liberty demand it .

    2. If you can't go a week without food, you will be in trouble in even a light weather crisis. For a middle-healthy adult, this should be nothing at all except psychological.

    3. Anyone except Skinnies can go a week without food. The question is performance degradation. Throw in stress, disease and enemy action.

  9. Just a comment about fasting, a great exercise and helps you realize you can survive without food for several days, if, you start fully tanked up with a reserve of fat, like 99.99% of the current population. Quite another matter to "fast" involuntarily with no idea when your next meal might be. Much like the difference between voluntarily holding your breath, and having someone plunge your head underwater with no idea when (or if) you can escape.
