PERSPECTIVE OR EXPERIENCE

I love the Green Mountain Dude. Yes, occasionally he throws you a curve ball like some socialist screed proclaiming if we all just love our neighbor we can live in harmony and save Gaia, but by and large he is so grounded and rational with survivalism I can't help but long for his return to the soapbox. He had an article today on the Beer Flu. Essentially, it said he was reluctant to call The End, but he felt he had to. I don't know that I agree with him completely as far as the characteristics of the disease, but that hardly matters.

*

Green Mountain Dude's link is always at my web page, which is always listed below in the small print. His site is too hard to remember, so it is easier to just always have it there ( plus, he earned the spot in my coveted limited “links to others” ). The article is February 23, 2020. He links a video on the Doctor Death many others have been referring to. The western doc who thinks we are all going to die. I haven't watched any of those nor do I plan to. Peak Prosperity covers it adequately and Chris used to be a virologist dude so he knows his crap.

*

( Peak Prosperity has mostly redeemed itself from its years ago Jumping The Shark into some woo-woo Hippie Dippie Think Positive And Prosper[ity]. He went from spelling out our doom through math and then went all psycho-babble on us. Luckily for us reality tempered that optimistic Ollie BS and they went back to cautiously emitting warnings again. I don't link their daily blog but I do their Crash Course, so you can find it easily enough. They still sell out to the lowest common denominator, but no where near as bad, and I forgive and love them )

*

BUT! ALTHOUGH! Except! Green Mountain Dude brings up the very good point that it isn't just the disease. It is the total supply disruption. AND! Importantly, it is the final collapse of the economy begun in 2008. The Black Swan of the Frantic Papering Over no longer being able to be papered over. So, my understanding is that Green Dude isn't talking pandemic as much as collapse. Not that he is saying no pandemic. He is saying, no recovery from the pandemic, and economic factors will probably make it a very bad pandemic.

*

If I understand him correctly, it goes without saying. And he wasn't even that doomy or gloomy. Just calling for the end of too much caution. But all that isn't what I am writing about today. It was necessary background, because I'm using Green Dude as my test subject here today. You might recall I've pointed out that to GMD Gore Warming is real. The ocean current off the Atlantic coast has been altered. It IS real over there, just as my area is now marginally wetter than normal on a regular basis.

*

And no, I don't mean that you can now farm in the desert here. Instead of 12 to 15 inches of moisture a year-which includes snow-it is probably staying on the high end now, rather than dipping down below that on some years as was normal before. As for Mountain Dudes weather, I defer to Orlov's stand on Gore Warming, which is that so many variables are lacking with the model that they have are worthless. Yes, weather is indeed way off from normal there, and most likely everywhere. The cause is not a slam dunk, however. Of course, as one minion famously schooled me, when you are falling off the cliff it doesn't matter if you tripped or where pushed.

*

What I'm getting at is that to the Green Mountain Dude, self labeled “C5”, which I'll use from now on as I weary of the full moniker, he is observing what he believes is Gore Warming. To him, it is real. And, as taken from the above, I think to him the Beer Flu is also very real. He had A flu, bad, him and the missus. As in pneumonia bad. I've been there, although in my case it was from overwork in the severe cold rather than picking up the flu in Latin America. He never claimed it was Beer Virus, just that he contacted a flu while traveling.

*

I'm wondering how much his mindset has been altered by both these events, seeming deadly flu and Gore Warming. I'm not denying his experiences. All of us form our world view through our experiences. Sending the Bitch Baby Mamma to trade school to earn big bucks so she can leave me for a fellow student, taking my kids, I'm bitter and hateful towards women's cultural and legal status currently. It isn't like I can talk myself out of that. But I also have to admit, the majority of women are NOT that bad and do not take advantage or intentionally screw up their kids for profit.

*

So my question becomes, is experience here, this prophecy business, is it helpful or harmful? Is what we are experiencing a good indicator of reality? Or, is LACK of that experience more helpful as it falls under “clarity of outside looking in”? Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying I disagree with C5. I think this IS it, economically ( which effects all other factors such as energy inputs ). I just wonder if his recent experience with the flu colors his views of the pandemic aspect of it. I'm still leaning towards the “kills mostly all Ornamentals”.

*

But then, after personal experience getting screwed by official organizations, are my experiences coloring my leaning towards

the more conspiratorial aspects? Just as military guys swear by their tactics which kept them alive, I automatically discount them due to my constant exposure to the pure D morons who made up 95% of the military. Who is right? While it is true that I'm picking nits and going Full Retard Esoteric, WAY over analyzing, it still matters to some extent. The devil is always in the details, no matter how much they make your head hurt.

*

We might be falling off that cliff, no matter what caused it, and either way we are soon to become a greasy spot on the rocks below. But we can't take the metaphor too far. Unlike those under the thrall of gravity, we can still alter course here. C5 might be far more adversely impacted by his farm location, but so is everyone else. Because whatever the reason the weather is changing. The guy moving to traditional farmland is in more trouble, not seeing the change. C5 at least knows what is coming. And over panicking about a pandemic is never bad.

*

So it would seem experience wins out here. But what about those aforementioned guys practicing experienced tactics that worked. For Oil Age Industrial Age military's. Outside looking in clearly uncovers the error in that. Experience loses. I think the only answer here is to mix and match. Experience is needed and necessary. You just need to know when another voice speaking from another viewpoint trumps your experience. Yeah, it's called adaptation. Which is what Darwin was saying all along.
