Go insolvent and do not repay. Plain and simple. What are they going to do? Go to war? Alas oil may become a little more difficult to purchase afterwards. But hey, no more foreign-held debt. And you are going there anyway – at some point you will have a debt of 15 or 20 trillion…

Walkabout
The idea is simple. I wear one or several HD/HDR camera’s on me. I wear either a recording device on me that registers all. When I can afford I wear a means to directly uplink what my camera registers, real-time and united by satelite connectivity. And then I switch the camera on, take enough echargable…
Wind Energy Basics
Let’s look at what we know. Most of the commercial-scale turbines installed today are 2 MW in size and cost roughly $3.5 Million installed. Wind turbines have significant economies of scale. Smaller farm or residential scale turbines cost less overall, but are more expensive per kilowatt of energy producing capacity. Wind turbines under 100 kilowatts…
Biofuel displaces food
Some emphasis on terms
UPWING A political movement that defines itself by being contrary to established leftwing (liberal/social democratic) versus rightwing (conservative/freemarket) values. The idea was formulated in part by FM2030, and comprises technological solutions and verifiable science over ideological assumptions. I hasten to add that in my interpretation of UPWING2011 the emphasis to cut the various Gordian knots…

Current games and what they say
A quick look at a bunch of upcoming or recent games, with my thoughts in what these games about the current zeitgeist we are currently in. I will send out an open invitation to the well known philosopher Slavok Zizek to also comment on these game videos. He probably will be too busy, but think…

The Big Banks Are Waging Warfare Against the People of the World
Michael Hudson is a highly-regarded economist. He is a Distinguished Research Professor at the University of Missouri, Kansas City, who has advised the U.S., Canadian, Mexican and Latvian governments as well as the United Nations Institute for Training and Research. He is a former Wall Street economist at Chase Manhattan Bank who also helped establish…
Give me that knife, where shall I start cutting?
2 february I am getting my popcorn. I will watch either the US end as a society (and that will be delightful to watch) or I will watch the far right, teaparties and republicans crawl back into their sewers (which will be also a delight). Win every step of the way.

Allah, God, Jehova. Evil.
We must now conclude these entities are not representations ofd good in the human drive. Instead they represent an impulse towards autocratic governance, punishment, confirmity and sadism. We can’t get rid of this, since we can’t convince the people that believe in these horrible ideas to stop. The best we can do at this stage…
And this will destroy jobs
And in most cases production and manufacture jobs lost are boring jobs, so good riddance. However what we should not want is then to find a substantial portion of our population is unable to do stuff that makes a humane, dignified existence. Eventually we’ll need something like a basic income. Yes, taking money from those…

Oops *physical* button
Plan CARBON – I’d say to Russia – do it. Screw the rest of the world.
Listen closely when I say that the following short article is intended to be provocative. However insofar it isn’t intended provocative – and the idea behind the article is not taken seriously – I’d seriously suggest to Russia to take this idea seriously and do it. For starters have a look at the following videopresentation…
What Mayans Can Teach Us About Wind Turbines
A fascinating new book reveals how, when society becomes more complex, Man substitutes belief for science – as the ancients discovered to their cost. Something is happening to us. All of us. And it’s happening at the same time. We’ve lost our ability to solve our most dangerous problems: skyrocketing debt, terrorism, natural disasters, nuclear…
WE ARE AS GODS AND HAVE TO GET GOOD AT IT
(Link) Funny, this is what I said in Milan, and it was regarded as outlandish and farfetched there by several Politburo transhumanists. The shift that has happened in 40 years which mainly has to do with climate change. Forty years ago, I could say in the Whole Earth Catalog, “we are as gods, we might…

The Robot Revolution: Your Job May Be Next
Without a doubt, America has reached the age of the robot. In the past few years, hundreds of robotic breakthroughs have made headlines: unmanned planes, bots in space, dancing robots, self-driving cars, a Jeopardy-playing robot. Now, the President wants even more. Last month Obama announced the National Robotic Initiative, a commitment to invest $70 million…
This makes perfect sense
The Shape Of Things To Come
The Great Reset could take many forms. The only certain thing is that today’s profound political disunity and our destabilizing financial Plutocracy will force a crisis. Yesterday I laid out why the U.S. will inevitably experience The Great Reset. What comes after that systemic devolution/crisis is unknown, but we can speculate on the shape of…
I For One Welcome Our New Lagrange Overlords
I for one welcome the new secret plans of secret transnational entities to create a permanent and independent colonial presence in HEO or L4 within 5 years. In a few years the first private stuctures in space will be created – shortly after literally dozens of launches will take place. I know Alex Jones will…
The SunTzu Dilemma
The following is a simple challenge to anyone who assumes there will be radical progress in the near future, and who believes this (probably) will be good. In other words there are some in the technoprogressive community that still, to this very day, suggest that once we have MNT, widespread robotics, nanotechnology, widespread genetic technologies…
An epidemic of widespread retardation
We are facing an increasing segment of the population emphasizing ignorance, superstition, paranoid fantasies, superficiality, irrationality and whatnot. We won’t make it as a species. I mean seriously I am neck deep in the land of 3d6 facepalm.
