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…

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.

Face it we are headed for an oligarchic, elite-driven Singularity. We are all headed for the new death camps. *smirk*
Consequences of Economic Collapse

Seven Years of Peak Oil
It was just about this time four years ago that I first noticed the phrase “peak oil”. I don’t recall exactly where, but it had to have been a Jerome a Paris diary. I followed him to The Oil Drum and there I learned just how much trouble we faced. Everything I’ve done since then,…

Like a Rolling Stone
So you want me “politically correct” ? I can do that to. Once upon a time you paid for oil so fine You sold the arabs some subprime, didn’t you? People’d call, say, “Beware dollar, you’re bound to fall” You thought they were all kiddin’ you You used to laugh about Everybody that was hangin’…
Consumer Report
The formula is simple and you can do it too. Essentially you go into a supermarket and look for something revolting. This is generally a generic cheap brand product. You buy a few boxes or packages. Then make a video and put it on Youtube, say this channel. The videos should be somewhat objective and…

IMPORT Tax Now
I call on the EU to collect these taxes: 1 – the difference between wage costs in product that is imported versus wage costs of an equivalent product manufactured locally is unfair competition. I say tax it – and then send half that money back to the workers of China. So if a bike imported…

Post Democratic Sentiments
No coincidence – I am holding a “white rabbit” brainstorm with a very strong slant suggesting a fundamental crisis of western Democracy – this thursday the club of Amsterdam is holding a meeting where the theme is more or less “Democracy is Dead”. The problem is that this can be argued in both (incompatible) directions,…
