One knows paw. The other knows sit. They do it if they feel like it. So it’s more about if they want to indulge us or not. They will return to whistle which is useful
Things change though. All major civilisations have collapsed. I’m sure the Romans said it couldn’t happen. The Aztecs the Greeks. Yet nothing lives for ever.
Only three things are true
Everything dies Politicians are corrupt Things come to an end
Stock market has been going up since it’s inception.it either has to stop at some point or monetary value loses all meaning. It already has and the market is fictional. Running on pure bullshit. Companies being valued at billions when they don’t even turn a profit. Unicorn’s are a dime a dozen. Systems fucked
Utterly incorrect actually. Most civilizations such as Pitcairn Island were in a vacuum. They died due to have no outside sources and they whittled down their resources until they wiped themselves out.
Most of the civilizations from my research were destroyed due to natural disaster and they weirdly cut down all their trees.
Centralization may be beneficial in our destruction or it may hasten it. Impossible to tell.
I think when more than if USA goes under the market has to die to be reborn. It’s currently just running in such an ethereal sense. It’s not functioning correctly and is basically the symbol of unfetted capitalism.
Tesla is the poster child for betting on speculation. It was set up as a tech company but is a car company and it will likely peter out once the fan boys have bought up all the cars. It can’t have infinite growth. No company can yet stock market requires infinite growth.
Weird how it how works. When it blows up it will be spectacular. It’s our version of civilization collapse
Absolutely. But we haven’t had a collapse with the entire planet In it’s current state. Unlikely it would be similar to previous collapses.
Potentially but if one thing blows up it impacts all others. 2008 crisis impacted all other nations. COVID encircled the globe. If and when the USA blows up it will pull down all other stock markets. They are worldwide so a contagion is going to impact others. Or so the theory goes.
You are thinking logically. Interestly the pitcairns watched as generations cut down all the trees. They actually removed their only way to escape the island. Similar to Easter island.
I’m not in charge of the trees. A giant conglomerate is and they want all the wealth and profit and couldn’t care less what happens after 50 years. That is our current predicament as humanity. Those who actually want change don’t have the power or capacity to stop Amazon from destroying the Amazon.
I’ll look up some information on that. It’s behaving irrational and not following a normal projectory. It keeps going up regardless of what is thrown at it. It’s no longer in sync with the banking sector or any sector. As long as pensions and systems keep putting money in it keeps going up. Valuation has no link to real actual outcomes. Debt and money are created out of thin air using valuations that are in any way linked to reality. It literally can’t stop going up because trillions of wealth is relying upon it that has no real backing in reality.
Easy example is evergrande. It relies on a similar system to current stock markets. It uses it’s “equity” valuation and future valuation of its product, homes. It then gets loans values on this and has to keep building houses to build more houses. If it stops building it can’t afford to pay for the previous house.
If house prices stop going up it can no longer service it’s debt and can’t get out of it’s debt. Sane as stock market. It’s fake. Numbers are moved shares move but they aren’t actually real. If for some reason shares were recalled the whole system would collapse as nothing is actually backed up with physical real shares. Sane as banking sector. Banks only require to have 10% cash on hand. Why a bank run is so terrifying.
USA dent is in the trillions and it can’t pay it back. Things need to keep running as it keeps the system going. If it stops for any reason then everything falters and breaks.
Basically my point was that what worked in the last isn’t necessarily going to work in the future. Markets were much simpler and a lot less interconnected. My belief is that the next humanity civilization disaster will be financial.
Fair enough. But that isn’t a civilization collapse. That’s a mutual destruction of two “super” powers. Lots of countries would be completely unaffected but most would get done level of contagion
