Being a perfectionist and not wanting something because it
is not a perfect complete entity means you get nothing
in the meantime–except a lot of waiting around for
drastic overhauls, which don’t come that often.I still say something is better than nothing.
And if it causes more problems later, then we’ll deal
with that later. We have to live in the present, not
worry so much about the future that it paralyzes us
to inactivity in the present. Make doable changes in
the present now, and let the future take care of itself;
it always does.S
February 12, 2010 at 3:12 pm #33254DogParticipantFigure out a way to make the USA conscious of the fact that they are responsible (have the power) for the actions of our corporations (sound familiar to the alchemical process). If I was a smart Lawyer, I might try and sue not the corporations but the states or Fed that hold the corporate charters for these Corporations that violate our agreed upon fairness or human rights. But people will just start to get more and more frustrated till it just shifts, we repeat a pattern till we get it. If you are going to be responsible get the power to.
February 12, 2010 at 3:14 pm #33256NnonnthParticipantGood to see you too!
I recommend looking into Transition Towns (link below) if you are interested in being prepared. Taoists of course have been through much of this kind of thing in their history and are used to seeing the world as cyclical.
‘Cataclysm’ may be a bit overstated though. Being a third world country simply means living roughly like most people do the world over. Some of the descent is obviously going to be bumpy in places, I don’t deny…
February 12, 2010 at 10:40 pm #33258StevenModeratorI don’t know that the “USA” has much power.
Too much bureacracy and red tape in government
has crippled any possible oversight.February 12, 2010 at 11:14 pm #33260StevenModeratorLucky for me that I spend almost one month a year in
a hermit retreat, so I’ve gotten used to the idea of
living a day-to-day life not continuously supplemented
by outside excesses.Cataclysm will come as people who are used to living
with entitlements refuse to give them up. Then
those people will create huge elaborate dog-and-pony shows
to get people riled up, as well as acting in irrational ways
–akin to the toddler screaming and bawling as a toy is
ripped from its hands and the toddler holding on for dear
life screaming “mine”. Too many old people/retired people
sucking off the government tits expecting to live a cushy
life just because they exist. Too many spoiled young people
bleeding off of their folks to maintain their hedonistic
lifestyle. Don’t underestimate the American sense of
entitlement burned into the genetic code. It is entrenched.S

The only problem with hydrogen is that it could still be regulated by companies if sold in gas stations.
Getting off the grid seems the best option. It is interesting that the electric car motor concept is modeled after an electricity amplifier…the same thing that this Australian guy claims to have developed:
http://www.lutec.com.au/index.htm
Interesting that theya re only available in Australia and NZ, but I wonder why they haven’t updated the website for 2 years. I would like to see the amplifier concept applied to the neutral-magnetic core electric motor!!! I think the more independent developers create their concepts, the more people will benefit, eventually something will catch on, hopefully in time for people to benefit.

>>>by companies if sold in gas stations.Yeah, that was what I was thinking with that
personal hydrogen generator that that
engineer/entrepreneur was promoting in that video.
You charge up several hydrogen “batteries” at home,
and bring them with you. Then you don’t need
service stations, i.e. buying hydrogen. The hydrogen
you got from simple water at home.>>>Interesting that theya re only available in

from 2006. That makes it sound like a dead end.>>>I would like to see the amplifier concept

Between efficient motors and efficient power sources,
there could be real progress . . .S
February 13, 2010 at 9:11 am #33266NnonnthParticipantWell, I’ll give you ‘cataclysm’ if you mean long Great Depressions (with all the undoubted) misery they entail, and ultimately the breakup of the Union, decline of industrial civilization over a century or two, etc. etc. Sure, it will involve some thinning of the human population.
But some are talking about ‘cataclysm’ as in pure permanent Mad Max or the End of Days… important to keep perspective. There’s a difference between a perfectly natural end to the civilizational lifecycle and Ragnarok.
February 13, 2010 at 10:12 am #33268StevenModeratorYes, by cataclysm, I don’t mean apocalypse. 🙂
My meaning was the former you mentioned . . .The realignment will probably end up being a good thing.
I’ve never believed that “buying crap” makes you a good citizen.
To me, the dependency on “buying” to keep the country going,
both on the country-level and on the individual level all
remind me of the qualities of a drug addiction. Buying creates
an artificial, empty high. Continuous buying must be maintained
to avoid “withdrawal”. Ever higher amounts of uncontrolled
spending are needed as “tolerance” develops. It’s junkie mentality.S
