I agree that the pandemic, the disruptions to our global supply chains, and the resulting increase in prices has exacerbated political tensions everywhere.

This situation is further exacerbated by Vladimir Pooptard tryinta take over the world.

The tectonic plate situation is heating up, as well.

However, I don't believe these dangers will wipe us out.

Even in the very likely event of a tsunami that fulfills the somewhat less likely scenario of unearthing another pandemic, more than half of us will live.

Picture it. Close to half of the world's population was born in my lifetime.

My formula for avoiding the global problems (not catastrophic, but yes, bad) that will hit us in the next 50 years is to start getting used to off grid living, and to avoid the red zones on ^^ this map.

I would also urge everybody to avoid the areas where Putin has threatened to drop his nukes. Funny, I don't believe he'll drop nukes on Ukraine, but I do believe he'll drop that one off the coast of England that he's been threatening. Stay in central England, people. Avoid the coasts until that whackjob dies.

I think the rest of Europe might be ok... well they won't get nuked, at least. 

DC, NYC, LA, and anywhere in the continental US where there is a military base, or well known nuclear silo might also be at risk.

 

I'm in the perfect place to wait out the apocalypse, assuming no ginormous space rocks slam into us this century. (I'm also watching the sky, more bc I enjoy looking at the stars than worries about meteors, so I'm prepared for that, too  :))

The Ruzzians don't give any actual fucks about Canada, except maybe as a way to make some Americans cry. (Remember when the Ruzzians tortured the zoo animals as they left Kherson and strung up their little corpses where the Ukrainians would be sure to find them? If they come for Canada that's how they'll do it, so I'll be prepared  :D) In the highly unlikely event that they do decide to nuke us, only 4 places could look remotely attractive to them. Ottawa Parliament, Toronto, including the airport and the military base, Calgary oil, and maaaaybe Hamilton steel. I highly doubt they'll nuke us, but I do plan to stay away from those places until Pooptard dies.

 

And food. Yes and yes  :)

Strawberries will grow in a purse lol and potatoes will grow in a bucket.

My recent incident with the system witholding my money for no good reason has shown me that those assholes are not to be trusted. And I thoroughly despise soup kitchens. So this will be the year that I figure out indoor farming  :)

I eat potatoes, tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and sometimes peas. Unfortunately, most of my favourite fruits are tropical, or grow on trees, or both. So I'm pretty much stuck with strawberries and blueberries if I want to be self sufficient.

Got me a rockin new sewing machine last time I had money. Imma put that baby to use, as well.

But the bunnies  :'(   They're the perfect apocalypse food, and I do plan to start learning about hunting and skinning very soon, so I can breed them for meat. But they're so cute  :'(  I may put the bunny farm off until next year.

 

 

Maybe I'll try hunting deer soon.

Check out the young buck up the middle. The first one on the vid. Great muscle tone on that little guy.

He'll probably be delicious by next year  :)

Yes.

Life is kinda pointless without any children. I heard Tate say that once, and it's true man.  At 45 I feel kinda different. My immune system probably isn't the same, I'll have to be more careful, start getting checked out to prevent early death. It's pretty freaky.

Aside from that, it's usually women who ask the same question "where will they be in 5 years". And everytime what matters is how successful they are, or if the man can buy expensive shit. That's all it is. 

If you're a multi billionaire people will never ask where will you be in the next 5 years, because what difference will it make if you're still filthy rich ? Right ?

People don't ask this question to find you're poor and working for charity, then give you merit for that. 

I don't know any multi billionaires, but that's a fair point.

I'd say I'm an exception to that rule. I've never cared about money. I treat it like it's a toy, I'm pretty sure I'm going to give it all away on a whim some day. I mostly find it annoying if people appreciate me for what I've done as opposed to who I am. Yesterday, after several years, my mother found out that I am employed as a professor at a University. She's never cared about physics, what I had to say about it, what I did, for over a decade, including when she kicked me out of the house or when I was starving at the University as a student. But she does now care that I work as a professor, even though she doesn't know what that means.

I still feel like I've achieved nothing, there are still so many things I want to do.

 

He will be significantly different in five years' time. Unlike the two others, I see Spatial as someone who has dreams. There's no way he'll be the same in 5 years' time.

 Dreams really come true, and it's been the case with everyone. People are willing to settle, or they say "I can't get a good job" but just saying that is an affirmation or a command. Then they have their 9 to 5 job that they hate, meanwhile they are the ones who said "I will get a job" before they went and got one.

(...)

See, this is why I say that you'll be somewhere different in 5 years. You take action to chase dreams. Not many people would start a mining ring or stick to their goals. It requires some kind of faith.

Most of the people here, I see as dream-less. They don't believe they can do things, or don't care. And that's fine. Not everyone needs to chase grand things.

I think you got lucky to some degree. For every person who makes a successful investment, there is a person who loses money. I do think you would've "made it" even if you were unsuccessful with your ethereum. I really believe if you want something hard enough, you get it.

 do you think i'm dreamless?

Do you think that?

I understand how this may be the majority view. Do you see things that way?

 Yes.

I'll tell you this about me, 5 years ago.

You all knew me as you do 5 years ago, in 2017. I said, "I don't want to work". In the summer of 2017 I was playing this game called 1000 wives or something like that. It basically was a number counter game that would go up endlessly. I thought to myself, Man, I wish I can have numbers on the screen show up and make money like that. Being enthusiastic about PC building, I found a youtube video of a mining rig. I thought wtf is this ? this guy has 8 GPU's on a build. I saw he was making money. It is Ethereum, what is Ethereum I googled. It's a cryptocurrency. What is cryptocurrency ? Bitcoin !? Shit was 3 grand, when I first head of Bitcoin it was 3 cents. 

So I said, yes, I will do this mining thing, oh yes I will, it's not cheap to start off but it will pay for itself, and I did my research

I enjoyed documenting this. That Mother bord in the center is thee, H110 Pro BTC+. I lucked out and the shop had 1 left. That board is made to handle up to 13 GPU's the best at what it does in my opinion. There's one that goes to 18 GPU's I think, but that is too much for power reasons.

Posted Image

I showed all of you what I was doing. Showing off that Radeon Card. 1 of 27.

Band new. The gaming community hated me. Same with some of the store employees. I was only allowed to buy 2 at a time, but the second those GPU's came in, I'd swoop in like a vulture and snatch 2 at a time, sometimes I'd manage 4 in a day.

Some more of this ^ Above capacity but I'm happy.

I took my old Phenom build and turned it into a rats nest, used for testing new GPU's and I also used it to flash the bios for mining. I was high on life. You know when you can smell something nice just around the corner ?

Parts from China took awhile to come in, the risers. I thinking to myself at the time most of the world doesn't even know about this, I'm still early. And it's true, I totally was.

Posted Image 

I designed the frame myself and chopped up the metal at a friend's machine shop. When the machine came to life, I then had to learn how to use the mining software, which only took a day, but it did take weeks to optimize so it would run stable.

I also had at my disposal, and brand new unused industrial unit. There's the panel box, and you might notice it doesn't even have any plugs set it. This place was raw. I decided I won't do it becauseAm I really that different than I was 5 years ago ? A whole lot of you would suggest I am. I made a pretty penny in front of you, and in the next bull run 2024. I can't even say what I'm going to be worth, but because of how I make money a dollar is worth more to me than it is to other people. Right now I seriously believe in my heart, that $1 is worth $10,000 at the least. That's my expectation.

Time comes, I sell. And now I'll do shit like buy that Tesla I've always wanted. I can have the Tesla now, but again $1 has too much potential for me to go and buy a car that will cost me a quarter million in income taxes and sales taxes and the retail price.

5 years from now, I'm 50 years old, I'm either feeling like shit or I'm a health nut pressed for time, then some hater will ask, Where will you be in 5 years. Doesn't matter. What seems to matter is if the world has opened up to you, and it does so if you've accumulated a fortune. 

It's not the material things that matter in life. It's the people. The people keep us. We're going to look back and think about the people, not the things before we die. As men it'll be about what we did for them.

If a man can't deliver, then what's the point of his existence ?

For all I know I could end up being an older Father, and that will be easy to do. If my GF doesn't want to give me one, then I'll find one. Just some normal broad. Maybe she'll rip me in half, but at least I'll get my kids. Life could be very empty in 5 years. 

 Society isn’t going to last that long. I’d at least prep for the end before saving. You’ll need food, water bottles, and actual seeds and stuff to plant stuff in your house or wherever you end up. Trust me dude, the end is here. Don’t try to save money, you won’t need it. You’ll need food and stuff. 

 I'll keep doing what I do till the end. Also I've been on holiday since the December 2021, but I'm ready for the 2024 run I'm going hard on 1 project, I think I'll be done trading for life after that, just buy assets and go long. As for the Mining rigs, I have new plans for them. I want to use them for machine learning ( multiple GPU's are used for advanced Ai )

It could still be decades before the end comes. When the world turns to shit, I'll want to die.

Hopefully finding an angle to support society in some way. It'd be a pity if TC didn't become a shrink. 

2. Chapo

I don't see much area for social mobility, so the best case scenario is Chapo keeps the status quo. 

3. Spatial Mind

 Harder to predict, as he has money. Spatial will be the same person, but richer, and hopefully some new project to chew on.

Wow someone who thinks I won’t be in prison or dead at the age of 36. Thanks bro. I appreciate that. I honestly don’t think I’ve shown much evidence that those things are absolutely true at all. If there is one thing Chapo is known for, it is getting out of incarceration when it seems quite unlikely, and a knowledge of drugs. He also doesn’t really seem to die easily.

 do you think i'm dreamless?

Dream traveller, perhaps. You travel in other people's dreams.

Are you always naked in your dreams and do you have a partner girl in the nude who has identical tits with you, standing next to you, and do you fondle her tits? If so, it is confirmed. You are a dream traveler.

On a serious note, yes. Even after years of being here, I barely know you, because you're afraid of being vulnerable, and people like that don't dream for long. You don't dream. I could be wrong. I'd like for people to have dreams, but they don't, past a certain age, which makes me feel lonely. But you have other redeeming qualities

I live for my dreams. The word holds different value to me. That's not to say you can't be perfectly happy and not have dreams. There's nothing wrong with being dreamless. Having dreams is lonely.

I see turncoat clutching his Doctorate, staring into my eyes, while tied to my bedposts in excited anticipation of what’s coming next.

(While I slowly caress my whip)

Afterwards, he’ll beg for more but I’ll set the pace. Maybe we’ll just chew on sour gummies while walking the dog and laughing at how beautiful life is (before I tie him to the radiator again).
