  64. I WROTE THIS 2 YEARS AGO - TELL ME ITS WRONG...??? The balance has been tipped; there is no money left in the working class, they are in debt up to their eyeballs so now it is time for the elites to start eating the middle class. The lower value houses are to go to repossession auction at a bargain price and be gifted to the grandchildren of the Etonians as rental income properties and the smaller farmers are to be bought at bankruptcy auction to enlarge the estates of the landowners and Tory donors. To do this you are hacking into your voter base, but it must be done to keep funnelling money and assets to the top. You can lie to the red wall - that will get you so far. But ultimately "democracy" has to go. You CAN NOT continue to win elections, no matter how twisted the system, when Tory voters are losing houses and farms. So "democracy" has to go - or the system can no longer FEED. And the ONLY purpose of the Tory party is to FEED the system. And the system has one purpose, funnel ever-increasing wealth to the top. Brexit is a vehicle to move assets from the middle class to the elites. They dont care if the economy crashes, they have more money than they can ever spend - they are insulated. A nice BIG CRASH that devalues property and bankrupts farms is GREAT...! They can snap them up. Cos the thing the elites of the UK know is money is meaningless when you have enough of it - CAPITAL ASSETS is what builds and maintains generational wealth. That is why the price of houses and land are so high right now, they are converting cash money into capital assets at a rate never seen in history. So they NEED a crash to bring the price down whilst they snap it all up... The collapse IS THE POINT, its snouts in the trough for the next grotesque gorging of British assets. So they HAVE to go the Tories. Not must go; HAVE TO GO or the UK will never be a democracy again in our lifetimes and the life of the working person will be that of a peasant.

  223.  @markwelch3564  Im not an economist, I'm an author on psychology and the collapse of civilisations. So I cant tell you what to do to build the economy but I can tell you that no amount of Labour is going to transform things for at least 8 years and more likely 15. The UK is in a situation called "interconnected cascading systems failure" Everything is broken, everything you need to fix it is broken and everything you do makes the situation worse. ON TOP of which you have Ai - and that is going to radically change the world and work and we have no idea how it will change it so we cant even make a PLAN. The UK relies on banking, legal, insurance, media as major revenue generators and these are the very industries that will be most impacted by AI - will we have 20% unemployment or 35%...??? or 5% We literally DO NOT KNOW. UBI will be a necessity but then you have to jack up corporation tax to 75% to pay for it, so companies will just flee the first countries that introduce it, but if you dont introduce UBI then there is literally NO MONEY in the system for people to buy stuff...!!! The UK is in the worst of all possible positions at the worst of all possible times - this is the economic equivalent of having Boris Johnson in charge when a pandemic hits. Every other country in the west has a basically OK economy, they are not fundamentally BROKEN, so they can take it step by step and see what Ai brings and adapt. But the UK has to make VERY RADICAL CHANGES cos the economy is utterly broken, the entire country is utterly broken, so Labout have to literally GUESS and then invest hundreds of billions of borrowed £££ on an absolute blind guess. If they get it right - the UK simply does not totally collapse into Argentinian levels of chaos. If they get it wrong the UK will make Agentena look like paradise. We have to bet the farm and the mortgage on the farm on a total guess and HOPE...!!!

  471.  @Hdcrxycloid-o1y  No they do - QUOTE: "Ritual as a response to anxiety Anthropologists have long observed that people across cultures tend to perform more rituals in times of uncertainly. Stressful events such as warfare, environmental threat and material insecurity are often linked with spikes in ritual activity. In a laboratory study in 2015, my colleagues and I found that under conditions of stress people’s behavior tends to become more rigid and repetitive – in other words, more ritualized. The reason behind this propensity lies in our cognitive makeup. Our brain is wired to make predictions about the state of the world. It uses past knowledge to make sense of current situations. But when everything around us is changing, the ability to make predictions is limited. This causes many of us to experience anxiety." ---§--- I have lots and lots more on this - ceremony and ritual is a very deep and fundamental part of the human psychology, we now on a superficial level - as in this paragraph - but we dont know the evolutionary role that led to it. We are even beginning to believe that we were wrong about the birth of civilisation - its now thought that hunter-gatherers gathered together for ceremony and then became sedentary around the areas of the ritual and that led to the planting of crops and NOT the other way around. We are also starting to believe that human bodies developed to contain the bacteria in our stomachs, arms to feed the bacteria, legs to move the arms to the food source and a barin to seek it out. In other words - there is a LOT we don't fully understand about humans.

  1482.  @mcarpenter2917  Yes but you will have to dig for it. "Andrew D. Huberman is an American neuroscientist and associate professor in the Department of Neurobiology at the Stanford University School" has a podcast, he has several that tackle ADHD and in one of them he cited the paper that has this research in it. "suspect the massive increase of cases is just a medicalization of childhood" this is definitely a factor. there is a huge amount of evidence that behavioural problems and mental health problems expend to fill the diagnosis created for them in the DSM-5. Personally, I hate the DSM-5 with a passion - I believe it to be a tool of the American pharma industry to prescribe expensive drugs and nothing more... In the 1800 ADHD did not exist - why? 1) there was no diagnosis for it for starters 2) a kid with lots of energy was given a hammer and told to bang out horse shoes for a few hours, they were lauded as a great worker 3) almost all mental health problems are actually a "inability to fit in with desired socially expected behaviour" so ADHD was NOT a thing before you expected kids to sit at a desk all day in school, as soon as you did - you had "ADHD" . Interestingly - here in Bulgaria the kids do exercises in the sun outside every morning before class, to work off some of that energy and allow them to sit still... So I would argue, as would Huberman, that ADHD in kids is not really a "thing". HOWEVER, my comment was "You are 700% MORE likely to have ADHD as an adult if you are a gamer in your teens" the inability to concentrate and have a decent attention span as an adult is a genuine problem in modern society. Is it an illness - in my opinion no, its a dopamine receptor downregulation problem. This is why gaming is so problematic, its FREE unearned dopamine...

  1483.  @andrewillsley6595  - I'm literally an author on psychology writing a book called "The Dopamine Paradox" EDIT - copied form my other answer: In the 1800 ADHD did not exist - why? 1) there was no diagnosis for it for starters 2) a kid with lots of energy was given a hammer and told to bang out horse shoes for a few hours, they were lauded as a great worker 3) almost all mental health problems are actually a "inability to fit in with desired socially expected behaviour" so ADHD was NOT a thing before you expected kids to sit at a desk all day in school, as soon as you did - you had "ADHD" .

This is why gaming is so problematic, its FREE unearned dopamine... ---§--- And there is your problem - its FREE UNEARNED DOPAMINE. It is downregulating the dopamine receptors and this is the core of "ADHD" in kids. It keep them calm cos the hyperactivity if self-medicating with dopamine, give them computer games and they get dopamine so they stay still. The same reason as giving them amphetamine makes them sit still.

  1487.  @andrewillsley6595  - Im sorry - you can think i am rude as hell if you want - But I just don't have time to go through hundreds of pages of handwritten notes to find the reference to a single study. I'm not writing a book about gaming, its a tiny side note. but lets be clear - I never said computer gaming causes ADHD. What causes ADHD is having a dopamine regulation/sensitivity problem. ADHD is a behaviour. That behaviour is a dopamine-seeking behaviour. For whatever reason, the brain has either a lack of dopamine OR an insensitivity to dopamine. Almost always the latter. The running around, the jumping from one thing to the next, the arguing, the thrill-seeking, the doom scrolling, the playing games - all of these are dopamine-providing activities. If you give that person dopamine they will calm down, cos they have the dopamine they need. You can administer this dopamine by giving them the precursor - Levodopa, by giving them amphetamine like Ritalin, or by letting them play Call of Duty. So - computer games do NOT cause ADHD, but what they do is they re-enforce this dopamine downregulation cycle. The more dopamine you have, the less sensitive to dopp[amine your brain becomes, the more you need dopamine. And they are a very strong re-enforcer of this vicious cycle. "The dopamine Paradox" is the more you have ADHD, the worse the problem, the less likely you are to be able to control the problem. Cos the way you control ADHD most effectively is TO LIVE A VERY BORING LIFE. You need to reset your dopamine receptors. Im not writing a book on the science of the neurological system, Im writing a behavioural handbook to managing ADHD in adults. QUOTE: (that would only work if they were not hyper to begin with and then you gave them computer games- after a perod of time on games- they then became hyper) - they literally do, and that period of time is over months and years the free [or none traditionally obtained] dopamine downregulates the receptors and makes them more hyper on the long timescale. Thats the point. The easiest way to "cure" ADHD is to lock someone in a cabin in the woods for 2 months with no electronics or anything - not even electric light. They get up when the sun comes up, they are bored all day long and they go to bed when the sun goes down. A tiny number this will not help - and they have a dopamine PRODUCTION problem, but this is very rare. OK - I have to work now. Bye.

  1571.  @chrism7969  Most of the people I know or have spoken to are Chinese, but they are not in business. They are either academics or just workers/artisans. I suppose like all countries - experiences may vary. My next book is to be an ironic look at the UK taken to its natural conclusion. Its called 1930 as a working title. The UK has voted to leave the modern world and indeed time - it will live forever in 1930 with steam trains and compulsery cricket on Sundays. The population is divided into the descendants of those who owned rental property in 2020 and through a logical extension of the system now own ALL property and the rest of society who are born into serfdom of a 200 year rental contract. Meanwhile, America has become "The United Corporations Of America" where slavery is legal again in the anarco-capitalist hell hole and the rest of the world is run by China where everything works perfectly, they have solved climate change and nuclear fusion, cities are perfect, no one wants for anything BUT every minute of your day is controlled by the system. It tells you when to walk, where to go, what to eat, it organises meetings with your friends, tells you when to go to the gym, everything. Its all done for maximum health and happiness - but you have zero say in your life. The book is MOSTLY about the UK the rest is background. But the basic concept is what is freedom - each of the three societies thinks they have freedom. Brexit style freedom, for the UK, capitalist freedom for America and freedom from work and worry for the rest of the Chinese world.

  1644.  @sobeit1927  I have edited my comment as re reading it I had not made it clear - [per capita as it were]. Not in absolute terms, but per vehicle it is 18X more likely to be a petrol car than an EV,. Now we have to caveat this, America doesn't have an MOT or a technical test, their cars are absolute junk. So I'm sure the figure will be much closer to one-to-one in the EU. "We do seem to be experiencing a lot of EV fires". I would argue EV fires are just making the news because fossil fuel companies pay for the news in advertisements and therefore call the tune. But EV fires are way more devastating when they happen, and we need to develop ways of dealing with them and ways of preventing them I don't deny that at all.. "regardless of what started the fire , EV’s surely burned out of control". The Swedish Fire Brigade have developed a blanket that you just two men pull over the car leave it for 24 hours, and it smothers the Fire - the idea they create their own. Oxygen is a little bit of a misnomer QUOTE: The lithium mixed oxides lithium cobalt oxide (LCO), lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) and lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide (NCA), which are frequently used as cathode material, can release oxygen because of internal structural rearrangements.\ But we are moving away from cobalt oxide batteries because it's expensive and unethically mined *I suspect you too are buying into propaganda only from pro EV sources*. NO I am an author, I only work from primary sources, government statistics, et cetera et cetera. I'm the sad guy that actually checked the citations, goes to the original document and read the original document.

  1675.  @leehorrocks5253  - I should write a short book about my story. Ill summarise. My mate thought it would be funny to send the 1kg of amino acids [we had gone halves on the tub] in the post to me wrapped like a brick of coke from a Miami Vice movie. The post office were suspicious so they called the cops, the cops xrayed the package and it was powder but they NEVER tested it, just assumed it was coke. So like your mate - 6am they did a sting operation wiht a fake postal worker, smashed down the door like a swat team and 20 officers [unarmed - no guns] burst in. They handcuffed me to a chair naked. They searched the house whilst calling me s(um. took me off to the police station and charged me with drug trafficking. The appointed lawyer was amazing. She said TELL THEM NOTHIG, so not speak a word cos they are not here to help you, if they cant get you on this - they will keep talking to you until they get you on something else. I got home, they had emptied the house of everything worth more than about £100 as "proceeds of crime" so I had no TV, no microwave, no computer NOTHING, 3 months later they had to admit it was amino acids - BUT they had "found" half a tablet of something down the back of the sofa, this was total BS as the sofa was brand new - it had arrived the Tuesday, this was the Saturday. This, according ot the solicitor, was so I could not sue them for wrongful arrest. They cautioned me for this. AMYWAY my big mistake was laughing at them as they handed me all my stuff back - this made them even ore angry - these guys 100% thought they were getting a promotion out f this "bust" After that I was pulled by the police every time I left the house, they pulled every friend that came to visit and did them for a cracked light or a worn tire, in the end my friends stopped visiting as they didn't want the agro. It was a big factor in my decision to leave the UK, not the only one, but a big one.

  1685.  @raymondwebb4179  - Well actually I think it is... I wrote this 2 years ago... The balance has been tipped; there is no money left in the working class, they are in debt up to their eyeballs so now it is time for the elites to start eating the middle class. The lower value houses are to go to repossession auction at a bargain price and be gifted to the grandchildren of the Etonians as rental income properties and the smaller farmers are to be bought at bankruptcy auction to enlarge the estates of the landowners and Tory donors. To do this you are hacking into your voter base, but it must be done to keep funnelling money and assets to the top. You can lie to the red wall - that will get you so far. But ultimately "democracy" has to go. You CAN NOT continue to win elections, no matter how twisted the system, when Tory voters are losing houses and farms. So "democracy" has to go - or the system can no longer FEED. And the ONLY purpose of the Tory party is to FEED the system. And the system has one purpose, funnel ever-increasing wealth to the top. Brexit is a vehicle to move assets from the middle class to the elites. They dont care if the economy crashes, they have more money than they can ever spend - they are insulated. A nice BIG CRASH that devalues property and bankrupts farms is GREAT...! They can snap them up. Cos the thing the elites of the UK know is money is meaningless when you have enough of it - CAPITAL ASSETS is what builds and maintains generational wealth. That is why the price of houses and land are so high right now, they are converting cash money into capital assets at a rate never seen in history. So they NEED a crash to bring the price down whilst they snap it all up... ---§--- I dont think any of this is an accident.

  1696.  @thejupiter2  - YES - Bring on communism. I LIVE in an ex-communist country in an ex-communist apartment block. You know how much my heating bill is £ZERO cos it was built with passive heating and cooling cos thats good for the people. If you have kids under school age they deliver hot fresh food to your door every morning. In the recent general election 75% of people alive under communism voted for the communist party. And the reason I want to ban reality TV, large lottery wins and casinos in deprived areas is because I am an author on psychology and the collapse of civilisations and I KNOW how unbelievably abusive and predatory these things are. if you ONLY hope of a decent life is winning the lottery - YES COMMUNISM - NO TO THE LOTTERY. "deprived areas are too stupid and irresponsible to decide for themselves how to live their miserable lives." Sadly YES. Its not their fault, if they were educated well and had a better environment and didnt have the terrible stressors that being poor places on you then they would be less susceptible to making terrible life choices. But they dont, and giving them the lie that they can improve their lives through gambling is simply ABUSE. EDIT: How do I know poor people living in a terrible environment make sh!t decision - I USED TO BE a poor person living in sh!t conditions and I used to deal with it in one of the classic ways - alcohol. Thankfully for me there had been a lot of gambling addiction in my family so I knew what level of destruction THAT caused, seeling my uncle in hospital after the loan sharks attacked him with shovels. "That should be the preserve of the rich and middle classes only" - and this I have only just seen - it shows a catastrophic lack of understanding. Its NOT about denying poor people pleasure dumb dumb. Its about preventing companies from predating on their wretched situation for profit. Selling them the lie that gambling, that appearing on reality TV, that a bottler of whisky can solve their problems. These things DONT WORK on middle class and wealthy people cos THEY ARE NOT POOR AND DESPERATE - that WHY they build casinos in economically deprived areas cos middle-class people dont go to casinos cos they are not broke and desperate. DOH. Your inability to identify the problem and take it as elites wanting to deny poor people pleasure is kinda proof of your earlier statement "deprived areas are too stupid and irresponsible to decide for themselves how to live their miserable lives." When what we really want is for there to BE NO POOR people and to stop companies from predating on the ones we have until we abolish poverty. BTW - China - communist country 0.6% proveryt rate - UK capitlaist country 22% poverty rate in 2021, set to be 50% in 2023

  1759.  @juan_martinez524  - OK - I have to put you both right cos I recently traced the etymology of the word "woke" for a book I'm writing. "Woke" was first used to describe people "awake" to the fact there is a systemic privilege in society and its systems for one group over another. As this included say "Eton boys getting all the top jobs and govt positions" this was a very dangerous concept for the right wing. So they did what they always do - they adopted the word and redefined it to mean something else - as they did with "private property" in the context of Marx. To be "woke" was a terrible sin and it meant you believed all sorts of crazy nonsense that almost no one actually believed but you can always find a blue haired nutter to go on TV and say dumb stuff and "PROOF the WOKE are all evil nut jobs and can we stop talking about this distorted privilege in society cos that might appeal to a LOT of people who are not us cos we ARE the rich white male privileged ones in question" Almost NO ONE is actually "woke" in the way it is portrayed in the media - its NOT A THING - it was a very dangerous idea that they wanted to stamp out ASAP. In the same way "private property" does not mean the communists are coming for your toothbrush - thats personal property. And at the time everyone knew this. But the media owners adopted the words and redefined it and created a scare that the commies were after your toothbrush. Its amazing what you can DO when you OWN the media - this is WHY they own the media!!! You have been had by people who want you to hate the left and stop thinking about why you are poor...

  1828.  @nightowl7459  - American exports are not plunging, Turkish exports are not plunging - it's Brexit you dumb dumb. Turky has a leader that has screwed up the economy in a different way and America hs printed $12trillion of new money - DIFFERENT PROBLEMS Your problem is Brexit - the reason its blamed on Brexit is cos its BREXIT. One day you will have to face up to the reality YOU MADE A MASSIVE - GALACTIC - UNIMAGINABLY STUPID - CATASTROPHIC MISTAKE. One day. I don't care - I don't live in your collapsing sh!t hole of a dump and the Irish and the Scots are getting out ASAP. I wrote this the other month - its dedicated to you. IM ENGLISH - England deserves to be alone, forsaken by the other parts of the union. Alone in its pathetic racist future in the 1950's or whenever it is they fantasise about, ruled over by posh toffs from Eton in the way that makes them feel secure and that all is well with the world. Slaving 20 hours a day down the Bitcoin Mine if they are lucky and thanking the Indian mine owner for the privilege... England has NEVER gotten over the loss of the empire, it seeps through our veins, only lanced by emigration and not to an enclave of Little England in Spain. It is utterly tragic to observe from afar. The desperation to still feel part of something special is as obvious to outsiders as a fresh dog sh!t in your living room, and about as appealing... Its a desperation so strong they voted for Brexit - economic doom but the chance to feel like the big boy again for a few fleeting moments before they die. Like a drug addict committing suicide with a known overdose, unable to face the reality of the world they inhabit - but determined to go out on one last high…

  1904.  @dixgun  - I honestly dont know what Putin's strategy is. You DONT invade Ukraine in March - Over here we have very hard winters and "March Mud" the frost denatures the ground and it turns to liquid mud, you don't even walk your dog on it...!!! This is something everyone knows, its no mystery. So why did he do it...? It was the single dumbest thing he could have done as they could only travel by road, so they would be picked off - as they were. Its so dumb I have to think something is affecting his mental state. Xi is Chinese and the Chinese take a generational view of things, so he will definitely be looking to the situation in 30 years and not benefiting in the next 30 months. Im writing a book actually the concept you may like - post climate catastrophe China takes over the world except for the USA and the UK. The UK decides to cut off from the rest of the world and live permanently in 1930 with steam trains and white picket fences and compulsory cricket on Sundays. You are either a tenant [peasent] or Landlord class. The USA is actually the United Corporations Of America as an anarcho-capitalist hell hole with slavery. And the rest of the world under China is incredibly well run and everyone is happy, but everything you do every moment of the day counts towards your Social Credit Score. You just have to be a good person, that's all. But every aspect of your life is monitored and controlled, the steps you do, the calories you eat, the time you spend on social media etc etc. Its basically takes the three systems/ideologies to their logical conclusion - the idea is to discuss "what is freedom" America you are free to do anything in the pursuit of profit Britain is free from any interference from the rest of the world The Chinese world is free from hunger and worry Yet none of them are "free"
