I don't blame men for not wanting to voluntarily enslave themselves to the whims of women and the whips of government.
Unless the goal of having/raising a family with a male husband is again a more desirable goal for women than fake hair,
fake eyelashes, fake nails, fake breasts, and tattoos, the society will have great difficulty restoring a real high 'standard'
of living. No one deserves to be punished by law for making bad decisions about their personal life, but there must be
some way to encourage the return to traditional roles that result in raising more rational human beings with goals that
are good for their personal success while also contributing to a desirable society.

Better to have savings with a purpose, i.e., retirement independence; savings that also provide funding to the
breakthroughs that improve quality of life (via the SCi-Fi world you mention.)
Take away banking's free credit creation (and bailouts) and force them to do productive work in order to profit.
The banking cartel has been the actual existential threat to individual liberty for at least 112 years in America
(and for centuries elsewhere.)

FFA, we are totally in agreement.
The problem is that it is NOT 100% natural.
Globalism produced the lowest possible prices across the board.
Yes, people have "things" without purpose.

Japan will collapse as a nation in 2 more generations (40-60 years). They are giving away houses for free!

I would rather have my society collapse from a lack of people than survive from excess immigration of the kind we were being offered. Values matter.

The other side, which we cannot see... Is Sci-Fi World. We will find out in our life times. This is the breakthrough type society where people don't have to work, but can find purpose doing what they want. Where the AI is benevolent and redesigns things to be safer, easier and giving us plenty to do, that gives us purpose. Plenty of challenges NOT involving spending money, and seeking dopamine online.

When I retire, soon enough, I will be getting rid of my cellphone. I will switch from Windows to Linux (I develop Windows software for now). I will likely give my time to projects that mean something to me, and set some personal goals at the gym. Spend more time in the community... Building the community.

You nailed it!

We were too young and we trusted our government not to kill us - BIG mistake :-( One of my younger brothers lies in a veterans cemetery thanks to Agent Orange

I understand your point, Abaco, but I think you're being too hard on yourself. We--those of us here, and other likeminded people--are doing what we can NOT to leave them this mess. It's the Obliviots (as Neal Boortz called them) that are leaving this mess. All we can do at this point is watch; I don't think there are enough of us to stop it.

Just had my memory partially jogged. Me dino knows that you equates your mindless zombies with my lemmings and Ayn Rand's sheeple who can't see past what jackasses tell them to see.
All you did was make me think of a zombie apocalypse and what I heard some tinhorn politician said on TV about one of those about a decade or more ago.
Sorry I can't recall the who, the where or the why.
All I can recall is the dude on some news show so seriously facing the camera to say, "The zombie apocalypse is not an if but a when."
Me dino mocked that idiot with unpitying hard laughter like I rarely ever had before.
Must admit I've found some few zombie movies to be very entertaining. Maybe when younger I shoulda run for office.
My credentials woulda been simple~~I can tell the difference between fiction and realty. And so can me dino.

1 in 4 women, approximately. Might as well start putting it in the water....

Haha...hope not! I used to work with a guy who had a PhD in chemistry. I could read any chemical on a food label and he knew, off the top of is head, how it damages the body. In the following years I've watched a few older gentlemen I know die from agent orange and I'm sure that it can't be classified as a "mistake" or even an unplanned circumstance that all these people have been damaged. They knew what it would do, certainly. And...They didn't care.

I agree with you.
But I don't see that a lower population is a problem; instead it may be one solution
if done naturally, and assuming that the decline is reversed naturally.
On standard of living, does a return to one stay at home parent and a less extravagant
(but still workable) house size really a lower standard of living?
imo, that's only in the mind of the person who is an addicted, brainwashed consumer,
enslaved by debt service to the banking cartel (for housing and useless education)
and to the government taxation of housing.
How much of the current 'standard of living' is for useful necessity and how much is
for uneconomic rubbish? How much more useful is a $1,200 new cellphone compared
to a cellphone that is 3 years old (that today can be purchased for $200)?
I have thought for a quarter century that people would be better off with deflation
to actual utility value (and products that last and can be repaired) than never ending
inflation (and false expansion of the throw-away economy.)

Well, yes, adding women almost doubled the workforce. Then created DAY CARES.

Gave more brainwashing to the kids.

We have more cars, more roads, more buildings.
We have more military.

But we have more useless government bottom feeders. Far more corruption.

And it is the specialization of labor that will hurt the most. A farmer was valuable because he was a JACK of all trades. From economics, to labor, to small engine repair, making a still, caring for animals, caring for the land, building irrigation systems.

Show me a modern man, who is not a farmer that has those skills... BELOW the age of 50? Good luck.

As the number of Cellphones sold cuts in half, prices will continue to double. Our standard of living will drop. Mark my words. And I can't say it will be good or bad.

For me it was Agent Orange, I'm paying for it today, a 100% disabled rating. It didn't effect my mind however, or did it?

Yup. The thinking man's worst nightmare, an army of mindless zombies devouring everything in it's path with no reason or purpose. Just like the locusts in Africa.

Unfortunately, you can't fix stupid.

Abaco, it's going to work out. You'll never believe what's going to happen, but it's incredible. I want to get my book out before events overrun. Keep the faith!

Don't forget the 60 million Americans (adults and children) on psychotropic (reality-altering) drugs, most of them prescribed.

So do I. Sometimes, I catch myself with my hands over my face in terror...."Oh no. Oh no..."

Well said. I use the term "quietly knowing" to explain my position. But...I do appreciate when people just stand up and stonewall openly about this crap.

Yep. To all of this. Yep...

Why was there not such an issue when the population of the USA was about 160 million?
Are many necessary jobs now done with machines that require less human employees, not more?
Were the young people in the 1950-1960's more willing to work and produce?
Are there so many more vital jobs now than there were in that era that we need twice the number of workers now?
Is it that half the work force now is women (and wimps) that can't (or won't) do the hard work?
Do we really need millions more workers to care for the elderly who have no families to care for them now?
Is a higher population really only needed to be consumers of the crap that keeps parasites wealthy?
I don't know the answers to these questions, but I'd like to understand why the US can't be a success
with half the current population again. Until then, I don't see this as any threat.

This post originally disappeared so I rewrote it from memory.
Me dino comes back and now they are both here.
Well, hell's bells! I'm not deleting one. The other may disappear again!

There are manifold reasons why Americans are getting dumber. In no particular order:
> HYDROFLUOROSILICIC ACID In your drinking water.
> Seed oils.
> Toxic preservatives.
> Roundup (glyposate) sprayed on almost everything grown in America.
> A host of chemicals and dyes banned in every other sane country.
> Barium, aluminium, radioactive thorium and caesium, copper, titanium, silicon, lithium, cobalt, lead, ethylene dibromide and pathogenic agents. Aerially sprayed with regularity.

If I see two jets flying at the same altitude and direction, one has a finite trail (less than one finger) and the other goes horizon to horizon and stays there forever, you can't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining
And speaking to that very point:
A Malfeasant Media told what to say and how to say it.
> If you think I am exaggerating: Google todays secrect word: "ESCALATION"
Like muppets with a hidden hand up there backsides working their mouths, they have no independent thought.
They are told what to say.

And you wonder Why America is so stupid?
They listen the NPR, WaPo, and the rest of the see eye aye controlled media industrial complex.

Danke, James Tiberius. Guess I'm doing pretty well for surviving that asteroid strike. Switching completely to streaming, Netflix told me to keep a DVD of a flick they snail mailed me called 65.
65 is about a grown space alien humanoid who with a little girl survives a meteor shower and lands an escape capsule (that's a rocket) on Earth 65 million years before that asteroid wipes out the dinos.
Wouldn't you know that almost as fast as 65 appeared on DVD that scientists rolled that dino extinction back to 66 million years ago?
Movie is pretty good. Do not at all mind keeping it. Preview below starts with a commercial you gotta bleep "skip."

Yeah, Johnny! That's his name. As for my aging memory, I DO recall "man on the street" interviewing is how Jesse Watters started out.
I began to notice Watters during the Nineties when he asked a TV wrestler named Sid Vicious if professional wrestling was fake.
Vicious punched Watters in the guts. As Watters breathlessly doubled over, Vicious asked, "Does that feel fake?"

FACT: There is so much more to know.
In todays world, our written knowledge base is doubling every 3 years? It is not sustainable.

And once AIs start writing scientific papers, making discoveries? Humans will give up.

Yes, people are dumb (inability to compute).

But it's not completely new. AND we touch/use so many more skills than 150 years ago (no electricity, no real indoor plumbing). No tech. illiteracy was the RULE.

Now, EVERYONE reads. Few can write (in cursive, LOL). And almost none THINK.
Because they don't have to. Life is too easy.

Great news. THAT'S about to change.
Life will get REAL HARD, REAL FAST. And people will THINK or DIE!
