... The only real point I was making was that a major crisis can change
generational behavior permanently, whether it's a financial crisis or
a coronavirus crisis.
Just gonna restate the obvious, and oft repeated mantra of GD Theory:

These traumas that people feel (due to crises) change their actual personalities, and those changes characterize the "persona" of their shared generation.

That is what "Living Memory" means: The traumatized persona of a generation who can't communicate the reasons for its behavior to its offspring.


Its behaviors beget relatively predictable behaviors in its offspring, because parental behaviors based on trauma will always inflict another type of trauma on the parent's offspring.

Enumerating this chain of trauma will always circle back to the "most dire" trauma in four generations, as any "potency" of Great-Great-Grandfather's trauma is simply "fantastical nonsense",.. because "the world has changed".


So, what is the use of this knowledge?

Knowing this "Secret Knowledge" develops interest in what each of these four (as the fifth is the next first) personas is; how the chain of traumas works; how to communicate trauma to retain "living memory" after "living witness"; and how to "engineer" a line of descent to best position itself to prosper within the four generational cycle and eventually bring more lines into this engineering project,.. and perhaps finding a way to subvert the cycle all together.


..sounds rather "Illuminati", doesn't it!?

Money is like bullets..

Low velocity bullets are useless, unless you're just storing them for "future use".

..or, is money more like hot-potatoes!?

..yummy hot-potatoes...


I'm onto SOMETHING here, but I'm just not too sure what. Help me out,.. where do these metaphors go wrong? Or more importantly, where do they go right?

I live in Korea. The Wuhan virus is now just two blocks away from me. Confirmed.

Surgical masks are sold out, but I still have a few left. I bought some a month ago. I regret I didn't buy more.

People can't believe it. Wuhan is here.

Good luck to both of you.

Yes, I've been following the news of how Covid has spread from the
southern city of Daegu across the country. Apparently it spread
because of a large religious service of the Shincheonji religious
group.

Here in America, the mainstream news media are almost totally ignoring
Covid-19, in favor of really important issues, such as those related
to the phrase "horse-faced lesbian." CNN, for example, a network that
hates religion since they think that any mention of religion might
benefit the loathed Trump, is blaming the coronavirus spread in South
Korea on the Shincheonji religious group, which the BBC refers to as
"a fringe religious movement." They would like you to believe that
it's the "fringe religious movement," rather than the sainted CCP,
that's causing the spread.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/22/asia/sou ... index.html

As for me, I live in Cambridge-Boston, which is an international
travel hub, to China and everywhere else, and I live next door to MIT,
which has students from all countries, including China. There are
probably 20-30 people walking about Boston right now with undetected
coronavirus. My apartment building has hundreds of students from
Asia. I go to the Roche Brothers grocery store in Kendall Square
every day and mingle with the people there, and purchase food prepared
locally.

I've been reading and watching a lot of reports, and my personal
opinion is that a pandemic is coming. In the article that I posted
yesterday (Planning for Coronavirus), I didn't want to say so
explicitly, since doing so would be alarmist, but I tried to suggest
it by saying that the hoped-for "V-shaped recovery" wasn't going to
happen.

So it's quite possible that the world will look very different a
couple of months from now.

As for myself, I'm an "elderly" person, so if I get coronavirus, then
I'll probably die, hopefully quickly. That would actually be a
convenient way to die and, as the old saying goes, we all have to die
of something.

Good luck to everyone. Wash your hands frequently, sneeze into your
sleeve, and don't touch your face.

Do you plan to update your graphic on Emerging Crises soon to show covid-19 black and active?

In Korea, many are convinced it is a Chinese bio-weapon. ( I want to say most Koreans, but I don't that for sure. I only know most of my friends believe so.) The only question that remains is was it released intentionally or accidentally? Korea and Japan will soon be brought to their knees. Has this been the plan all along?

If that was the plan, then it sure backfired, didn't it. It's China
that has been brought to its knees.

The problem with both chemical and biological weapons is that you
can't control where they go, as you can with a nuclear weapon. That's
the main reason that chemical and biological weapons are rarely used
(not because war generals give a shit about "international law").

So even if your friends believe that Covid-19 was man-made in a Wuhan
biolab -- something that's really not likely -- it still would be more
likely that it was released by accident, by an animal bite or
something, and not released on purpose. But even that is unlikely.

Time to put your tin foil hats on:
https://news.webindia123.com/news/Artic ... 09051.html

Since the Corona virus is spreading into the the Middle East and Africa, would this stop the wars in Yemen, Libya, Iraq/Syria in their tracks as the Spanish Flu in 1918 with WWI?
I am wondering if the Spanish Flu model of multiple waves spreading around the globe would apply this time to Corona?
Did past iterations of Ebola and Marl-burg in Africa slow down the local wars?
