Higgenbotham's Dark Age Hovel

[Bob Butler]

And as you'd expect, the Democrats are into suggesting renewable energy while the Republicans would stay unchanged with fossil fuels. I don't see it as a crisis issue this time around. There are just a lot more issues that rocked the boat more. However, I don't see how it won't become a major issue by the next awakening.

I would note that the most common form of energy used commercially is one of the criteria used to differentiate ages of civilization. Hunter gatherers used their own muscles. In the agricultural age animal power was commonly harnessed. In the industrial age fossil fuels and steam engines dominated industry. In the upcoming information age it is expected that renewable forms of energy will dominate. Thus, the idea that conservatives want to continue with the culture unchanged while the progressives want to fix a clearly seen problem is manifest.

The Silicon Valley/Democrat/Davos/Billionaire/Progressive group exemplified by people such as Bill Gates, realizing that the world is tipping into a lower energy density state, are toying around with the idea of soft forms of human slavery without calling it that. They're calling it something like, "Can we all get along while we stick a very well lubricated 4 foot pipe up your ass?" An example of toying around with soft forms of human slavery would be to make excuses for locking humans down to see how they respond. It's a form of herding, which has been studied for decades in anticipation of this tipping point. It worked well for them so I would expect them to try to up the ante before their wet dream falls apart.

Conservatives would like to continue with the culture unchanged because they believe in freedom. So do most other people and that is why the 2024 election has practically been determined much earlier than it has been in recent decades, with Donald Trump the winner. The networks could already call it if they wanted to. Even Black Americans (former slaves) are backing Trump in record numbers, practically by the week. It's obvious why they are - they believe in freedom and they know the party of slavery is the Democratic party.

Politics are like abortion to me. I don't comment on it much unless what I'm reading here is really, really stupid.

Could you give examples of a progressive group advocating a form of slavery? 'I will stick a pole up your ass' sounds more like you than a progressive group. It is tempting when you can’t win a logical argument to make up an absurd lie about the other guys. Tempting, but not relevant.

A crisis never changes with the conservative faction keeping an existing problem. Real slavery was quashed, as was noble privilege, colonial imperialism and autocratic conquest. You might want to study history. I know that would require thinking. That would obviously be a new thing for you, but you should try it.

Yes. I know. You think freedom in forcing others to follow your own medieval superstition. Freedom is criminal presidents, insurrections, bigotry and death. Freedom is white supremacy, forcing your own culture on others rather than letting them make their own choices. I beg to differ.

Could you give examples of a progressive group advocating a form of slavery?

I just did. They forced covid lockdowns when clearly none were needed in order to test their ability to herd the population.

I can list many more soft forms of slavery (for you) but it's obvious to everyone except the proverbial Uncle Bob and I don't want to waste the space, as many posters have already covered that.

Instead, since you brought that warmed over Pop Tart out again, I'll discuss once again why this is not an Information Age and go a little further into depth about what it would take for it to be a true Information Age. That might have to wait a bit. Something more important than the transient and unimportant topic of politics.

But there was one other related political thing I wanted to mention in passing. I happened upon a clip of Hillary cackling about how a group of Trump supporters had tried to influence the election with a meme about texting your vote. I just happen to agree with Hillary that they were trying to influence the election, even though they denied it and have tried to chalk it up to exercising their freedom of speech. However, what I found most telling about Hillary's cackling was how excited she got about the topic of influencing elections. Her extreme excited and irritated state of mind was obviously due to the fact that she knows all about influencing elections and could clearly see what it was, as she has spent decades studying the topic of influencing elections and putting it into practice.

Maybe I should go ahead and state the obvious in case it was missed. Hillary Clinton, the Grand Poobah of the Democratic Party: "If anything even smells like one vote was stolen from me with a clever and funny meme, lock them up, I say! And I don't care how long it takes! Lock them up!"

Classic Hillary:

The Democrats know they can't beat Trump. Their answer: Lock him up!

Taking precautions against a deadly pandemic is a form of slavery? 1,183,396 US deaths are not worthy of taking precautions? Maybe I have several nieces and a nephew, and my name is Bob, but I kind like living?

I am not particularly impressed by the name ‘Information Age’, but that was what the early authors called it. I do see nukes, computers, and renewable energy as significant to civilization. I see computer networked direct democracy as likely at some future point. If you are stuck with things as they are, warts and all, so be it.

How many of those deaths were due to pre-existing conditions. How many people awaiting cancer treatment blocked by the restrictions?

CalPERS has more than $3 billion tied up in Chinese companies, including 14 state-owned enterprises blacklisted by the previous administration because of their ties to the Chinese military. Democrats now tell you you're being played for suckers. The disease that will keep on giving is Hillary.
Early you had been warned about data fragility and yes, I have virologist trained pulmonary trained Daughter who tried to save what we could
with treatments and SPAC data medical team with a few U of M Doctors also. Ongoing for now is not what you cannot envision to solutions in this
God forsake pagan realm. The Teams are focused on eliminating the MBA looters who tell you you're going to die as we decided and not your Doctor what is real. Taxpayers are past clueless.

The lockdowns prevented not one death. In fact, lockdowns increased deaths. Thanks for the numbers.

Locking people down is just another thing Democrats do for power and control. Sort of like putting able bodied people on welfare and locking them down into Democrat controlled urban hellholes. Another form of soft slavery. Or taking able bodied kids and tricking them into doing sex change operations. And another. Control freaks is what they are.

Oops, I said bad word - hellholes. I suppose the Democrat interpretation is that therefore the point isn't valid. So be it. I'll wait to hear from the thought police.

The big wild card is sperm counts.

Men's sperm rates have more than HALVED since the 1970s as experts warn trend could 'threaten mankind's survival'

Study warns the continued decline of sperm counts in men amounts to a crisis
Researchers tracked sperm counts from across the world from 1973 to 2018
They found sperm counts have more than halved in the last 46 years globally

Plummeting sperm counts 'threaten mankind's survival', researchers dramatically warned today.

Counts have more than halved since the 1970s.

And the decline has only accelerated since the turn of the century, according to a global analysis.

Scientists tracking the data, taken from more than 50 countries, said 'we have a serious problem on our hands'.

Men's bulging waistlines are blamed for the worrying trend, as well as 'everywhere chemicals' in the environment.

CELL PHONE USE LINKED TO LOW SPERM COUNT IN LANDMARK STUDY
UH OH.

Since essentially the dawn of the cell phone era, scientists have long warned that the radiation they emit might cause male fertility issues — and a new, long-term study out of Switzerland indicates that those concerns may be warranted.

As the University of Basel explains in a summary of the new research, there have been tons of studies showing that over the last 50 years, sperm counts have lowered significantly, with the average count per milliliter dropping from 99 million to just 47 million. Until now, however, there don't seem to have been any studies that have taken quite as broad a look at the apparent link between cell phone radiation and lowered sperm counts.
