Shed all Fantasy

[Ero]

By now it has become abundantly clear that the direction of the US and by extension Geopolitics is one of turbulence, as Leo has written on his blog.

When complex systems enter chaotic phases, they begin to exhibit “heavy-tailed” phenomena or “black swan” events as they are known in pop culture. In simple terms, what are thought of as “unlikely” and “extreme” events begin to cascade and proliferate the system due to its instability. 

You will see steady rise in global suffering over the coming years, consequence of the butchering of USAID, the Climate accords, the resource ambitions in Ukraine and Gaza, the politics of “maximal pressure”,  trade wars, deregulation, etc. 

It is very likely the second- and third-order effects will reach you and your family. There are no “guarantees” by the nature of heavy-tailed events and their unbounded moments. Your personal development should focus on instilling discipline in your mind and rooting yourself in the things you can control - your day, your actions. You may lose your job, your social security, your pension, your savings. Whatever it is, be ready to claw your way out of it.

It's way worse than that. Those things are all peanuts.

The main thing is that they are couping the US government. Everything else is a distraction.

For the US, most definitely. I was speaking on “global suffering” because a lot of people who are not American (like myself) tend to view Trump shenanigans’ as distant. 

Wanted to vocalise that your warning doesn’t concern only Americans, but everyone, whichever continent they are on.

Do you have anyone similar to Vlad Vexler who discusses mostly American politics instead of Russian?

I have taken a liking to his insights.

@MarkKol Vlad covers Trump and American politics a lot.

I share everything I know on my blog. If I find anything good I post it there.

I am very thankfull for the sharings. I try my best to be informed about the main movements of all political stuff, but daily pratical stuff tends to get most of my attention. So this Forum is a good part of my way to keep informed. Of course I do my own research the best I can too.

@Rafael ThundercatThank you for sharing. This sent me down a rabbit hole and I didn't even know it went this deep.

Edit: The Butterfly revolution (April 2022) seems already in play.
