I absolutely enjoyed every second of this podcast. Ours is a future that is people, one by one paying forward good deeds that will slowly but surely change things. Why? It is our common nature, our biological similarities that will transition us to a symmetry with all of natures balances. It is the human being who will adjust or perish, and as the most gifted of all creatures we will get back to whatever center is. Internally I truly believe this. We are brothers and sisters of a singular race, I see our future as a camera on rewind, going very slowly. Hard landing, perhaps, for the ill prepared.
Our past is filled with fits and starts towards nirvana. The hippie generation, the cool cats before them, and the environmental movement after our moon shot. Not long ago warm ups to what lay ahead. An example of what our future may look like is reclaiming the past. For an example: Landfills will be reclaimed for all our productive waste buried as uneconomical. Now, maybe a thriving industry, where metals are mined at a fraction of the cost as roving recycling plants move from pile to pile. Adding to the grid its generating heat. Who knows but it’s an example of a feel good scenario.
Charles used "Capacity is Dormant", and man how I agree with this. "Level off", that represents balance, and yes I agree with that. "Cultural Conditioning", Chris used this, and man how true but we recognize this. So are unharmed by the attempt to condition. The whole Podcast was one gem after another.
The part about Gold in the basement, the logic of it all didn’t get lost. There is always someone bigger and badder than you is the message. Risk/Reward. Frankly he could have said, corn, wheat, flour, campbell’s soup. If conditions are ripe then everything is up for repatriation. Who knows really what our future brings but we’ll get it right or create some balance. It doesn’t mean utopia but the balance will be righted. I absolutely believe this, it will be communal, you won’t be able to do it alone. You will need the assistance of others , and they you.
I have to ask a question of anyone who reads this. Is it more gratifying to give or to receive? I thought so, we would be great neighbors. Peace…BOB
