Everything is converging on poo poo times ahead, & we can't play something else.

On the individual level absolutely nothing can be done at this point.

Enlightened acceptance I think is a healthy and sanity preserving mental posture, but it is not easy to get there. And you can't get there through coercion or proselytizing. Many people just fall into pits of grief, despair and anger along the way, and that's after the denial and bargaining. Sour doomers moaning WASF aren't very helpful to anyone, but neither is hopium or pinning our salvation on techno messiahs.

the ones who survive this apocalypse will be financial managers and their private security forces and they'll all starve to death like a month after everyone else dies.

It's amusing to imagine the sort of world where their cache of MREs, ferro-rods, and gold coins comes in handy and their war hardened security detail still calls them boss.

Like what's the actual goddamn point of commiserating with people over poo poo when you're admitting there's nothing productive to be done about it? So what if poo poo's awful? poo poo's always been awful! I loving despair constantly over the plight of queer people in the world, and living paycheck to paycheck, and how misogyny is mankind's greatest failure, but I still know it ain't worth it to adopt the incel rear end "lie down and rot" mentality over the environment or capitalism. I take pride and joy in trying to be a good and helpful person to nice people despite all that poo poo. And so what if the loving world rots to nothing? We'll probably be survived by a thousand species of cockroaches who can evolve over the next billion years into a race of sentient badass space bugs whose mating habits would make the most depraved monsterfuckers blush. If you wanna be sad all the time, you can go become an ascetic for all I care, that would be a much better way of detaching yourself from the destruction of the planet than whining about it on a 10 dollar dead end of the internet.

I read somewhere that a lot of them plan on somehow using the security guys families as collateral. They all live comfortable or some poo poo and you kill them if they act up. But I really think this sort of thinking underestimates how hard people can scheme in these situations and shows a naive understanding of the way people can think under that sort of stress. If your guy gets sprayed with someone insides one day he might not have the sort of emotional reactions you'll expect from a person for awhile. You could have the whole place hooked up to a dead mans switch and he might even consider that a perk of killing you.

I especially liked spez's take on things. He doesn't radiate strength in the way his security guys would respect and the second he hurt one of their kids it would be like the cultural revolution in their rich guy bunker.

I'm probably Sleep > Om > HoF as well as far as live shows, especially because Al lives here so we always get special poo poo these days. 4/20 last year he brought out that double bass for the first time with Sleep, and in October Om closed with a new song, it was killer.

It's not that we couldn't have had fusion power, it's that we didn't care enough to have it. Would have been expensive in the short term, even if the long-term winds up being more expensive for a lot of reasons.
