    It tends to happen right before a capitalist system fails.

    How often does this happen that we can claim this correlation? 🤔

      About once every 350 years… With a sample size of 3… 😅

      It’s about to. The very nature of it, means you can only have a sample size of one.

        And when do you predict this will occur? When should I have built my nuclear shelter so I know when to start building it?

          Too late for that I’m afraid. It already happened. It just takes a while before the [citation needed] folks understand that past performance is not a guarantee for future success.

            Lol sure, any time now, just one more year bro, just one more year and it will collapse bro, promise.

            Maybe the usa will collapse a bit (because those people are often americans that don’t know there are other countries out there) but that’s another story.

              I highly recommend staying ignorant honestly. It’s a much lighter burden to carry than seeing all the datapoints and seeing the collapse as a certainty. Have a good life, seriously.

                if you want to be treated seriously maybe provide some proof instead of saying that you’re attuned to all datapoints and can therefore see the future lol

                  I don’t want to be treated seriously on this platform about that subject.

                  If you’re curious you can find it but it won’t be thrown in your lap, as people would simply stop working/paying taxes or have children or fight the elites wars for them if the collapse data becomes widespread knowledge.

                  But as I said, there is nothing serious about this, and the best advice I can give is to simply enjoy life and appreciate precious moments with loved ones.

                    I don’t want to be treated seriously on this platform about that subject.

                    Mission accomplished. You sound you’re talking through a tinfoil hat.

                    We ask explicitly for information because we want to know. We want enlightenment because we’re not content with just living our lives in ignorance until the suffering starts, we want to be as prepared as we can for it. We have many years ahead of us. And you’re purposefully withholding information because you “don’t want to be taken seriously”? “On this platform”? For what?

                    If you have this information, just provide it. Let us be the judge of what we want with our lives.

                    What, you’re withholding it because you don’t have much time left in life and you just want to live calmly the rest of your days while we are slaving away for capitalism so it won’t collapse during your lifetime? That would be very selfish.

                    Please make sense of this. Thanks.
