The Delusional World of Barnyard Animals

And a few photos from the Outback end of the world trip

I am on the promontory of 80 Mile Beach and a fella accompanied by his his Plough Hog strikes up a conversation. As expected she admits to being born in NZ (the world renowned leader in Plough Hog breeding), but has lived in Aussie for most of her life. You can take the Kiwi out of NZ but the Plough Hog genes - they are permanent.

We get to chatting about this and that and land on the topic of the evils of processed food at which point I reveal the basics of my anti-cancer regime.

The Hog chimes in and says that's pretty much how she lives. Meanwhile her legs are far bigger than mine (and on a good day if I’ve shot some ‘roids and hoovered up a fat line of strength enhancing Bolivian I can rep 300+lbs on the squat rack) and riddled with cottage cheese. I estimate she's 165cm and 95kg. That would make her a moderately sized Plough Hog in NZ where 100kg+ is a proper Plough Hog and 120kg+ will get you a spot on the NZ Plough Hog Olympics te. Still 90kg is nothing to be whiffed at in Plough Hog world. Let's call her a middle weight - Sugar Ray Leonard loaded with a large tub of blubber.

The conversation ends with a sheepish (I had mentioned I at most drink two pints per week - most weeks nil) 'it's sunset - time for a drink' -- and off she waddles hauling her no doubt diabetes, high blood pressure riddled and artery-clogged carcass.

How in the fuck can someone that obese convince themselves that they are healthy? Is this some form of mental illness? Are they mentally retarded? Of is it that because there are so many barnyard animals that are far more overweight and they compare themselves to these walruses?

Or could it be that the MSM has informed them that as long as they don’t look worse than this, they are healthy?

As we know, no matter how outrageous, whatever screeches out of their Tee Vees they believe it. And the A-Vaxxers insist the Death Shots contain chips to control and enslave the Vaxxers. Duh.

As promised… some photos

Crocs and Me

I am thinking if I catch some fish, I will gut them and chuck the guts under the shower buildings and cause a bit of croc ruckus. Imagine the glee in the primitive brain of a big croc dragging the Plough Hog out of her tent! He’d be thinking Fuck Yeah - marbled meat tastes best.

And a quick Hoolio pic:

In other news… two heavy hitters have reached a consensus….

Has growth ended?

Though much further analysis remains to be conducted, it’s starting to look as though the global economy may have peaked in 2023.

If this is indeed the case, then what we are now experiencing is the start of intensifying internal and geopolitical competition for scarce and dwindling resources.

Just as we cannot know that we have experienced the hottest day of summer until a succession of cooler days has passed, so the peaking and downturn of the global economy was only ever going to be visible in the rear view mirror.

The ending and reversal of economic expansion does not mean that the authorities and the statisticians are going to start reporting falls (“negative growth”) in global real GDP any time soon.

Economic contraction, coming right up

I predict that the world economy will shrink in the next 10 years. I think that this is bound to happen because of energy and debt limits the world economy is hitting. There are a variety of other factors involved, as well.

In this post, I will try to describe the physics-based limits that the economy is facing, related to diminishing returns of many kinds. The problem we are facing has sometimes been called “limits to growth,” or “overshoot and collapse.” Such changes tend to lead to a loss of “complexity.” They are part of the way economies evolve. I would also like to share some ideas on the changes that are likely to occur over the coming decade.
