This started as notes on the parallels between 2020-2030 and the 1970s, but morphed into yet another big-picture analysis on the culture of the West, or rather lack of culture. Since ‘the planners’ think in terms of decades and centuries, it is hard for any one generation to think they are not unique. Planners know that they can change entire cultures in just a generation or two, especially if the culture is already weakened to begin with. This is why this current ‘great reset’ is mainly aimed at the youth, under 30’s, who by 2030 will have almost half their life in this new normal.
Thank you. I had a few thoughts on the 1970s for the past few months, noting that even then life was good if you lived in the West - without TV and of course without SM.
Then all this 'end of enlightenment' and 'free will is over' bombardment from Yuval Noah Harari. And, Kissinger with his AI book released during this 'pandemic', signaling the end of humanity and enlightenment. Made me expand the thoughts beyond just 70s comparisons.
Interesting, hadn't seen it before. Lots of different opinions on peak oil etc. I still feel that 'they' already have this all planned out, whatever the narrative, to position themselves to profit immensely from controlling all sources of energy, and get us hooked on whatever they want us to. Similar to them profiting off oil/gas for almost a century and keeping us dependent on it. The 4th Industrial Revolution seeks to push people all online to consume and trade data, with people being the product. They'll control supply/demand for that too.
