    So this is a rather long, rather bleak video. Do not watch it if you're dealing with depression or anything of the sort right now. I think some of you will relate. By the way, I've published many, many (written) essays on similar topics on my Substack "Beneath the Pavement": beneaththepavement.substack.com/
    Have a lovely time ♥

    Thanks for teaching me that word! I feel you, Im here at 2 am, with the exact same thoughts. And man, you have a way with words. This was like poetic, and almost cathartic to listen to.
    (Edit: this was also educating af, will read all names mentioned. I agree with everything you said)

    August Landmesser- back in the past I thought “If i was that guy- how would i tell/show people who they really are, their country, leaders, god etc. And then it hit me - i am that guy” And it’s not just Germany- Spain, Italy and other countries- the same scenario/script. It was “got mit ums” now its “god bless our troops” - country/corporation doesn’t matter.
    We live in a scripted reality- that’s why history repeats itself .

      I'll tell You short story - extension of my previous post.
      My grandfathers were friends - back in the days- before II WW.
      Then one day somebody told them "Your got/god, needs You, You have to fight for Your country, flag and Your people - fallow Your leaders -patriots"
      Problem is that one of them was polish the other one german.
      And then THE SAME PRIEST blessed their weapons with holy water and told them:
      "Bog honor ojczyzna"
      "Got mit ums"
      accordingly.
      Countries involved Spain, Italy, Germany (other countries too) were under concordat with vatican.
      Army priests that sprinkle weapons with holy water in the name of lord of peace -
      yea those poor always prosecuted for faith christians..
      I was an altar boy in poland for 6 years - poland has concordat since 92' "nothing new under the sun" - army priests, and holy water on tanks and ..... on heads of new born children- in the name of lord of peace.
      Living among population where 98% worship "pdf files" as gods, and Dunning Kruger affects everyone (including myself - im simply aware of that)...
      Hell is other people
      Ps. Look into Weimar Republic -we fallow the same script . If You have any free assets - exchange currency for money.
      1 oz of gold could buy appartment in Berlin at some point. But because of gold to silver ratio silver should bring more return.
      I hope what i wrote shines more light on my previous post.
      Have a great day mate.

      @antonio_melonio Me too. I've always taken a big picture view of myself and humanity. We are so absolutely insignificant in the grand scheme of the cosmos. And consciousness is just this weird little blip of the universe looking at itself, for no real reason other than to look.

    I think the collapse of our idealistic minds is a form of narcissism. We hope the world would be beauty, love, sharing, equality and all that, but instead it's quite the opposite. Love is replaced by wars, love by hate, sharing by capitalism and equality by domination. We expect ourselves to have some kind of resilience, but deep inside the only thing we feel is pain and désappointements. Maybe we value too much life, as if it should have any sense, morality or whatsoever. In the end it doesn't matter at all.
    One of my cats got killed today. I was the only one caring. His brothers never expected anything. I think we should be a bit more like cats, giving up trying to control our lives.

    Antonio, I just read your Substack recently about why they want our children and it struck me so strongly because I have been thinking these thoughts for years. I’m a 32-year-old woman in America, and I knew when I was reaching adulthood and beginning to understand how the world was setting its regular working folk up to fail and fall into these traps of bondage to a meaningless jobs that kill the soul to care for a family that people feel a terrifying obligation for a new that I couldn’t do it. I saw what my mother had to go through to get by with me and my brother for a brief moment until she married a man with money and we were comfortably sheltered from many of the world‘s realities. But once I left our farm, I saw that what she taught me came from a place of ignorance, her views about abortion being wrong wasn’t true at all, and that nobody should be forced to have a child, not just because of the unfairness it brings to woman being punished for having sex, but also the unfairness it brings upon a child who did not ask to be another piece of wood brought into the burning house. It kills me because I truly wanted children and I know I would’ve been good at it. I’m such a good mom that I refuse to subject any child to this current state of reality.
    This is my sacrifice, and that is what is necessary to create change. If I must sacrifice my life and my bloodline to birth the beginning of a better world so be it.

    Seems like you're more or less in the same spot as me in life, used to be clinically depressed but now I'm simply being realistic. We're all fucked (aside from the top 1% of course) but somehow I'm ok with that, as long as this worldwide bullshit doesn't affect me too much, I should be able to manage but still... What we are and where we're going really does look rather bleak.

    I try to take solace in the fact that 500 million to a billion years from now the sun’s heat will render the earth uninhabitable anyway. Its terrible what humans do to the planet in the short term but eventually it all has to die regardless. Lets try to enjoy the ride despite witnessing the collapse in real time.
