i distrust establishment narratives as a default, but i have no special knowledge around dinosaurs one way or the other. most of the public believes that dinosaur bones exist in whole form instead of being interpreted resin casts of empty spaces "discovered" by rockefeller funded "scientists", so there is certainly a major disconnect between public understanding vs. what's purported to be real. oil as "fossil fuels" is a fake label

in general, i've been a neo-malthusian (and subsequently peak-oilist, with the peak pushed off due to fracking advances and cheap financing) for a long time -- natural resources are drastically depleting, world population is too large, the public numbers are cooked, EROEI which powers industrial civilization is collapsing, pressures are forcing the elites toward population reduction and neofeudalism -- but i'm not so sure these days. the abiotic theory of oil suggests that it regenerates, although perhaps not as fast as the reserves are being exploited. to some extent natural resource limitations are being used as excuse for elite power centralization, so its hard to know whats real and whats fake. but the dramatic decrease in biodiversity and wild animal populations seems real to me

This is why they have periodic cullings to keep the herd in check and historically we’re due likely in our lifetime, something they’re likely testing with Ukraine rn to be hybridized with world war 1 meat grinder and biologics

Again, the goat sacrifice that the Jews did on the holiest day of the year Yom Kippur coming up was to appease Azazel who brought ill-begotten technology and forbidden arts like metallurgy, warfare to humans not Satan/The Adversary - even cosmetics and looksmaxxing

I had this theory that immigration policy the past couple decades has been a sort of neo-colonialism with first world countries robbing former colonies of their bodies. Decision makers saw our population trajectory and decided to start importing consumers. They don't care about nationality or culture, they just want bodies. Not that initiative is cooked so we're allowed a politician like Trump to come in and close off the border.

We've switched from bringing in new consumers to prop up gdp during the population crunch to betting on AI making everything more efficient to keep GDP up.

I think population decline is the biggest unnoticed aspect of our era. We still live with this mindset of growth and needing more housing etc. But that's actually dead. Our children will live with a constricting society. I drove thru the midwest recently and saw lots of towns all boarded up. I think that's the future. Fewer small towns (at least vibrant ones) and greater concentration.

yes, the future is going to be much bleaker for most people than the hopeful, increasing-materialism of the past 300-400 years. this is a big part of why a shift to a non-redemptive god image is so important, imo, because the increased disconnect between the hope/demand for future redemption and what people are experiencing is causing massive psychosomatic pressure in the population

you may also appreciate this: "Now, here’s a study from 2012 that I’m sure many of you know: The Evolutionary Dominance of Ethnocentric Cooperation. The short of it is, the model is a lattice where cells in it have the ability to reproduce with a small chance of mutation, with four possible strategies subject to that mutation: cooperation or defection with ingroup and likewise with outgroup, which then affects the reproductive potential of the interacting agents. Those that defected on their own ingroup did terribly, whereas universal cooperators and ethnocentric cooperators both did very well up until the lattice became full, at which point ethnocentrics came to completely dominate."

in other words, ethnocentric cooperators - which i really see as ethno/religious cooperators - "win" in the study against universal cooperators, which is perhaps part of the reason why upper elite jews are dominating so thoroughly, and religious jewish birthrates have very high fertility rates (unlike mormons, christians and muslims, which are collapsing; amish are still doing well, i guess)
