I'm your host, Rodney Smith. This is the only podcast in the world where we love everybody. We make fun of it. Is. It. Even a podcast? I don't even know. I hate the word podcast because everybody has a fuck what is a podcast? What's the difference between a YouTube video and a podcast or a show? You know? What's the difference? Who cares there's no difference. Podcast is a podcast used to be a platform it used to be like the Apple podcast app right? Podcast is like calling all it's like calling all serial corn flakes is like calling everything a podcast. This isn't even a podcast. Dude it's a fucking show okay and welcome to it. This is the only show in the world where we love everybody. We make fun of everything and I appreciate you being here. I'm on day 2 of heaven to sniffles and I feel like dart and I feel very congested and I got a headache and I'm just tired dude  3 00:01:27,840 --> 00:02:12,080 I'm tired in general, I'm tired I'm tired with life. I'm tired with love. I'm. Tired with liberty, I'm tired of the pursuit of happiness I don't get why people kill themselves though because like if you ever you know very dark topic, but like why wouldn't you just check out and just stop doing all the things that you're supposed to do you know, I feel like when people get to a point where they take the the final that final step, it's cause they don't want to participate in' worldly activities anymore I haven't wanted to deal with worldly activities for a very long time, but I'm at the point where I' would never harm myself and I'm just kind of like I just kind of want to check out and see what happens what's the worst that can happen um,  4 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:13,440 I don't know.  5 00:02:13,440 --> 00:03:02,780 Yeah maybe maybe if I had a kid or something like that that would change, but yeah dude I'm just bored with everything kind of sick of everything. And I'm just I'm just exhausted, I'm just tired dude' you know, people look at me, sometimes they have it all figured out and I don't I don't think anybody ever actually fully does you know things going ups and down so whenever things are down for me I was just like to remember myself well, the downswing always comes before the upswing and then when things are going good you feel kind of embarrassed for when things were even bad and it's not like things are even bad for me. Right now like said, I'm just I'm just fucking exhausted, I'm just drained and I'm not even just like being said I'm just to be honest, we're gonna have a vulnerable episode let's have a vulnerable episode I guess I'm just  6 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:03,600 yeah,  7 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:13,420 I'm just exhausted and I'm sick of rejection. I guess you can call it it's like I'm getting rejected blatantly to my face, but it's just like the lack of  8 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:14,680 you know  9 00:03:14,680 --> 00:04:11,980 you feel so much resistance in every it's like it's just every aspect of life and I don't know if it's just you know the grass is greener on the other side but I just I just I just don't every step along the way, it's just always fucking something and the worst of it is like health issues you know what I mean if my health was 100% in order, but I think all it is so I actually have this really good German doctor now and he he's really he's a he's a huge G and I might just boil down to I might just have some sort of like sealy act as it like yeah I might just have a serious gluten and tolerance because I was feeling absolutely fine absolutely perfect when I was only eaten meats and vegetables here recently but I lost a bunch of weight and I was like dude I feel disgusting like I couldn't even look at pictures of myself and I it's like I can't be. Calling fat slobs fat slobs if I'm just this disgusting  10 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:46,180 skinny twig running around looking interexic you know like I have. I have. A problem in the opposite direction in that case like I can tell my ass to go to the gym which I do go to the gym but there was a time so when I decided OK, I'm gonna start eating bread and shit again cause I need to put some weight on I was like washing down bacon with chocolate milk and then following up my breakfast with the bowl of cereal and drinking a glass of apple juice afterwards and then eating burritos for lunch, then making a stack of pancakes and then for lunch eating a steak just doused and buttery garlic.  11 00:04:49,160 --> 00:05:19,900 Yeah, and you know then and for dinner I'd make like a bowl of pasta and eat a big ass thing of ice cream and and so I slowly put on like ￡5 again but then my I got this fucking joint paint started up again and it's like my hand my hands feel all like I feel like I got like these 2 fingers right here like I've been. I think I was playing tackle football yesterday I did. This is how I used to feel when I was playing football and it's like I did anything important  12 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:25,240 yeah,  13 00:05:25,480 --> 00:06:24,940 I think it's just the bread just declaring World War IV on my asshole cause when it gets in your intestines right if you have think about when you're allergic like if you're allergic to pollen, if you know people make fun of the whole gluten thing but think about just regular allergies if you're allergic to pollen you see what it does to your eyes and your sinuses and all these things right? These visibly allergy symptoms but so if you have a food allergy and you're ingesting a bunch of' this and everything's bread, try to get away from wheat dude, it's hard, as fuck so if you have a gluten and tolerance and you're eating that think about the havoc that it's doing to your insides that you can't visibly see with your eyes but it's obviously causing all sorts of reactions uh, inflammation and all sorts of things and so because basically your whole nervous system and immune system starts on your gut. If you have bad gut health it's gonna trans transfer into other areas um and then if your immune system goes hey wire it starts attacking things where there's nothing even wrong because what your immune system supposed to do  14 00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:33,700 is attack invaders but so once your immune system gets fucked up it's like having a drunk immune system where it can't spot the bad invaders you know,  15 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:35,480 and then  16 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:49,940 so yeah, that's what we're hoping now hopefully the Zajim and doctors right so I gotta go back in in 6 weeks. Do like a follow up and I'm just going to take that test I. Don't know why I. Didn't order that test  17 00:06:52,280 --> 00:07:30,220 well yeah bro. I'm just I'm just exhausted, that's kind of the moral of the story I'm exhausted with not feeling well I'm exhausted with the idea that I' have to go back to the airplane hanger I really don't want to I don't think I'm going to even though I know it's like a safe hunter grand like if I go pick up this contract if I go pick up this contract it'll be, you know like $50 an hour, but I just I don't want to go backwards I don't want to I'd rather I would rather make like $30,000 fucking working for myself than making a hundred grand working at some mega corporation, you know.  18 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:52,900 Sorry sipping that topochico gotta stay hydrated, dude it's a big part of being sick staying hydrated. Yeah, just the idea of having to go back at all that bullshit is you know, really irk in the inner millennial  19 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,980 and yeah, where was I going with that  20 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,580 I forget. I'm just getting in my fields. About it  21 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:04,940 anyway,  22 00:08:05,200 --> 00:09:05,000 since we're having kind of a dark episode you know what I've noticed as I've gotten older is my relationship with alcohol I'm really developing a dislike for it and I don't think I'll ever not be a drinker' because it's like that Burt Cricher modelockey went on where sometimes just being at the airport and having some drinks are going on vacation and ripping some Momosas or just having some beers in general alright every once in a while you can't beat that it's glorious and I always want to be healthy enough to be able to do that like Bert Christ or said but I just remember when I started drinking when I was younger I think I started drinking around the time I was 17 and uh while I remember beforehand so when I was when I was a kid in Germany and you know my mom will take us with her to the it was just kind of normal it's part of the culture. There you go to these big like wine festivals that are like big carnival things you know be hanging out with all the kids be hanging out the adults be hanging out, all the adults just be getting hammered and I would see adults get drunk  23 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:54,180 and they would be acting weird and it's the same way. Like people with mental illness always kind of freaked me up because they were unpredictable I've always one of those people were really study my environment and I find patterns probably cause I'm autistic and they call that pattern recognition but then when somebody be under the influence of alcohol I would be like I don't I don't there this person's unpredictable. I don't like it I can't predict it like their behavior doesn't make sense to me and so even as a little kid it really grossed me out and. Then when I became a teenager when I was like 16 and we started going to parties, I would see kids get hammered and they would do dumb shit like take their clothes off and run around in the street or I see him pukin and sorry keep my noses my noses plugs. If you hear me go. You know, like breathing into the microphone. I apologize, but I gotta like take a big gulp of air every couple seconds. I'm trying my best here. Okay,  24 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,740 excuse me. Maybe I can get that out in post production as good as I can, but we'll see  25 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:01,920 um,  26 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:59,300 what was I talking about oh yeah so I would see people strutting around Hammer, just doing dumb shit or getting a car accident so I was like I don't really like this stuff I don't like the idea that but then I started, then I drank one night and then you know me and my me and my close friends started drinking and partying and what it was at the time then we were just these young dudes was it was just we were just the same people, but then it would we would drink and it would turn up the silly. So it would be a group of people that I trusted my friends, my homies or we go to house parties, whatever would be, but at that time at that age all the drinking would do really is like I said it would just turn up the silly the silly meter, everything we'd be doing the same dumb shit we'd be doing as kids anyways it's just like adding a layer of redonculusness to it right but then after a while right then after a couple years of this you start realizing things are getting a little darker and some of the people aren't necessarily having fun on the booze anymore.  27 00:10:59,960 --> 00:11:21,300 They actually get sad when they're drinking it or some people might get angry or weird shit starts happening you know, like a friend got in a car accident when we were 16 and she passed away and you know it turns out that she was drinking and driving like she was trying to make it home at her her curfew. Um she was drunk, you know she was speeding home and she passed away  28 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:23,180 and then  29 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,100 you know you just see other things like people.  30 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:26,040 Just  31 00:11:26,040 --> 00:12:26,020 the dark shit of alcohol starts happening right especially then you know when you get older then in your 20s it's still then you start going out to the bars, then the bars are this brand new fun experience it's like this whole new. You go from drinking at someone's decrepid kitchen whose parents are at a at a lake somewhere. Something like that for the weekend. So you're drinking in someone's kitchen you' know having fun passing out on floors doing all this house party bullshit right and then once that starts. Getting kind of old you finally turned 21 and I go okay now we go to the bars, now we get to go drink with a bunch of strangers somewhere else we don't have to worry about getting busted this is fun, then you do that for, like 5 years right but then you start to notice people sitting in the bars, people that you know sitting in the bars by themselves same things shit starts getting dark. They're just like drink into feel normal or drink into escape problems or just uh, you know like something with the booze. It just always goes into this dark place and it hasn't for me. Fortunately like I've never been a  32 00:12:26,160 --> 00:13:00,660 like sad drinker getting angry when I'm drunk or something like that but I see it in people around me that I care about that when they drink they just get fucking angry or just like there's something like some other bottled up shit you know what I mean and they and they always say that drunk drunk words or sober thoughts. I remember hearing that when I was way younger and that always kind of made sense to me but I just I don't you know like I just don't like what I've seen and I don't want to be too specific about it because you would know like  33 00:13:01,680 --> 00:13:02,480 uh  34 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:40,180 yeah, I just don't like seeing what has done to a lot of people close to me and I mean. A lot of people close to me have booze problems. They straight up have booze problems and that feels like it feels judgmental of me to say because I'm not perfect. I have my own demons right, but I just think that's one of those things that you can really could, or maybe people can't, control it. You know in my mind is like, okay this is something you can control you can control how much booze you can take but I think that some people they have whatever monkey that is on their back to where they feel like they need to drink at certain times then they drink and then but they don't even enjoy the drinking or'  35 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:41,120 you know  36 00:13:41,120 --> 00:14:12,860 I've seen it where friends and family and whoever like where they're fucking shaking when they're not having the booze and they're just like, what's the difference between alcohol and like heroin you know what I mean like if you're an alcoholic you're straight up drug addict. That's what you are I'm not saying I'm saying that lovingly right, but like if you drink every single day right if you're under the influence of' alcohol every single day, that's no different than' somebody doing fucking coke every day or whatever else it is except it's it's legal like you trust the government just because the government says that's legal doesn't mean it's good,  37 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:14,020 you know what I mean,  38 00:14:14,800 --> 00:15:13,800 why would you I don't trust the government for shit and so just because the just because some booze lobby paid off the government, finally I have to say okay this should be legal and I think everything should be legal if everybody wants to do it they want to do go do it just don't fund it and don't' allow in the cities when people do crimes to. Actually I don't think everything should be legal because I don't know. I just I don't just don't like drugs and alcohol bro like I'm just getting to that point in my life where I just don't like it and the destruction of' it has made me it's made me look at life in' a certain way. Um, I do find it annoying once people finally get sober and they look at everybody else like huge degenerates who can manage to have one or 2 drinks a week. It's like anything else do it' in' moderation. I just like I said I don't see any difference between cocaine and alcohol once you go to like heroin and smoke and meth and all this weird shit okay, like that's in its own league cause that's some but I mean there's hobos that are just pure alcoholics I mean, I would bet 1t of  39 00:15:13,800 --> 00:16:12,260 if you don't talk to a bunch of drug addicts in homeless people and people with mental health issues I guarantee you they will say that it started with alcohol because alcohol is the easiest shit to get you. Can get it cheap as fuck. It's so easy to consume and it's so addicting because you see peep. I mean with the hangover right you know you have a hangover then you drink a beer and you're fine again so that's how' people get on that' carousel where luckily I've always had this thing about me. Where were when I'm hungover the last thing I wanna do is drink because I just can't have in the back while I might not know what's happening there and I don't like being addicted to stuff. Um, and so that's last thing I wanted like when I've been fucked up for it that's why I don't like doing mushrooms or something like that because you're high for like 6 hours and if you don't have that comparison right like that's why people that' smoke weed every single day like how is that even fun? Just constantly being high if you don't know normal how is the high even fun? That's why I like doing these things in extreme moderation and  40 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:13,200 yeah,  41 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:31,780 I don't know. Sounds judgmental of' me but anyways happy, happy, happy, Friday you guys, you made it to Friday I hope you have an amazing weekend. I hope you had get some time to do the things you want to do and unwind and don't drink yourself stupid and do something stupid all right.  42 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,180 Your drugs are bad, okay  43 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:58,420 but anyways appreciate y'all please leave a rating, please tell, us.

Chatting With Sherri welcomes award-winning author and Writers of the Future winner, Sean Patrick Hazlett!  What if there were a war after Armageddon? How would the survivors emerging from World War III's radioactive slag heaps fight in this conflict? Would they wage it with sticks and stones . . . and sorcery? Or would they use more refined weapons, elevating lawfare to an art and unleashing bureaucratic nightmares worse than death? Would they struggle against themselves or inter-dimensional invaders? What horrors from the desolate darkness might slither into the light? Wipe away the ashes of civilization and peer into a pit of atomic glass to witness the haunting visions of World War IV from today's greatest minds in science fiction, fantasy, and horror. Sean Patrick Hazlett is an US Army veteran, speculative fiction writer and editor, and finance executive in the San Francisco Bay area. He holds an AB in history and BS in electrical engineering from Stanford University, and a master's degree in public policy from the Harvard Kennedy School of Government.

Today Jason talks about the impending Russian and Ukraine conflict, why the government wants to keep us single, the US Debt Clock, inflation induced debt destruction and the Hartman Comparison index!  And welcome Simon Caron, the Uneducated Economist, who quite frankly, is a lot more educated than many economists out there! With a background in the lumber industry and his direct work in sales at a lumberyard, Simon's research comes from real world, real life experience as he deals firsthand with the current building material and lumber shortage logistical nightmare on a daily basis. He reports that lead time for a lot of building materials is now three months and discusses the Cantillon Effect, worsening inequality and the crisis builders are facing just to get their projects completed. Builders are having to order supplies before they even have a permit, putting the cart before the horse! Simon also encourages you to pay close attention to debt (especially corporate debt), rising interest rates and central bank digital currencies.

Happy New Year, my friends.I like to think we do a decent job of forecasting the future over here at Surviving Tomorrow headquarters.Only time will tell.This article is written in declaratives, but of course, it's simply speculative.Circle back in a year and see how our predictions fared!Let's start with the good news first:1. We don't all die in a global nuclear warNukes are for Boomers.Thank heavens for mutually-assured destruction on a planetary scale. There are more than 15,000+ nuclear warheads on planet Earth, but clear through the end of 2022, the nine nuclear nations will continue their good work of keeping planet-destroying weapons out of the hands of rogue actors… for now.This is where we cut to a banger of a quote from Albert Einstein that only a small percentage of the population will understand:“I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.”Luckily, WWIII won't happen in 2022.2. The stock market doesn't crashThat's 2023's job.We'll see moderate growth in the stock price of vampire corporations and the corrupted real estate market — though certainly not in real, productive, contributive growth.While the Great Quit and the booming union negotiations will provide some temporary relief for union members, overall there will be no meaningful rise in workers' real wages when you factor in crushing inflation.3. Bitcoin hits seventeen billion trillion dollarsJust kidding.The crypto crackdown will continue as:a.) Central banks see the real threat it now poses to their corrupt money monopoly.b.) They get serious about launching their dystopian surveillance coins.Also, bafflingly, Tether will continue to keep its fraud alive (and likely won't get indicted as a $60+ billion crime until after the greater market crashes.)4. The metaverse is a flop**For now.Adults just don't want to “live” in virtual reality, or have the virtual world invade their lives via augmented reality.From a historical perspective, the pornography industry typically innovates first. (Think: pop-ups, pop-downs, pop-unders, secure payments, age verification.) And even porn hasn't seen widespread VR uptake. Plus Google glasses were a huge bust and Oculus isn't winning over the 35-plussers (basically, people with real lives.)Accordingly, Meta/Facebook/Instagram/etc will have to keep doing what it's been doing for years to create markets for its life-threatening products:Target children.5. Inflation doesn't go awayYay money printing, overpopulation, and resource depletion.Real inflation including assets has already exceeded 10% for the past two years in a row, and it will continue through 2022.If you need it, buy it now, because it will be more expensive tomorrow.Also: “Transitory” enters the lexicon as a joke word. (Think: “My girlfriend and I didn't break up, our relationship is just transitory.”)Surviving Tomorrow encourages all readers to ignore the fake government numbers and calculate their own personalized inflation numbers.6. Supply chain challenges continue to plague humanityAnd some of them will be straight-up manufactured by Ch!na as they test their ability to constrict supply flows in order to extract wealth from the West.They're pure geniuses, folks — practicing monopoly-capitalism abroad to enforce fake communism at home.The tiniest of silver linings?There's a microscopic opportunity for localism to make a reemergence if ya'll would stop shopping at Walmart.7. Republicans win the mid-termsNot by the usual landslide, but enough to freak the deluded Dems.(The GOP is also going to take the Presidency in 2024, whether they win or not.)8. More predator corporations move to the Subscription Serfdom ModelToyota recently began retroactively charging customers $8/month to start their own cars, and we'll see more companies dip their claws into the not-for-sale model in 2022.Under subscription serfdom, it's only a matter of time before you won't be able to afford a house, car, or mattress.9. Airbnb continues to ruin families and communitiesThanks to its unsustainable grow-forever business model, Airbnb hosts will continue to outbid working families for residential homes, which will make sale prices rise, rentals disappear, and the few remaining rentals skyrocket in price.We won't see the widespread smashing of windows and torching of Airbnbs quite yet, but it will eventually be the thing to do, like it was with Jehovah's Witness buildings in the seventies.Over on CNN+, their soon-to-be #1 host, Scott Galloway — despite his genuine care for the next generation — will remain publicly silent about one of his favorite companies. But late at night, while cuddling his adorable dog, he'll quietly start to realize what we already know:That Airbnb is a global threat to affordable homeownership and rentership.10. No more lockdownsMultinational corporations made a multi-trillion-dollar killing during the lockdowns, but even their rented politicians and privatized media corporations won't be able to muster up enough fear to keep everyone indoors for another year.We're already seeing revolt in Australia and within Boris Johnson's UK Conservative party, and if any government is stupid enough to try to place its citizens on house arrest over an infectious-but-mild variant, there will be revolts in the street.Sadly, even without lockdowns…11. Loneliness and depression increaseBecause we're engineering our society for loneliness.After all, it's far more profitable to divide and conquer your customers so they all stay home and spend online. No one makes money from a walk in the wild.Between the loss of restaurants, cinemas, shopping, outdoor play, mass gatherings, and human-to-human sex, we're seeing a long-term decline in face-to-face human interaction.Soon, being together will be a radical act.12. Social media continues to destroy societyCongress will do nothing meaningful to stop Facebook.War criminal Mark Zuckerberg will make some basic tweaks to his algorithm in the wake of Frances Haugen's important disclosures, knowing full-well his must-make-more-profits algorithm stands at odds with civil discourse and democracy.Expect social media to continue to divide society as the machine generates more extremists on both sides of the political aisle.13. Ch!na continues to dominate AmericaAmerica and Ch!na are already at war, but one side doesn't know it yet.Though they'll have to spend a lot of 2022 shoring up their crumbling foundations (IE massive debt and a real estate bubble that's ready to explode), expect Ch!nese global domination to keep more or less on schedule, with additional port purchases, debt traps, surveillance rollouts, and economic colonization of developing countries.Maybe they deserve to run the world…14. The climate crisis continues to worsenManhattan won't be underwater by the end of 2022, but we'll continue to:Spew heat-trapping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.Poison our rivers.Fill the oceans with microplastics.Frack the foundations of our landmasses and ocean beds.Deforest tens of millions of acres (roughly the size of Panama.)Rape the soil another half-inch, leaving us with just a few dozen more natural harvests before we have to move to synthetic food production.The world's largest polluters will, of course, continue to play their massive game of misdirection by shaming the middle class into not eating meat, using plastic straws, heating with woodstoves, driving fast, or taking baths.But at least three more people will wise up to their con.15. Debt increasesAnd not just Federal debt, which is a given.We're talking about personal consumer debt.In 2022, people will burn through their Covid savings runway and get back to tapping their credit cards as they return to semi-normal commercial life.After the Republicans win the mid-terms there will be no more free handouts, which will force many people back to work, which will cue corporations to push back against unions and resist real wage increases.16. Global democracy remains in decline for the sixteenth consecutive yearFreedom House will release its annual report and it will contain more of the same — increasing authoritarianism across the planet.Yet, sheeplike citizens will keep voting for corporate-captured mainstream parties instead of defunding the corporations who bankroll the sociopathic politicians that execute the will of private interests.Weep for us, Athens, for we held your dream in the palm of our hand and smothered it to death.17. The rich get richerWhile elites won't add another $5.5 trillion to their net worth in the year ahead, they will likely add $2+ trillion as the markets continue to ride a wave of inflation, rising consumer prices, and the last of 2021's printed money.America will go yet another year without a democratic wealth tax, with groveling billionaire sycophants continuing to scream that anything less than unlimited wealth accumulation is socialism.18. The poor get poorerLast year, the British National Health Service (NHS) got a 1% pay raise.But real inflation was 10+%, so they actually got a 9% pay cut.In 2022, food, transportation, and especially housing prices will rise, and while many people will receive the tiniest of pay raises, they will be significantly poorer in real relative wealth.Several million people will also fall out of the job market due to automation, monopolization, and financialization — made economically inefficient — never to return to the workforce for the rest of their lives. As a knock-on effect of permanent poverty, American drug addiction will continue to claim more lives than 2021, as will suicide.19. Governments desperately try to stave off a crashAfter temporarily slowing down the money printer in a weak attempt to slow down inflation, the markets will react poorly (read: numbers go down) and corporations will push their rented politicians to do something.Yet, the big banks see the writing on the wall, and push a counter-narrative to their rented politicians. The result will be a mishmash of conflicting economic maneuvers, crazy risk-taking, and fiscal decisions that will baffle seasoned economists, Wall Street, and Main Street alike.If the market sees a full quarter or more of losses, expect the Fed to re-start up the money printer late in 2022, rather than doing the right thing and letting the whole house of cards burn to the ground in a reset to sanity.20. Housing becomes increasingly unaffordable for renters“Nobody gets seconds until everyone's had firsts” apparently doesn't apply to shelter.Thanks to Airbnb, second house-owners, land-lorders, and institutional investors, the rental market will continue to evaporate, forcing working renters to surrender a far greater portion of their hard-earned wealth to passive extractors.And that's for the “lucky” renters who can find any places to rent in their area.For the bottom of society, it simply means hundreds of thousands more people will end up on the streets while former family homes sit empty for much of the year. Wealthy people will continue to leave homeless-filled cities like Los Angeles, pretending “not to understand” exactly why there are more people on the streets now than at any point since the Great Depression.21. Homeownership becomes increasingly unaffordable without massive debtHouse prices won't rise as quickly as they did during the Covid flight to the suburbs, but the same purchasers who are outbidding renters will continue to dominate middle-class working folks.Out of desperation, millions of young-ish families will try to pole-vault the massive chasm into homeownership, loading themselves with multi-six-figure debt, effectively wage-enslaving themselves for forty years to a bank that simply printed digital credit into their bank accounts.22. Most people find a way to carry onBecause every human being is a miracle.I met a woman when I was in Transnistria — the dystopian half-nation between Moldova and Ukraine that's controlled by the Russians — who showed me the scar on her chest where her husband tried to stab her in the heart before burning their house down and abandoning her and their two children. She still had the fortitude to smile.I've been to North Korea, where I witnessed malnourished children drawing water by hand from mud wells. I didn't see a single piece of wildlife in five days — no birds, nor rabbits, nor squirrels, nor rodents — because they've all been eaten. Yet our Korean brothers and sisters soldier on.I've visited the largest garbage dump in Africa, where thousands of men, women, and children spend their entire lives digging through the trash for anything of value. Do they know how precious and strong they are?It's awe-inspiring how resilient human beings can be.It's also scary when you realize that predator corporations know it, too.They know how much more life can still be pressed out of the middle class.On a personal note…Baby Concord will take his first steps, and his first spoken phrase will be either “corporate corruption” or “sic semper tyrannis.”Surviving Tomorrow, which grew to 15,000 followers in this its first year, will grow to 50,000+ followers as its wonderful and intelligent readers consistently and purposefully clap, share, and strongly insist that all their friends and family join the conversation and follow along.In conclusionTrajectory is everything, my dear friends.Insanity, as you know, is doing the same things and expecting different results.As long as we keep buying products from the same corporations, incinerating our time on the same extremist-creating social media sites, and voting for the same corporate-captured political parties, we'll keep going where we're already headed:Democratic destruction, ecological collapse, and economic irrelevance.Thanks for reading Surviving Tomorrow.All my love,Jared A.

Listeners Choice Month rolls on with the Vin Diesel-less sequel, xXx: State of the Union starring Ice Cube. Joining the guys is extreme sports expert Jerika, who is a tad dismayed to discover the lack of extreme sports in this particular installment. There is plenty to talk about though like a debate on Ice Cube as a hyper-kinetic action hero, the wildest fiddle band of all-time, TV dinners used to simulate body heat, the World War IV references (did WW3 already happen in the world of this movie?), the haunting and relevant plot surrounding insurrectionists at the US Capitol and much more. Listeners Choice comes to a close next week with the contractually-obligated musical dud, From Justin to Kelly.

      I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones  -- Albert Einstein   If we wish to fight, the enemy can be forced to an engagement even though he be sheltered behind a high rampart and a deep ditch. All we need do is attack some other place that he will be obliged to relieve. If we do not wish to fight, we can prevent the enemy from engaging us even though the lines of our encampment be merely traced out on the ground. All we need do is to throw something odd and unaccountable in his way.  -- Sun Tzu, The Art of War     On the new InSecurity, Matt Stephenson has a chat with author and Corner Alliance CEO Alan Pentz about playing the long game with China. When your rival has 4000 years of history and a BILLION more people, the contest takes on some different parameters. As we move into the 4th Industrial Revolution, who will better leverage technology like 5G, AI, automation and augmented reality? We’re bringing someone who is boots on the ground in the campaign to improve how government can work with private industry.     About Alan Pentz     Alan Pentz (@apentz) is the CEO of Corner Alliance. He has over twenty years of experience in government consulting with Corner Alliance, SRA, Touchstone Consulting, and Witt O'Brien's, and has worked with government leaders in the R&D and innovation communities across DHS, Commerce, NIH, state and local government, and the non-profit sector among others. Before consulting, Alan served as a speechwriter and press secretary for former U.S. Senator Max Baucus and as a legislative assistant for former U.S. Representative Paul Kanjorski. He holds an MBA from the University of Texas at Austin. Alan is a life long fan of the Philadelphia Eagles (yes, they booed Santa Claus) and his hero is Ben Franklin, a famous polymath, patriot, diplomat, scientist, politician, and was still the founding father you most want to have a beer with.     Winning the Long Competition: The Key to the Next American Century     For the first time since the Space Race, the United States is facing a serious competitor with a plan to achieve technological dominance: China. Between China 2025 and the Belt and Road Initiative, it’s become clear that the Chinese government is determined to capture the economic power that new technologies like AI, automation, 5G, and the cloud represent. And with economic power comes military power, and then political power. To win this competition, the US must return to the historical model it used to build the interstate highway system, put a man on the moon, and build the computer and the Internet—but has become an afterthought over the past few decades. In Winning the Long Competition, Alan Pentz lays out a roadmap for increasing our investment and innovation in core areas. He shows government managers where to invest and points innovators to areas where the funding will be plentiful. As we move into the next American century, the only way forward is to harness all the resources and creativity of both our public and private sectors.     About Matt Stephenson       Insecurity Podcast host Matt Stephenson (@packmatt73) leads the Broadcast Media team at BlackBerry, which puts me in front of crowds, cameras, and microphones all over the world. I am the regular host of the InSecurity podcast and video series at events around the globe.   I have spent the last 10 years in the world of Data Protection and Cybersecurity. Since 2016, I have been with Cylance (now BlackBerry) extolling the virtues of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and how, when applied to network security, can wrong-foot the bad guys. Prior to the COVID shutdown, I was on the road over 100 days a year doing live malware demonstrations for audiences from San Diego to DC to London to Abu Dhabi to Singapore to Sydney. One of the funniest things I've ever been a part of was blowing up a live instance of NotPetya 6 hours after the news broke... in Washington DC... directly across the street from FBI HQ... as soon as we activated it a parade of police cars with sirens blaring roared past the building we were in. I'm pretty they weren't there for us, but you never know...   Every week on the InSecurity Podcast, I get to interview interesting people doing interesting things all over the world of cybersecurity and the extended world of hacking.

This episode was recorded back-to-back with episode 3's discussion of Rinascimento and Bourse. As a result we'd already had a number of drinks. And then we drank some more. So in this episode apologies in advance as the guys get a bit pissy while discussing the wonderful world of Diplomacy. This probably explains why Amby gets rather excited when he discovers from Kaner the "Finished" button within each variant's page. Kaner reciprocates saying he learnt about the archived maps from within any game from Amby. World War IV - the mother of all variants Kaner and Amby get into this amazing map that makes this variant one with both the most players (35 or 36 depending on the version you play), and due to the number of territories and SC's its also often one of the longest maps to play:Hats off to Tom Mulledy for creating the variant for the original 35 player variant and Tom Reinecker for the 36 player World War IV (version 6.2) variant.Amby kicks things off talking about how "drool-worthy" the map is. But yet hates the game: because he never wins. Amby laments amongst the 3 different versions he's played 6 or 7 games but has only survived once. Every other time he gets eliminated.Kaner points out with the number of players understandably your odds of winning fall dramatically and your chances of getting shafted go through the roof.Kaner finds the original 35 player map very "empty", especially in the middle east. WWIV v6.2 is now overwhelmingly the most popular iteration. Even better Kaner's World War IV Sea lanes version.That said, they both agree that when you start a WWIV game, you always feel, "This is it... I'm going to conquer the world!"Kaner explains why there's the two versions between the WWIV map. Tom (User ID Tomahaha) contacted the then vDip mods about the site using an older version. Kaner then helped out with porting that map across to vDiplomacy.The guys talk about the technical aspects of how the games come together on the site with two maps: a true map (with no more than 256 territories) and then a separate layer with the names and SCs on it.  But with the size of WWIV there's an additional map to help run the variant, which is really fiddly.Amby digresses about how the Regatta's toilets disappointed him. During a quick comfort break between recordings he noticed that it didn't have a mirrored wall for releaving yourself, as reported by the BBC on the internet. Amby thinks this could be a result of a more recent renovation done since the 2011 Brisbane flood (confirmed in this article - scroll to the bottom for the wacky picture of how the urinal used to look/work!)With dunny talk out of the way, Kaner brings up the common problem in both WWIV maps of sea-based territories forming strong stalemate lines that prevented solo wins.Kaner discusses his ideas of creating "overseer" zones at the heart of an original large sea territory, and then splitting the remainder of a sea territory into smaller sea territories. These overseer zones allow for fast navigation, but also play a critical part in supporting activity around them. These changes eliminate the issue in the past of too many strong sea-based stalemate lines. This is obviously good if you get sick of games with stalemate lines, but will drive you nuts if you love creating good strong stalemate lines.The guys discuss though that these changes appear to have had an impact on more sea based powers like Oceania, exposing them to greater naval threats.Kaner then gives his strategy about the importance of building continental strength quickly and then turning your attention to projecting naval power into the sea lanes. Amby shares his experience of doing the opposite: concentrating strongly on land-based strength but in doing so leaving himself open to naval attack, and ultimately elimination. So pay attention to Kaner's suggested strategy!That said Kaner goes on to say though that while strategy is an important component, fundamentally your relationships with players tends to be the determining factor.Kaner gets into the sexy talk and discusses how winning a WWIV map would be like ten orgasms at once.In WWIV the scale of the map lends itself to more than just an opening game, mid-game and end-game, with multiple opening games and mid-games.Kaner recommends in the early game to create a couple of local alliances in your continental block.When it comes to continental blocks the guys note that Africa and South America either quickly get their shit together, or totally fall apart. North America usually gets its act together quickly, Asia becomes a knife fight and in Europe one player usually quickly dominates.Finally the guys reflect that once you've played WWIV there's no way you can ever again play the World Diplomacy IX variant on webDiplomacy. Google Translate Diplomacy - when you feel like an entertaining game of Diplomacy Next after yet some more drinks the guys move onto Google Translate Diplomacy.Amby mentions how with his recent efforts to learn Spanish on Duolingo, he created a forum post looking for people wanting to play a game only played in Spanish with four other players putting up their hand.Amby discusses how when you're learning a language you can obviously only call upon the words you've learnt, without quickly having to cheat and turn to Google Translate for help.The game called Juego en español (literally "Game in Spanish") saw ScubaSteve play fantastically, a good showing by Gunmaster G-9 and surprisingly Dr. Recommended getting knocked out early and gnomius later being eliminated.  Amby felt some players were very competent in Spanish, or hid it well. The only downside he felt as someone with very basic Spanish skills was the amount of time taken to read messages and formulate responses.But it got Amby reflecting on the time vDiplomacy created a Google Translate variant and game for Diplomacy, intuitively called "The language of the country immediately after the", although Kaner wanted to call it "The Meat Commission" as we discuss in the podcast.Mapu originally suggested the idea. When discussing it originally in the forum there were a number of ideas thrown around for how this could work eg start in your language and then translate 4 or 5 times, through to Kaner's suggestion to use something like Akuna's Bad Translator (note: this service has changed since the original competition and is no longer offered).The forum discussion then went on and ended up agreeing that you'd start with your own native language, translate it into one of three obscure languages that were within pre-World War 1 player's borders or nearby (eg France couldn't use French but could use Basque, Breton or Arabic - due to their colonies, England couldn't use English but could use Welsh, Irish or Hindi - again due to colonies, Russia could use Mongolian, Belorussian or Finish etc). Then you would translate this into an agreed totally different language such as Chinese traditional or Hebrew which would then be posted to players.Some of the choice postings came out after a number of translations - major major language warning!Amby acknowledges that he and Kaner were aiming to have a fun entertaining game although some players were playing it straight down the line.Amby goes on to say that he'd often check translation options between the three languages to see what worked best; either keeping it as clear as possible or as entertaining depending on what you wanted to achieve.Kaner suggests his brilliant idea on having a Google Translate meets Extreme Personalities game, and seeing player's interest in the forum. Likewise seeing from the forum whether players want to follow the same translation process used in the initial game, or do a 34 translation versionAmby brings up how the game often felt like the Youtube video by CDZA using Google Translate to twist the lyrics of the "Fresh Prince from Bel-Air" theme song.The guys acknowledge that while they still haven't yet had our webDiplomacy 2012 championship winners on for an interview, hopefully it'll happen soon. Then maybe we'll look at the Extreme Personalities in an upcoming variant.Kaner also says he'd like to cover off the Sopwith variant very soon. So stay tuned!

Cobwebbs: Cobwebbs have just recently released their second album on Sonic Masala records; ‘World Wide Webs’ is a strange yet abrasive rock record that builds on the strengths of their 2012 debut record. To put it simply, they’ve been writing better songs. As it turns out practice does make perfect. Members of the band also get involved in various other projects like: Barbiturates, Caterpillar Hood, Police Force, World War IV, Gold Shade. I hear the drummer even makes his own BBQ sauce. Recorded & mixed by Michael Whitney. Recorded at HappyFest, Brisbane. August 22nd 2014. ∑gg√e|n: ∑gg√e|n are hard to pin down, they’re not a conventional band. They have a situation similar to TISM, in that the band members prefer to adopt pseudonyms to mask their identity. ∑gg√e|n sound more like stoner metal than the alternative rock that TISM went for, although, both groups explore the philosophies of wankers and yobs, and the way of the world. Front-man Magnus ’Opus, a hairy mass of a man, he wails and moans like a more primal and less eloquent and ultimately taller Boyd Rice. There’s so much pain being expressed I’m not sure if these guys are suffering or loving every minute of it. Recorded by Michael Whitney. Mixed by Josh Watson. Recorded at HappyFest, Brisbane. August 22nd 2014. Airing details: Originally via Zed Digital, 8-9pm, Friday 5 September 2014. Show production and engineering: Josh Watson.

I'm relegated to podcasting from my local coffeehouse again, sorry about that. The ambient noise is MUCH worse than before as this joint has tile floors--a local hazzard. Apologies. I should have DSL at my Mom's house by tonight, but I wanted to get this posted before that. I'm already mighty late by previous East Coast standards.The trip, however, was successful, and we're all here safe and sound. Though, this morning's news filled me with dread as my darling husband has to fly back to New York saturday morning.World War IV, is what I'm hearing. WWIII was the Cold War, according to People I Trust.Sigh...Can't we all just get along?Even 'Liz and Darcy?This week, chapters 50-52!
