Have you ever wondered what the beginning of the end of the oil era looks like? Look around, we are living in it!

This is a good collapse in many ways, except the resistance to it is driving genuinely bad collapse like Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the US’s attempts to villainize and go to war with Venezuela. It used to all come back to oil, now it all comes back to having a secure, defendable way to make sure you can still sell your oil uninterrupted.

-The Moment The Music Stops In Oil Company Musical Chairs- would be my caption for this moment in history

The question is which collapse do we get? The collapse of fossil fuels or the collapse of everything else?

    We are NOT in the second great depression. I know we aren’t. I’m too young to count and know the real number and so is literally everyone else that’s alive.

    If you try to argue with me, I don’t care because you clearly don’t understand what math is; no matter how well you can finagle numbers. Also, Mani Mani ain’t real. No matter how much or long you think it is, I guarantee you won’t have a soul left though. You should get better boots, BTW.

      Uh, no fucking clue if that was all a joke or reference I’m not getting, but uh, yes, I agree.

      I do need better boots.

        Humour never not present. Even when you think you know. So if not, be sure keep your mind open and perceive it. Usually it’s outside your dimension, so not a consequential inference. So best to not sweat potential implications but don’t ever close your eyes to what must always be viable. Even when you think you get it.

        Humour is invariable the most necessary cognitive means to enlarging one mental capacity. It is the only way to break all barriers on understanding.

        If you can gain that capacity, even Lovecraft’s “horror” can do what he gave viable a path to anyone who chose to learn enough.

        Cthulhu is like Thanos. When you do figure it out, you can realize those Villains as the “good.”

        Loki is, indeed, a key. Got to that first episode of the second season and literally every scene was a to the point spot on explanation of everything I saw on DXM+Salvia Divinorum. The latter a pointless chaos, and the former a meaningless translation. Together they were exactly everything Loki revealed in that one episode. Season 1 was a base to understand that episode’s context for revelation of, the rest afterward was arbitrary plot for that & details enamoured for context, and, of course, humour.

        Ask a Juggalo.

          You know, I’ve done hallucinogens before, Salvia was one of them, I’ve also had a psychotic break before, and I’m fairly sure you’re having one right now.

          Not judging, no point in that, just saying… maybe take it a little bit slower than you currently are.

          If somebody called in a wellness check on you right now,you’d end up in an involuntary, temporary hold, if you’re thinking/talking like this in real life, if this isn’t you doing a bit.

          Like, I do actually mostly understand what you’re saying in this comment, you’re doing a bunch of very higher order/level abstractions and comparisons, that most people can only do at very, very simple/basic levels, syntactically, and I do follow most of them, but the problem is that if I lack the level of base knowledge of the things you are referencing, comparing…

          Well, then it sounds more or less insane, especially to a normie, especially to mental health professionals.

          Because the shared context doesn’t exist, the comparisons seem nonsensical, but because you also wield the comparisons with confidence, this is interpreted as mania, a manic episode, psychosis, something like that.

          Please do be careful.

            hallucinogens before, Salvia was one of them,

            Salvia is not a hallucinogen. Hallucinogen is like “Addiction” and “Money.” None of them are real. They may be a meaningful direction to talk about similar observations but one must be clear that these are not real things, mostly because you don’t know what you’re perceiving. On a fair point though, on the two comparisons I throw on to a similarity knocking point, at least there’s enough basic logic I could reasonably establish there void of existence.

            If you’re attending that basic notion, consider dividing them from any perspective that aren’t the one’s given for such to be done. Then substantiate their existence in anything other than a person’s belief.

            Let me know if you find any basic logic establishing any reality to any of those four things.

            Anyway, back to my original point on Salvia Divinorum. Salvia is like a Liquid Kaleidoscope. It’ll make no sense and do nothing more than scramble all perceptions you have with any other perceptions, and most likely, with perceptions you didn’t know you have. Furthermore, until you acknowledge the existence of perceptions you didn’t know you have, even DXM can’t translate for you.

            I could tell about my experiences from decades ago, years ago. I could describe the difference of those experiences with and without the translator (DXM). I don’t think I will unless you can be open to the base of considering the means of the reasons, logic, perception, illusion, allusion, purpose and, well, infinite dimensions and more.

            Not judging, no point in that, just saying…

            I don’t think you understand what it means to be Just Sayan. I know I don’t but I think I can gather more than you are handling understanding of. Learning to Understand is an infinite path. Consider that. I’m not trying to tell you what what. I don’t really care what you think what what is. That’s pointless because it’s a distraction. Communication is a structure that must be built. Stories are great reference points, like bricks, when building.

            Like, I do actually mostly understand what you’re saying in this comment

            I wouldn’t even be this far in a response if I didn’t think you would. I do know that you can.

            you’re doing a bunch of very…

            That is, quite pointedly, exactly my active project. Establishing a sort of communication means that even I lack any real words to describe let alone name or any much more than allude to incompletely. I don’t need you but I do need someone. Many of which have been met.

            Anyway, Tell me you don’t think Heath Ledger’s Joker wasn’t the real Hero. Then try to define Psychosis for me. Also, stop Drinking MiKelobe ULTRA.

            I’d apologize, but I don’t know what it mean to do that upon this. I no longer understand what “careful” means anymore. I analyzed the word til it fell apart and nothing remains like fear.
