How do you plan your goals?

I try to think how I get to the finish line. It does not always work.

Create an emergency preparedness plan.

There are all kinds of emergencies, like when the civilization is standing most of your worries are financial. This is why you need several sources of income and highly diversified. But when shit hits the fan, the best plan is to run somewhere it hasn’t and make your life there. But in case you cannot, you need to be armed, and have food that you can store without fridge. You can only hope whatever situation you are in will pass because then it is back to the dark ages. Can you farm? Can you hunt?

What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world?

I hope some of my writing will inspire people but really, I don’t care.

Pattern of History

What are you curious about?

I am curious about human history at least from the beginning of the Holocene. The various technological revolutions like Agriculture, Metallurgy, and Coinage. I am trying to find a discourse to speak about them, and identify secondary revolutions.

For instance, Agriculture led to the growth of material culture, and the birth of first cities. And while Agriculture meant corralling of herd animals, Metallurgy ment corralling of the people. The master and slave relationship was born, without which the birth of the first civilizations wouldn’t be possible. Coinage, developed in the 5th century BC made Industrial Revolution and capitalism possible many centuries later.

Karl Jaspers described the last revolution as the Axial Age. Not only coinage was developed but this was a philosophical and religious revolution, first histories were written. This form of speculation also contributed to the scientific and industrial revolutions centuries later.

And following the pattern we are up for another technological revolution about a thousand years from now, which will bear fruits again in several hundred years after that. This is a question to the futurists, Ray Kurzweil thinks technological singularity is near, so it cannot be what I think. Provided, Kurzweil is wrong and there will be a dark age and regression on the way, which would also follow the pattern.

The eventual outcome is humanity becoming a type I civilization on the Kardashev scale. This means that it will use the entire energy of planet earth. Fossil fuels might be finite and dirty but energy is actually abundant. It is a question of how we harness it, store it and use it.

Write about a random act of kindness you’ve done for someone.

I let a homeless guy have a shower at a place I rented, I will never do anything like that again.

Was today typical?

Monday is never typical. Typically, I would sleep until ten and then work on my astrology project but it is usually disrupted by the fact that Monday is a day off. Today, I have a dentist appointment for instance.

How would you describe yourself to someone?

Skinny motherfucka with a big cock…

If you won two free plane tickets, where would you go?

Somewhere sunny, with low crime rate. I like a spot in Southern Italy, and I really don’t go anywhere else on holiday. It is not in Naples, the area is not too sketchy. I feel safe. If my tickets were paid for two years in a row, it would be cool.

What would you change about modern society?

I realized that one person can do fuck all to influence change in society. You need money and connections to influence anything. And that’s why I want the soyciety to leave me the fuck alone.
