As I say, it depends on the depth of the fall. We could fall through war and feudalism to an early medieval level in which all our advanced technology...

I'm impressed with your recent paintings, you have really caught to light in the Pismo beach painting.

I was focusing more on the impact on humanity of the changes than on the climate. The mass extinction event could hit hard. I'll post something in the...

I'm happy with it, so not alarmed. But a universal basic income would turn off the majority of voters in the UK. And yes the scale of the reform and w...

I suggest you take a look at a UK Green Party manifesto, I'm a Green voter, so I'm happy with it, myself.

I'll give you the one about Venus, I don't get exposed to notions like that were I live. It's to early for the fall here as of now, we've just had a w...

Yes, I heard, really interesting.

This time will be different, we will leave a lot of pollution, a destabilised climate and a mass extinction event.
October 03, 2020 at 21:13
Yes, I would go a little further, I would define it as a significant collapse in civilisation, a return to a dark age.

Trump has just been taken into hospital, a precautionary measure apparently. Although, the White House has a full medical facility.

Trump's comments about voter fraud showed desperation. No one could take that seriously, also it shows contempt laid bare for the electoral process.

Michael Gove is meeting Barnier today, let's see if he manages to sweet talk him. I suspect he will be laughed at.
