I agree. The "other shit" factor is sure to be wild as well. Most of what I was spitballing would fall into that "other shit" designation. Maybe North Americana shits the bed and ends up being colonized by China. I've figured a Chinese takeover of the US would resemble a corporate merger rather than a military action. China has similar hooks in Canada, I believe. We could become the north american division of China Inc.

Somewhere in this mess it would be nice if some people would modernize to the point where they no longer need to drop bombs or even take military action. It is pretty damn pointless, aside from propping up certain economies.

Drones should make human combatants obsolete. Any attack would be on infrastructure or civilians.

Again, all this collapses into dystopia at some point. It is hard to even dare to imagine a wonderful future, even with bitcoin holding out a glimmer of hope.

And this is why it is so critical to create a wonderful present, where each day is the best you could hope for. Thrive. Not for the future, but for now. Store up these good times, we'll need them during the hard times, and we'll store up good times then as well. I think that is the best meaning of stay humble, stack sats.

And Mexicans are amazing people! Actually, people are all amazing everywhere, and everyone is just trying to make the best of their existence.
