With the exception of some, those who are fighting a hard battle against you; to steal from you, to extort you, to enslave you, because this is their battle, to milk you as much as possible.
They are called politicians, NGOs and philantropists, charity organisations, public administration, corporatists, etc., they have many names and they absolutely want to "save" you, at any cost, even against your will, so if you don't want to be saved (from your money, from your work that hangs heavy in your refrigerator, pantry, clothes closet and in the parking lot, etc.) than they are ready to kill you (with an injection or something) or put you in prison, how dare you... to work, to have, and not to give them for free since they saved you... (from Russians, from Ukrainians, from Europeans, from Covid, from the Devil, and from his brother the Demon, yes, even religions are nothing but politics and robbery on the highway)
Christ calls you to work and to have to the fullest, so that you can give with joy.
Don't let them take your money, don't give it to them, let them work for themselves, let them leave politics and public administration (meaning theft with the law in their hands, because they, the bandits in power, hand in hand with the bandits in opposition, with the support of the bandits in the administration, police, judiciary, army, prosecutor's office, and the bandits in cults and religions, make up laws against you, an honest and hardworking human) and let them open a small business to work and produce what the neighbors buy with pleasure. That's work, not what they do.
Let me be blunt;
The next years will not be about comfort, but about self imposed balance. Not about panic, but about lucidity. Not about theories, but about what you do concretely with your life.
The next 10 years are not apocalyptic years. They are years of natural selection. Whoever enters unprepared, gets hurt. Whoever enters with a clear head, moves on.
The first thing you need to understand is that debt makes you a slave. Not tomorrow, not at a certain moment in the future.
Now.
In the world to come, the man with installments, leases, credit cards and useless subscriptions is no longer free. He is caught in a vice that is slowly tightening.
That is why the first step is brutally simple: cut your debts off. One by one. Not for the bank sake. For yourself. Freedom begins the day you no longer owe anyone anything.
And is not free.
Second thing: the kind of world where you had a job, a salary and the illusion of stability is already over. It died without a memorial service.
In the years to come, a single income means vulnerability. You need two, ideally three income sources. A main job, yes. But also a secondary skill, a parallel activity, something that produces money without depending on a single boss or a single system. It doesn't matter what. What matters is not to be left with your hand outstretched if one falls.
Government safety net... an illusion they mantain to keep you in check, and if that is no longer benefiting them... is gone together with the money you have put in it mandatory all the years you paid taxes.
And here we get to the essential: the skills. Not the diploma. Not the title. The real skill.
There are three types of skills that survive any crisis: the human ones, the technical ones and the practical ones. If you know how to talk to people, negotiate, organize, teach others, you don't starve. If you understand technology, automation, AI, data, you are in demand. If you know how to repair, build, grow, do something with your hands, you will always have value.
Stop watching movies, start watching tutorials, and than try to see if you can do that yoursef.
Those who only know how to “get hired” and "hold to a job" will be the first ones to be sacrificed.
Then comes the family. No, we are not living in apocalyptic movies. But there will be shocks. That is why, not out of fear, but out of reason, you need minimal stocks: food for a few days, water, basic medicine, batteries, cash, a list of contacts, clear routines for the children.
Not to hide, but so as not to panic when others do.
And there is something else that people underestimate: community. The individual alone breaks down. The isolated family exhausts itself. The nation without communities falls apart.
You need a few reliable people. Not many. Three to five are enough. Neighbors, friends, people with whom you can build something real. Nobody goes through hard times alone.
On the financial side, the rule is one: don't put everything in one place.
Not just the bank, do you know how many people got de-banked last year alone for saying something, or for re-tweeting some meme... Not just cash, and the cash itslef not a single currency, have more than one. Not just crypto, extrmelly volatile just like money held in any bank. Not just property, taxable, confiscable, government knows you have it, so is like they have it whenever they see fit to confiscate it. You mix valubles, especially untraceable ones. You divide in more locations, different countries, various jurisdictions. You expose yourself partially everywhere, but not tottaly in a single place. Those who diversify never go completely down. You might lose some, or in some country, but stay afloat in the others.
But the safest investment remains the one in yourself. Everything can disappear: money, systems, structures, properties.
What you know cannot be taken away from you. Real education, mental development, psychology, foreign languages, social skills, understanding of technology and the world — these remain.
Next comes the part that many ignore: the mind.
Systems can collapse. But the disciplined, calm, lucid person, who does not get dragged into the hysteria of the crowd, thrives.
Reduce media consumption. Do not let yourself be emotionally manipulated. Learn to recognize propaganda (on both sides). Do not feed on panic. The mind is the shield. Not the body.
At some point, you will also have to get out of false identities. Politics, labels, sterile arguments, useless comparisons, religions. All this empties you. Return to the simple questions: who are you, what do you want, what are you capable of, what is truly yours.
And we come to the area that the world avoids, but which decides everything: the soul.
The old world is collapsing, and dirty souls fall with it. Lies, betrayal, hatred, envy, manipulation, laziness — all of these drag a person down. A pure soul attracts pure realities. Not mystical. Practical.
True spirituality is not a show. It is not TikTok. It is not an internet guru. It is silence, prayer, tradition, morality, heavy books, wise people. In a world without landmarks, this becomes the most solid shield.
Strategically speaking, you do not fall in love with empires. Neither the USA, nor Russia, nor China, nor the EU, nor the BRICS. They are all transient structures. The intelligent person does not get emotionally attached.
They adapt. They looks for the real advantage. Go with the flow without losing your backbone.
If we were to compress everything into one page, it would sound like this: live debt-free, have more income streams, develop real skills, build community, do not depend on the state, have minimal reserves, diversify, discipline your mind, cultivate spirituality, adapt, do not panic, do not victimize yourself.
The man who will live well in 2026–2036 will be neither the richest, nor the most vocal, nor the most aggressive. He will be the most balanced, lucid and pure in soul.
The rest… will consume themselves into oblivion.
Factual irrefutable science has always being:
Lots of confabulation based on precision guess work mathematically derived from imaginary numbers in lack of facts, derived from assumptions made on known theories and accepted as absolute reality, that covers less than nothing out of the entirety.
Theories now deemed obsolete by the same science once evolved, and now known as ¨full of flaws on the base of new acquired knowledge¨ and the newly theories derived from.
Which ¨new theories¨, based on past experience, cover themselves less than nothing compared with what it is out there to be known, and thus expected to be full of flaws and absolutely untrustable as soon as more knowledge is acquired, but sold again as the absolute truth that covers them all aspects possible and impossible, thus infallible, just like the old ones in the past.
Big Bang never existed, according to the new theories, that invalidate the conclusions of the old one now incorporated as a tinny part of the new ones.
I ask myself what ¨future new knowledge¨ will invalidate out of the nowadays ¨absolute truth¨ sold as irrefutable by the so called science that behave and always have behaved more like a religion than like what it would of being expected from science.
Ok, me; engineer, prototyper, coming from robotics, hands on mechatronic for industrial automation, I made myself two or three 3D printers out of crappy kits heavilly modified to make them perform as I needed, so they no longer are as bought, including motherboards, nozzles, heatsinks, stepper motors, etc, just the frames are less modified, but not virgin.
I design, print, test, and obviously re-design, for the iterarion of a product from idea to good to sell sometimes takes me to hundreds of re printings and design adjustments.
Why am I saying this?
Glass transiton, that is why.
Some of my products are made to improve 3d printers so that a crappy 200-500USD kit printer can do things normally you got to buy a 30.000 USD printer for, by just printing a few STL files of mine and mounting the prints to the printer, plus some things you buy online, and you go from PLA to... Polycarbonate, Nylon, PPS, printing capacities, and with some more twickening you go to over 400C printing PEEk and ULTEM. On your cheap kit toy, doing things for the big boys only. But without investing like the big boys.
Some other objects I create are designed to stay in a vehicle, be it on the wheels hub, or in the cabin on the dashboard, etc
As you can imagine my creations meet high operational temperatures be it from the heated print bed working just next to them at 120C, or the heatblock at 450C at 3 mm away from my object while printing for 32 hours non stop, or sitting on the dashboard of a car in the summer sun with a 75 C built in cabin heat.
Conclusion; PLA nope (becomes mushy at 50C), PETG nope, ABS neiter, HIPS no no, ASA neither (they all give in around 90C).
I tried them all during the years, they all get mushy and loose their shape, and since they are not decorative parts buut actually functional things, once their shape is a bit compromised, they do not work anymore, they become trash and end up in a bin.
So I modified my machines to go Polycarbonate, with or without Carbon fiber in the filament (Cf filament prints nicer, but becoming more stiff the part also becomes more brittle, is a trade off) or Nylon and similar, for the cheap products, (not as cheap as PLA thou... lol) but if I need to go really reliable mechanical than PPS with or without CF is a good option, and ULTEM (PEI) which is more expensive than PPS but also better heat glass transistion resistance.
PPS has amazingly the same glass transition as ABS (HIPS, ASA) but if anealed it jumps to nearly 200C resistance before deforming.
You will never get that from ASA, HIPS, ABS, PLA or PETG, not even from Polycarbonate, but hey, 150C before becoming mushy is still a good point in many applications, Nylon is a bit lower in that respect, around 140C gives in, but is more plastic deformable tolerant, practically is a pereneal hinge, you bend it back and forth a milion times before you shear it.
There you go, my two cents on materials to use in cheap 3D printers rightly tunned.
How disinformed do you have to be to believe the nonsense about Trump saving the planet, or Trump destroying the planet with his policies?
As seen from space; the earth is a sphere, while politics is called... the political sphere, so the center is somewhere on the equator, to its right are the right-wing parties, to the left of the center are the left-wing parties, and on the opposite side of the center are the extreme right and the extreme left which are one and the same thing because the extremes touch and merge with each other.
Until now in the European Community we have had communism on bread disguised as a cardboard carnival with puff pastry, where anything that was extreme left was officially upheld as... left, and the center left was... the center, in conclusion everything that would be authentically center in real therms, for them is already right-wing, and the right was extreme right, and that extreme right... well, that doesn't exist because it has already merged with the extreme left, meaning they are all with them in office anyway.
And behold, until yesterday we had the USSR of Brussels.
Now comes the new order from the heads of the political sphere, no, not from politicians like Macron, Trump, Trudeau, Xi, Kim, or Ursula Von Der Liar, these are just pawns who execute, far above them are those who really command, and they are pushing Trump to move the center to... center right, shifting the authentic center as... center left, and the extremes as we already know are all the same, that is, they touch and merge with each other.
Anything but, as long as we don't have a balanced political center at all, because that would mean the end of invented wars and pandemics, and invented crises of all kinds, that is, their source of money would dry up suddenly and all at once.
So sticking with Trump and his policies is unimaginably stupid, and sticking with EU, Ursula, Macron etc. and their policies is stupidity of exactly the same magnitude (Zelinsky and Ukraine do not count in the equation, they are there just to keep you busy, circens et panem).
For those who have politicians in their pockets will play you at this game like a fool, just as they have been playing you for at least 15 generations that I know of.
They know these EVs will never fly. The issue is mobility. They are throwing people a carrot to get them out of the ICE cars then the EVs are next.
You will not be able to afford to charge them. Your taxes will go up because they chew the crap out of the roads, you will have to replace tires all the times again because these monsters are so heavy they chew up the roads and your tires (and the tires will be unaffordable expensive).
Then car insurance will soar because if you damage the battery in one of these babies they must be totalled and that will cost another unaffordable amount to replace and if you hit some one with these cars the damage will be catastrophic because again they are extremely heavy.
The war is NOT against fossil fuels. The war is against mobility. They want you out of your car, unable to travel outside your 15 Minute City so they can monitor and control everything you do and say.
WAKE UP. Buy an EV and you are helping the demise of mobility. The issue is NEVER the issue.

1. There are plenty of people who don't want personal cars. And with the advances in driver-less cars the real question is will owning a personal vehicle regardless of its fuel source be a thing?
David Alexander McCauley
2. They are developing batteries out of hemp, yet another use for that wonderful plant, which I imagine would bring the battery price down substantially since hemp is a plant and renewable. Keep an eye on how batteries are made.

3. If you're worried about long distance travel why are we not using trains more?
Seriously why is Canada and the U.S. so obsessed with cars when they could have bullet trains or maglevs running across the continent?
Also cars moving within a city usually have speed limits imposed on them for safety sake.
So really you're not really going that far or fast for an urban commute half the time. I know because I routinely compare the time it takes me to walk from a to b compared to taking the bus. Usually it's faster to walk there.
Like I really don't understand why you are such an advocate for big oil and car culture when the tech to free us of reliance on such things exists.

4. Have you not heard of the hydrogen fuel cell aka the water powered car?
Pop Emil
You give me the impression you have no clue what I am talking about, neither what are you talking about, but you are talking nonetheless, enthusiastically.
Today I minced 400 miles going places without any train connection if not going around and doing what I accomplished in 15 hours in maybe.... 3 days.
David Alexander McCauley
you are trying to criticize my logic while not making a rational rebuttable and butchering your statement with spelling errors and bad grammar?
So what if you chose not to, or couldn't take the train.
That isn't a point in your favor.
The point is that there should be an adequate high speed public transit network that doesn't rely on fossil fuels so people don't need cars.
The fact you're bitching about car ownership so bad just proves that point.
Why would owning a vehicle be important if you had a public transit system connecting communities and that spanned the continent?
Okay you'd want a personal vehicle to explore or go off into the wilderness but how many people do that?
The majority of people live in cities or even just stay at home in suburban or rural areas.
How many people make a point of going off out in the wilderness?
Because that is the ONLY real valid use I can think for a personal vehicle vs a comprehensive public transit hub, self driving cars and maglevs for long distance transit.
Pop Emil
to start with, my grammar errors are not my problem, but of those that hunt for them, deal with it, I don't care.
Than talking about fallacies, I live in a large city, but my work takes me to everywhere from farms 100 miles away to other cities, villages and sometimes countries, traveling by public transport or electric vehicles would raise my costs from triple to 10 times fold, and my travel time from ten times fold upwards, things that I could sort out in one day take four days and 3 hotel nights, talking of simple logic.
Like me is 30% of Earth population at least, the rest of you, the 15 minutes people, can do whatever you want.
But without us your nice and cozy Megalopolis would crumble into deep shit and rubble in a decade, so with all the hate you have towards us, we keep you alive and out of a dystopian world so you can worship your goddess Greta.
I think we should simply stop and let you fix your own problems, that would be fair enough.
This way the Earth population would be reduced to half a billion in a decade due to starvation and diseases sprung from non collecting your garbage and not cleaning your sewage, not feeding you with our work and the resulting food that you consume while hunting grammar errors of us online and doing nothing else to make this world better, and the rest of us, those that actually do something, half a billion of engineers, farmers, agriculturist, vehicle drivers, etc, that travel a lot for for work and for fun, would finally enjoy living on this planet instead of slaving ourselves out of any time to have fun just to keep you alive to criticize us while doing nothing to help us save your arses.
And if "owning a vehicle to go into the wilderness to explore it" is "the only way you can think of it" than sorry my friend, besides the outrageous fallacies in your (so called) logic, you don't even do much thinking either, at least not the type that is anchored into reality.
(you may notice this is the last reply, I have never heard from him again)
