The Biden Presidency

[wayneL]

I don't know about that but one thing for sure Trump won't stop tweeting, maybe going on tv and trying to hog the limelight just because he is not President.
I think what he is doing to the Republicans is quite interesting. He has them running scared. Saying he will be contesting nomination in 4 years will have some of them in a cold sweat.

Both parties are in trouble internally.

You can count on The GE keeping himself in the limelight, dividing the 'Pubs, but the Dominionocrats are in a state of civil war between the neoLibs and the Loony Left too.

Then you have the sinister Globalists and the libertarian paramilitary... alt tech on the rise and MSM in deep financial shyte.

That's why I say >>anything<< could happen from here.

 

[PZ99]

Well, assuming the God Emperor doesn't get through scotus this time, who knows what will happen in 4 years time. With the cultural dynamics as they are, literally anything can happen by then.

Can anyone foresee a healthy economy and the rift created by the left healed within four years? I can't. I think there is more likelihood of civil war to be honest... True civil war, not like the war of secession last time.

I mean, Dominion and whatnot might be busted open by then and there may be free and fair elections.

Stranger things have happened.

I think the Republicans will be wanting to move on from this era of Twitter and intellectual litter.

They need to go through the process of renewal and rebuilding of trust and credibility and that can only happen with new leadership. Then they'll be a shoo-in because the demo's have exactly the same problem.

This is a very changed world and adaptation isn't possible without the flushing of tired old bitterly entrenched views about deregulation that originated in the 1980's... We don't want anymore ENRONs or GFC's thankyouverymuch

A healthy economy is one that doesn't repeat those mistakes.

I think some level of regulation is necessary, but as a point of order, GFC was not purely the fault of deregulation. it's genesis was in regulation and some creative Keynesian responses to the problems (and some bulshit Frankenomics).

a somewhat more Austrian approach would still have resulted in at level of bust but it would have happened much earlier, much more productively (think creative destruction) and to a lesser degree.

And we wouldn't have the critical mass of plutonium sitting under our financial system just waiting for a stray particle to enter.

Interestingly senator Roberts bail in amendment has been rejected... What does that tell you?

We already have that we just carry it around in our back pocket.

At least now if you're doing a hit job or a bank heist you can leave the damn thing home

But who knows, there was an interesting video on the world economic forum's website about stuff like that.

Can't be fagged searching for the micro/nanochip stuff. But here is something that was on their site for quite some time, but recently deleted, Hmmm.

Trump lost the election (flogged in over all popular vote) however the GOP made ground in the Congress and may yet hold the Senate.

Lets not talk about how this totally destroys the voter / Dominion fraud thing .....critical thinking required.

How ever the Republicans have no incentive to change the vibe or discussion.

I think this is the end of a empire where the Republicans in their quest for power simply don't GAF.

When you have a Trump in power breaking democratic intuitions / precedent (they are the things that democracy's depend on not politicians) and 70 mil vote for that then the end is neigh.

The end result is Australians will soon be speaking Chinese.

I just spit coffee over my keyboard, quite the most hilarious thing I've read on this forum for ages!

What will bring down Western democracies is the extreme tribalism that has developed, and if you can't see that in your own side as well, then you might as well stick a bone in your nose, wear shell necklaces and loincloths.

I don't see we westerners waking up soon enough so you are probably absolutely correct about learning Mandarin. I have already started, in fact.

I seem to remember saying in another thread we already carry ID around so the chipping is no problem for me, especially if it reduces your chance of being mugged in the street.

The God Botherer's opposition is based on the premise of it being the mark of the beast but as an atheist I discount it for similar reasons to discounting utopian dreams.

Even the bail-in doesn't phase me really because I never have cash and have paid all my non discretionary stuff well in advance.

Gimme a food voucher and I'm happy

I'm getting tired of the trolling and general unpleasantness going on in this thread. Play nice, or don't play at all.

Well that was great Wayne. Very inspirational indeed.
I decided to see just how some amazing ideas like these may have already been started.
Came across this Dutch New Age industrial designer and his team who have already created

• World largest air filter to turn city pollution into diamonds
• Giant energy producing kites complete with light show
• and much more.

Well worth checking out IMV.

About Us
As the social design lab, Dutch artist and innovator Daan Roosegaarde and his team of designers and engineers connect people and technology in artworks that improve daily life in urban environments, spark imagination and fight the climate crisis. We create dreamscapes for the liveability of our future landscapes. Clean air, clean water, clean energy, and now clean space are our new values.
Internationally acclaimed works include WATERLICHT (a virtual flood showing the power of water), SMOG FREE PROJECT (the world's first largest outdoor air purifier which turns smog into jewellery), SMART HIGHWAY (roads that charge throughout the day and glow at night) and the SPACE WASTE LAB (visualising and upcycling space waste).

Roosegaarde’s mantra 'Schoonheid’ is a Dutch word with two meanings: ‘beauty’, that comes from creativity; and ‘clean’, that comes from clean air and clean energy. For Roosegaarde this should be a fundamental condition in daily life.

Daan Roosegaarde frequently shares his visionary ideas and projects at lectures across the world, including at TED and NASA.
In his recent published Phaidon book Daan Roosegaarde says: "People won't change because of facts or numbers. But if we can trigger the imagination of a new world, that's the way to activate people. I don't believe in utopia, but in protopia; step by step upgrading the world around us. Art is our activator."

Studio Roosegaarde is located in a former glass factory in the harbour of Rotterdam NL, also known as the Dream Factory. Here new innovations are developed from concept into artistic installations. The Studio has a vast experience in public space commissions in cities such as Rotterdam, Beijing, Paris, Eindhoven and Stockholm. Our Studio also initiates its own projects to research new social innovations in collaboration with universities or partnerships with NASA and BMW, and has a pop-up studio in Shanghai, China.

Roosegaarde has exhibited at the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Design Museum in London, Tate Modern, the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo, the Musee des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, Google Zeitgeist and the Victoria & Albert Museum, and won numerous international innovation awards such as the Shenzhen Global Design Award.

Good find. Interesting concepts.

Not quite correct. I have agreed and liked a number of Waynes posts. It may be simpler to have a reflex dismissal of everything someone says but frankly I don't roll that way.

Wayne posted an "imagine this" clip which postulated a world that had moved in a fundamentally more sustainable, co-operative direction. I would hope most people would think that was a better world to live in than one where countries/people were abusive, suspicious and exploitative. I just decided to follow his lead and see if there were some concrete examples of this direction. Came up with the above post.

I have to admit I didn't watch the clip.

Investigation has been launched by GOP.

 

[IFocus]

I am not aware of any previous behaviour by a sitting US president (or aspirant for that matter) that has lost an election by such a commanding margin keep claiming to have won, this is of course a feature of elections south of the boarder.

With the failure to present evidence that any court so far has accepted (many cases before Republican Justices) including the overly conservative Supreme Court, at what point will conservative supporters stop giving cover to ongoing maleficent behaviour.

Given the death threats already sent the way of state politicians / officials Democrats / Republicans, surely your service to the people of the US doesn't give the green light to create these circumstances with no basis.

Is this the signal that the US is now a 3rd world country?

It was third world back in the early 90s as far as I was concerned. Felt like a crumbling empire.

Most were jumping on the bandwagon of every Trump conspiracy, that had little evidence, or that was flat out wrong. Did everyone forget the last 4 years?

I would say the opposition will take a similar time frame to accept the win (which we know is never).

The irony of this situation is outright bewildering. Along with the lack of self reflection.
