Thank you Perry of being so positive, I will answer to this funny post on a
funny way, take it cool, thank you.
>1) do your own homework - learn the truth - forget the psychobabble
Do you believe in one lonely truth? Which one? Hippie one, let's go back to
the farms and broke tv, or may be the white occidental way of life with a
anti-atomic shield in the garden, or is it the huitcholes shamanic one with
great-eagle incantations, or what is it? A nihilistic truth?
>2) 'steel' yourself mentally and emotionally for the probable events of the
>near future; admittedly, not easy to do
I don't think it's necessary to suffer physically from any pain to
understand world suffering and despair. That's something coming from deep
inside, don't you feel it?
>3) research suitable sites for relocation - those that increase your odds
>for survival
Odds for survival? Do you mean to became a Arnold Schwartscamembert or a
Rambo or may be a James Blond? No, no, let me guess! Robinson Crusoe!
>4) get the hell out of the city - better a year too early than 10 minutes
>too late
Sorry, but to make things move on a right scale, we must live in the heart
of the main big entities, London, New-York, Paris, Brussels, because the
changes to be done must hit the right person in the governments, EC, UNO,
WB, IMF...
>5) acquire those survival skills you may not already have - i.e.
>horticulture and animal husbandry, plumbing, sanitation, etc.
John is a pretty good gardener and I'm a wooden boat builder -we might need
one to sail away if our sustainable revolution fails ; -)
>6) prepare to hunker down and ride out the storm - as well as you can, for
>as long as you can
World Crash will sadly start in the south countries, it's started yet some
years ago and just increase its path to global South war (Colombia is the
last South American Vietnam...)
What I don't understand is how you can be that blind... Don't you remember
swimming in rivers, runing in the beach, walking through mountains... Try
to find peaceful places like that in the South countries, it's almost
impossible yet: pollution, hunger, war, over-exploitation, guerrilla,
overpopulation, Aids and so on have destroyed huge parts of the world.
Well, it's easier to found sane trees in the so-called "natural" parks in
the West of the US, pay your fee and walk in free...
>7) realize that the primary motivator for your own individual existence is
>to pass on your own genes, and that anything that will promote that (if you
>are awake) you will do, and anything that will hinder that, you will not
>allow
This is the most "primitive" argument I ever heard. One question: do you
have kids? I mean by your own? That answer might help me to understand this
"basic instinct" of yours... I have four kids, one of them is living in
Mexico with my first wife, I have been living in Mexico myself during seven
years, in that time (81-92 with breaks) the life was pretty hard, but since
the structural adjustment implemented by the IMF and the WB, each one of my
friends there is obliged to work on two jobs to survive, pay the rent and
breathe smog...
>8) realize, thus, that 'society' means little to your genes, but that being
>well-fed and alive tommorrow means everything...
At least 75 percent of the world popultaion lives in cities, the concept of
tribe exists since the prehistoric times, our evolution drives us to
apreciate other basic things as freedom, compassion, love, arts,
friendship, not only food and sex...
>9) create the most 'luck' (good fortune) for yourself and your loved ones as
>you can
Our loved ones are the population of the world, our heart is big enough to
keep humanity at large. Is it innate? For me it is, my father is French and
helped jewish people to cross the German free line in France during the
Second World War (Joseph Kessel in between many others), my mother is
Spanish and suffer from Franco dictatorship. My first wife is Mexican and
fighting with the Zapatistas. My three first kids are both French Spanish
and Mexican. My second wife is Indian, from Madras, and our girl is a real
mix. My son's girl friend is African... So, when you have the world at
home, humanity is full of friends and keep care of them is just an
evidence...
>10) plan for the worst, hope for the best
We plan the worst: the Crash
We hope the best: avoid it
That the reason of the existence of SP

>'mega-utopian-social-ideals'
It's easier for us to take care of the world with millions of friends
working as thousands of ants against the current neo-liberal machine,
something called Marabounta!!, than for you to make your familly fit into
your atomic shield in the backyard somewhere in the mountains...
