    I’m an old fart, so I hopefully won’t be around to see the inevitable chaos.

    If you’ve got no stake in this and nothing to lose, you probably shouldn’t be giving advice.

      I’ve got no advice to give. Just making a historical observation.

      Over time patterns in human societies emerge. Pointing them out doesn’t constitute advice, nor the promotion of events. Sadly, we can be prisoners of those events, mostly events that are beyond any individual’s control.

      Spotting smoke on a far distant ridgeline doesn’t cause the fire that comes roaring down towards your house.
