That's a really valid point, and one I had never considered. And, yes I think it would be the human element that would be the problem. That "attack anything unknown" mentality.

The thing is that we, on this little planet have very limited horizons and so there are constant struggles for minerals, land and wealth which all add up to 'power'. If you have mastered high speed inter stellar travel then you have access to all the land to live on you would need for a million years plus and all the mineral resources you would ever need and 'power' becomes a meaningless concept as there are no finite resources to control. The only reason to then travel the universe and visit other species is to simply reach out to other living beings. We look at the universe in the terms of our own little prison and treat 'aliens' as if they had that same blinkered, limited mentality. To a species who could visit us we aren't of any interest except as fellow creatures of the universe.
Think of this - A good large super nova will generate several times the mass of the Earth in Gold alone not to mention Platinum, Silver etc. and there are dead stars everywhere that are reckoned to be solid diamond. In those terms gold and diamonds become so common as to be only useful for industry and cease to have the values that we place on them because they are rare on our planet, well at least on the surface, as the core of the planet contains heavy metals in the millions of tons.

I've had an idea for some time that all the crap we have experienced over recent years is a smoke screen to divert attention from a known coming catastrophe, and the wealth transfer from the majority to the "elites" is an attempt to finance and build some infrastructure to ensure their survival at our expense
A bit like the premise of the Salvation series from a few years ago.Watch Salvation Season 1 | Prime Video
Salvation is a suspense thriller that centers on Liam Cole, an MIT grad student, and Darius Tanz, a tech superstar, who bring Pentagon official Grace Barrows a staggering discovery - that an asteroid is just six months away from colliding with Earth.

Ach I don't give a feck if they want to nick all the wealth for themselves and smoke the rest of us or let us be smoked.
Come sweet death I say and who'd want to live in a world populated only with the kind of pricks who would plot that anyway? As the years go by I become increasingly convinced that, as I think the Rosecrucians or was it the Cathars believed, that this 'life' is really Hell and the best thing we can do is depart this shit streaked filthy place.

The Randall Carlson video is good. But it would be handy if he could be more specific about the date of the next great catastrophe. I don't mean to the exact day or week, or even month. But it would definitely help if he could tell us the year in which it'll happen with a degree of accuracy.
If it's 2070, I doubt that most of us would give a shit. However, if it's 2040 we'd likely do something different with the remainder of our lives.

Nah it's quality of life not quantity and so I would carry on the way I already do enjoying what there is to enjoy, pissing off as many arseholes as I can and, when the reaper arrives I'll walk with him without a backward glance.
I tend to agree.

If this is true, then come the revolution many many people who have been robbing us for decades need to be held accountable. The guest in the video states that gas, electricity, and water is already paid for by us through our taxes, and we are made to pay for it again by having meters supplied by the service companies, and by replacing your meters with your own meters (installed by a registered professional) you do not have to then pay for gas and electricity etc.

I hope some of these sick bastards are finally taken down for this, and if guilty I hope Bill Gates is one of them as IMO he is one evil specimen, Beelzebub himself IMO

I've thought for a long while that what we are experiencing across the western world is due to the "elites" preparing for an apocalyptic event, syphoning as much money as possible from us ordinary people to finance their own survival projects, whilst distracting everyone with smoke screen crisis and restricting our freedoms to prevent us getting in their way...
Maybe its the total collapse of either the financial system, or civilisation breakdown, or maybe a natural cataclysmic event...

Hmmm.
If I know it's coming, there's a few people I would like the satisfaction of wiping out myself rather than let 'nature' take it's course.
I'd be doing them a favour...not like they could survive after an event anyway.

Here's an idea, when they have all scuttled underground to "safety", we lock the door from the outside, insert a hose pipe into the breather vent and turn the tap on. Maybe leave it running until it overflows?
