Fema budgets, ok seriously, this is just another BAIL OUT structure.  They say "investing" in resiliance. And yet they rebuild in the same place, adhere to the identical codes that failed the first time, OR WORSE, built a cost reduced version that isn't even as good as the original (New Orleans). 

That's Bail-Out. It's wasteful and STUPID.

There is going to be rapid weather intensification sooner, and more numerous.  This disaster structure is unsustainable.
Thankfully it is changing.
In order to get the bailout, until earlier this year, you had to rebuild in the same place and there was strict stipulations as well as limits on how much you got if you rebuilt in the same place. This is why the wealthy salivated when a storm came through, it allowed them to hoover up property at a fraction of the cost as we saw after Katrina.

Also it's really easy to over-insure your property, collect the funds to "replace" everything, and then just pocket the money. Sell the lot for 50k and you keep the insurance settlement. Pay off the mortgage and now you have an even bigger downpayment on the next property.

July 2023, scientists believe is the hottest month in the last 100,000 years.

July 2024, was even hotter than that.

Just wondering how many of these we have left.

We just had Hurricane Helene and Milton, And everything in its path is already back on fire. 

Large hurricanes have an energy equivalent of ~10,000 nuclear bombs.

This is Hundreds of times more than the total electricity generated by mankind.

So, even with all that Godlike energy converted to wind and water.   These forest fires continue to burn.   

What chance does mankind have. Even if firefighting is the job of every single man woman and child, what good would it do?

Scanning over Project 2025 again, I am completely perplexed as to why they want to effectively delete both the National Weather Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

I know that their fundamental concept is to destroy the government completely, but what could  possibly  be the benefit of people (regular people as well as scientists) not knowing what is happening in the world around us?
"Evil always carries within itself the germ of its own subversion in that it leaves behind in human beings at least a sense of unease; (however) against stupidity we are defenseless. Neither protests nor the use of force accomplish anything here; reasons fall on deaf ears; facts that contradict one's prejudgment simply need not be believed - in such moments the stupid person even becomes critical - and when facts are irrefutable they are just pushed aside as inconsequential, as incidental. In all this the stupid person, in contrast to the malicious one, is utterly self-satisfied and, being easily irritated, becomes dangerous by going on the attack.
For that reason, greater caution is called for when dealing with a stupid person than with a malicious one. Never again will (should) we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous”

This is exactly what Tp has been trying to explain to old people.

It's NOT about any of the stuff they OPENLY talk about. The entire political process is a distraction from what's really going on.

Ben Shapiro. That sonava'b  is Jewish.  Why is he supporting the neo-nazi, fascist, republican party ?

He's NOT, The Jewish people (Israel) gets something out of it.  They don't care about nazis, or transgender, or abortion.  The REALITY of the situation is, They want America to send our country bumpkin soldiers to finish the Genocide they started.

BOTH candidates have already bowed to the Jewish lobby.  They both intend to increase military spending/ activity.

Democrat warlords, doesn't want it to look ugly. They want it to not LOOK like a genocide, even though, that's obviously what it is.

Republican warlords, don't give a damn, they intend to just squish Gaza. (at least that's what the back room deal w/ Israel, seems to be.)  Will they actually follow through, who knows.  Israel is at the very least under the impression that they can ascertain this outcome far more easily under Trump. So he's their horse.

Ben Shapiro, Yamaka wearing social media personality, his JOB, is to get Trump elected. The average republican are just southern bumpkins. They're uneducated, racist, religious, and naive.  They identify as the disenfranchised and with Nazis,  Well then, Ben Shapiro has their back.

This is what they don't want to talk about.  Farmer's kids are going off to die, in a war, in a land America has absolutely no need or use for.

The Military is a solution without a problem. So, they've resorted to creating them for the sake of staying in power and to drink up the civilian tax dollars. They are using their monopoly on violence to enrich themselves politically and monetarily. Every empire of the past has done this prior to rapid decline, and our American Imperialist Regime is no different.



Honestly, this politics they play doesn't matter, in wars, we'll just have millions of dead people.

But if we Do Not stop ANIMAL AGRICULTURE, we will have BILLIONS of dead people.

Everything has to do with weather science.

The entirety of our existence, thoughts AND actions, impact the weather.

Animal Agriculture is our most Extreme most potent failure as a species.  It is a physical violence upon animals, but it also encompasses the Speciecism (identical to Racism) which is the belief that our mere ability to kill/dominate them justifies the action.

Animal Agriculture is the leading cause of deforestation and land based carbon emission when land-use opportunity cost is taken into account.

We don't know if this information would make a big difference. There's only a chance that it might.

For example, You're about to fall off the cliff.  Would it be faster for someone to simply grab you from falling, OR, would it be better to read you the scientific reasons why gravity exists, and that it is about to kill you, in the 10 seconds before you walk off the edge.

It's never as simple as we think.  Your generation had the time to learn something and act on it, you failed, our generation "MIGHT" need dictatorship.

Why should Gen Z give a single **** when older generations have seemingly done everything they can to ensure they have no future. No hope of retirement, owning a home, and most young couples actively avoid having children strictly because they cannot afford to do so.
Stupid people are still banging like rabbits and pumping out kids they can't support, ensuring they continue the stupid bloodline of poor choices.
Couples with enough brain cells to rub together to produce a lucid thought are tactically removing themselves from the genepool. Scary stuff.
It all ultimately plays into the elimination of the middle-class, getting rid of independently thinking and intelligent lower-class people and replacing them with dribbling selfish morons who only care about themselves, right now, and have zero concern for their or the World's future.

Hope for Gen Z isn't high, with all the digital media addictions and ubiquitous drug use among the lower income classes.

But, they are the generation that will hit the wall, so, they will "Have to" do better, assuming they even have enough time, which Tp4 does not believe they do.

This is the last generation of Adult humans right now, who have a chance at doing anything at all in a last ditch effort to reverse climate change, and pretty much we haven't even started.

Except the Vegans, but there're some very difficult hurdles which prevent further growth, the General Ignorance and Toxic Manosphere culture. 

NT mentions science and education, well, I gauge NT to be in the middle of the curve on intelligence, and yet, he's clearly not able to break free from Meat-Ignorance, despite allegedly facing very real consequences of personal debility/death.

Meat = Strong, even when every piece of credible science says eating Meat = man boobs, cancer, hair loss, diabetes, erectile dysfunction and heartdisease.

lucid thought are tactically removing themselves from the genepool


This is a colossal tragedy and what angers me the most. They are not "removing themselves from the gene pool" - they are preventing their potential children from ever existing!

Personally, I look at it as really a matter of extreme selfishness. I hear these arrogant little twits saying stuff like "I don't want to bring a child into a ****ty world."

Horse****! I think that they are just too lazy and selfish to accept the responsibility of parenthood and think that claiming to do it for the sake of preventing their theoretical children from potential suffering allows them to feel a false sense of nobility.

It is true that the genuinely stupid and ignorant members of the human race reproduce like cockroaches because having sex is about the only thing that makes them feel alive, but real parenthood is not at all the same as animal mating.

My parents invested tremendous time and energy in making and nurturing me (although I know full well that I was actually an "accident"), and the only way to repay them is to do the same for the next generation. Raising children means devoting approximately the middle third of your life (ie time, energy, money, and pretty much everything else) to preparing them for their own lives. It is by far the most difficult thing that people do in their lifetimes, but also by far the most rewarding.

By failing to continue their own "genepool" as you call it, those with "lucid thought" as you call it, are deliberately working toward downgrading the quality of the overall gene pool of the human race itself.

I am no JDV by any means, and I understand that people who subscribe to the TP4 tissue school of nihilism take delight in watching the world burn -
  - but for those of us who live to appreciate the joy and awe of the universe - well - I would not have wanted to cheat my children out of the entirety of their lives, regardless of the imperfection of the world that they will live it in.

Personally, I want kids very much. I just can't find anyone to have them with, and at the point I'm at, and duration of being single, I've come to a numb acceptance that I'll never have that family I want so badly. Probably won't ever have sex again in my lifetime. I simply don't see any situation where that would ever happen again.
It is likely for the better, as any 'normal' human wouldn't be able to be single and celibate for as long as I have, even willingly.
Just part of the overarching curse that is my life /shrug

Fohat, a society can not function, if every person born is of equal intelligence, equal compassion, equal physical strength, equally good looking, etc.

A society, requires control mechanisms, it requires muscles, it requires transport, it requires expendable soldiers that take orders without much thought of their own,  JUST as a single human body is not composed of cells of the same type.

There are different classes of humans, this is just a fact of life,  but there is not as you say, Cockroach class. The less-minding class are a necessary and valid existence, if not for them in significantly greater numbers than bookish-humans, society could not be built..


The gene pool is optimal as is, you may assume that Today's-masters-of-this-world have the best genes, this couldn't be further from the truth, they have the Controller Genes, and they assume/gravitate towards their societal role/ destiny.

Remember, there is SEXUAL-selection, and there is NATURAL-selection.   Natural selection is macro-scale long term adaptation, Sexual selection is rapid radical changes.

If it was as you say, the smarter the human the better, the smarter the animals the better,  Very quickly, within 10 generations, all humans and all animals would be significantly smarter than 1st gen.   And yet there is no indication of this.   If anything, the distributions in intelligence has mostly stayed the same.

This means, nature actively selects AGAINST intelligence to a degree, WHY does it do this. That's from natural selection.  We are not all supposed to be the same, and we have our own DIVERSE biological destiny/role to fulfill.



As for whether some humans are "too lazy" to have children. Probably, but again, this is genetic destiny. Nature has a programming,   it says,  Under ABXY-circumstances,  do not feel compelled to procreate.

We are in those circumstances Today.

Without going into a very long and convoluted story, I got married shortly after I turned 40 and my (ex) wife turned 30. My kids were born when I was in my mid-40s and it worked out well enough, although I wish that it had all happened sooner. But it just wasn't in the cards.

One thing that has been proven over many studies, over many decades, is that intelligent people seem to be overall less happy and fulfilled. There is something to be said for blissful ignorance. That's why drugs and alcohol exist.

These studies are murky because there is no definitive definition for Happy.  So when they spread people out, they're not measuring the same thing for each person.

Though possible, it is highly unlikely you were designed incorrectly.

The totality of the human races is in a situation of evolutionary mismatch. That is the only logical reason SO MANY humans could feel lonely and out of place ALL AT ONCE. You're not the only Shrigma male. Technology moved faster than our biology adapts.

You have to remember, Inter-glacial periods only last ~10,000 years.

It is very likely, that several previous races of Humanoids achieved our level of technology, killed the biosphere, and collapsed back into the ice-age.

With each successive trial, it's improved. That is to say, the planetary genetic construct is already complex enough to create all the things we have created.  This isn't the first time.  It's only the latest trial.   Which also looks to be failing, but there's hope. 

Ending Animal Agriculture is the only solution that's going to buy us some time.

Cyberware/ AI transcendence is the next bottleneck which might kill us.

My theory is that people who live lives of gratitude and awe tend to be happy, and that people who live in suspicion and anger are unhappy.

Scanning over Project 2025 again, I am completely perplexed as to why they want to effectively delete both the National Weather Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

I know that their fundamental concept is to destroy the government completely, but what could  possibly  be the benefit of people (regular people as well as scientists) not knowing what is happening in the world around us?

While yes, NOAA promotes climate change (climate is their thing), they actually wanted it gone long before it became a hot button topic because of (heavy) lobbying by Accuweather who wants to be able to charge for weather satellite imagery. They used "small government" as an excuse.

From the wiki

Joel Myers faced criticism in 2005 when he supported the National Weather Service Duties Act of 2005, a bill introduced by U.S. Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) that would have prohibited the National Weather Service from publishing weather data to the public when private-sector entities, such as AccuWeather, perform the same function commercially.Myers has been a long-time large donor to the Republican Party, its candidates, and to Santorum, a former home-state Senator.


The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs compiled a report by federal investigators that started after a complaint filed Sept. 6, 2016, alleging a “hostile work environment and termination based on sexual orientation and sex.” The investigators found rampant workplace sexual harassment and female employees receiving favors while having sexual relations with their supervisors, including an unnamed executive. The report found Accuweather “did not take reasonable action to prevent and remedy harassing conduct.” Joel Myers, who was president of Accuweather during the period covered by the agreement, signed a settlement where AccuWeather agrees to pay out $290,000 to at least 39 women, institute in-person training for managers to identify harassment, and send harassment complaints to a 3rd party till at least 2018.

The real answer should be, if you can't be an professional in business, you should have to sell the business. Why do we allow bailouts of the worst people. You were executive leadership at a company that allowed fraud, etc. Guess who cannot be an exec anymore. Teachers, Lawyers, Doctors, Police, etc. all can be barred from their careers should their transgressions be too much. We should apply the same to big wig execs.

It's not that easy, if you examine any high net worth individual, you'll find something unbecoming.

That is because the only way to get ahead in capitalism is to do-evil,  not literally evil, but <bad stuff>.


Let's take the most basic example.  2 people selling sodas. The person with the sweeter soda usually wins. If you tried to make something healthy, it'd cost more, be less profitable, and you'll lose because you can't charge more for it.

They will race each other in sweetness, until it starts to taste disgusting,  then they will add caffeine.

Capitalism, is to sell into what we want, with little to no regard for long term consequences on society.

This process including sugary treats, destroy people's bodies, alters their brain chemistry, create scarcity where there did not used to be, they can't even sleep properly anymore because of the caffeine. It's great for the soda company, it's great for for-profit medical industry, everyone working at these companies think they have a great life. But on the outside, the whole world is its own victim.

Now, we have to charge people money for soda. HOW MUCH. We raise it to the maximum amount the person is willing to pay.  So the person who buys the soda, isn't only crippled physically by the sugar,  he's also crippled economically, because every purchase of the soda, is an UNFAIR, and negative wealth action from his end.  The corporation MUST make profit.  Profit can only be had, if the person who buys your product loses.  AND HE DOES.

That is "nearly" every product on the market, in our current system.

There is no WIN - WIN scenario in capitalism, it will dry up the rivers, cut down every single tree, kill every single wild animal, turn the entirety of earth into a lifeless desert.

The largest rivers these days no longer reach the sea. Since 1970, only 54 years ago,  73% of wild life population died. Wildlife Report

At capitalism's core is a Burning machine, and a Killing machine. It's hard to blame anyone, who do we blame, most of us are just BORN into it.  Blame is unimportant,  only introspection,  to recognize what's happening. If we choose to just keep doing it, well, so be it, we're only hughmahn..

There is NO PREPARING for this.

The only thing you can do is prevent it from happening. You have to eat veggies.

Civil engineering is expensive, and it is not economically feasible to build a system that can withstand disasters such as this. The cost of such a system and its maintenance would exceed the value of ANYTHING that could be built above it.

At this point, Scientists are confident 3-3.5C is locked in. Which means BUCKLE UP. It's going to get Way-Worse.

The Valencia region is actually one of the Best-Prepared Modern metro. Yet, here we are.

CHICAGO, Oct 30 (Reuters) - H5N1 bird flu was confirmed in a pig on a backyard farm in Oregon, the first detection of the virus in swine in the country, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said on Wednesday.
Pigs represent a particular concern for the spread of bird flu because they can become co-infected with bird and human viruses, which could swap genes to form a new, more dangerous virus that can more easily infect humans.

Spanish Flood victim interview.

“We have lost everything,” Xavi Pons told The Associated Press. He said the water level was above his head inside what had been the daycare run by his wife’s family for half a century, and he pointed to the knee-high mark where the mud reached.

“I have lived here all my life. This had never happened and nobody could have imagined it would,” Pons said. “All of Paiporta is like this, it is all in ruins.”

Climate Scientists said this exact thing was going to happen.

1.5 C officially dead.

"It's been dead for a while" but now Official.

Really what does that mean..

Whatever value/ wealth a person might "think" he's building, capitalism just flushed it down the toilet.



We got 1 thread the needle option left to remain under 2.5-3C,  EAT VEGGIES.

At least 2 billion people is guaranteed to die horrifically, cause massive migration/ border/ social instability.

We will likely see every country turn into Military Juntas.

You might think, well future economy can't be that bad, you'll just pilfer gasoline from the community and sell it on the black market, the reality is however, you'd be lucky just to get those bags of onions and some turnip..

Forget cars, we'll barely be able to maintain streets.

"US Oil Production Is Slowing, The Ramifications Will Be Significant

US oil production is finally showing signs of peaking.
Since early 2023, almost all production growth has resulted solely from productivity gains. The rig count, frac spreads, Drilled But Uncompleted Well count and Completed Well count are now all in decline. What’s more, the EIA’s reported production numbers were likely overstated in 2023. Expect shale to continue to grow marginally in the short-term, but average growth is likely to surprise to the downside from here. Productivity gains will eventually catch up to geology.
 
US shale production should peak sometime in 2025/2026 and plateau from there. Given the lack of capex spending, production growth outside of price spikes will be difficult to sustain. The ramifications will be significant.
The only source of non-OPEC+ supply growth in the past 15 years will disappear. The burden will then fall on Canada, Brazil and Guyana as well as OPEC+ to fill that gap, a difficult task over the medium-term.
And this needs to be emphasized: There is absolutely nothing the new Trump administration will be able to do to stop this. If they want to “drill baby drill” they are coming into power at exactly the wrong time. Politics does not trump (no pun intended) geology.

That's already a reality in India. Basically there are no healthy lungs in Delhi, from the day you're born, you're living in the smog equivalent to 0.5-2 packs of cigarettes a day, even if you don't smoke cigarettes.

There are no pink colored lungs in this city. Even young people ( <30) there have a greyish/black lung based on autopsies from accidental deaths.

Obviously air purifiers are out of the question, cost wise.

Well, there it is, the Carnist fallacy.

If you observe nature correctly, Carnivores, are a far weaker species vs. herbivores.


Lions look fierce, but ONLY to humans. Wild ruminant herbivores were hunted to extinction not by lions but by HUMANS (which are themselves herbivores).

BEFORE Humans,  On the big planes, large Herbivores routinely trample lion cubs to death deliberately, and lions/ have only ever existed in small numbers. This is why they have burrows which they HIDE, they are the weaker species.

Lions only eat the Sickly/Weak/Old members of roaming herbivores. They're basically garbage men,  To be a CARNIVORE is to Eat-Garbage.
