Thread: Fantasy Existence or Alternative Reality...??

Hypothetically, if the accepted ideals of credit and loans [from very false wealth] were to cease tomorrow - how might we fare?
Individuals, corporations, governments, etc.


It's obvious that nearly all of our hardships and troubles develop from the removal of reality and truth from our wretched being.

The reality is that we are much more comfortable and quite accepted to exist a dream -


Everything you know is wrong.

Could you or your kin survive comfortably without the make-believe world?

Put the reefer down Jeff

Many (most?) governments would fare very badly (UK, US, Thailand to name just a few). Quite a few corporations would also struggle. (As an example, PTT has just sold 10 billion baht's worth of bonds, it sold a billion US dollars worth 2 years ago, it has sold others. Other companies do the same). Glasgow Rangers football club would be bankrupt (it is in debt, it has borrowed money and it needs more money so will likely borrow more).

As for individuals, the mortgage would seem to be the biggest borrowing for many in the west. Not being able to borrow money would devastate the housing market (as we have seen a glimpse of in the last 10 years).

Yet...it all seems to be an accepted way of life and doing business everywhere.
Nothing = Nothing.

There isn't any such wealth reflected by what we've made it up to be.

The cycle of illusion continues. Even amidst so-called intelligent folk.
Their realities have been made, yet they'll defend or justify for the catatonic state.

Consider the source Jeffrey.

I do. The fanciful Western civilisations.

The "Doomsday Preppers" around the world seem to have it all sussed.

Every item that they've purchased to prep and prepare was put on a card...

You're all insane, you must be to exist (and somewhat flourish) in this fuked up world of yours... I blame the overdevelopment of the prefontal cortex leading to the self-reflective and de-homeostatic SELF.

If everything fell apart tomorrow, I wouldn't give a shit. As long as I had half a tank of petrol, my wife and I go down the coast and live on a friend's farm, growing avocados and vegetables.

What's wrong with staying in Murarrie?

Credit cards - they can stuff them up their arses and fuck off whilst they're doing it.

Items may have been put on card, but does not necessarily mean that they were not paid in full, and without incurring any debt or interest.

Many items can still be purchased in Cash or Check interesting enough.

End of days. War, pestilence, death, destruction and total collapse of civilization as we know it.

So what's the downside?

Those who can survive - the real world.

Those who won't - the civilised world.

Just another illusion.
My guess is that most people in the "civilised" world would be offed in the 1st 6 months.

Could be onto something here Betty. 'nature will find a way' as Jeff Goldblum says in Jurassic Park. Maybe that is why overly self-pre-occupied cerebral types are more likely to off themselves from depression and the major breeders of modern western society are the cerebrally challenged welfare dole-monkeys.

That might be why selfies were invented.
