DISQUS

Indigo · 1 year ago

This is the post-New World Order, we could call it the New Reality. There's something about Bladerunner ambience that I like, maybe it's the bohemian ambience. It'll be fun to watch the colleges and universities adjust this fall. Will polo shirts and pleated khaki give place to baggy pants and oversized t-s?

"The New Reality"! I like that. But, I'm worried friend. America really doesn't get it yet! This race should not be this close.

Worry is an apporpriate reaction to the New Reality. As you say, Americans don't get it yet. They aren't going to because they're not ready to snap out of the trance. That's the point of the coming distopia. It's a Bladerunner world, misery is the leading characteristic, enterpreneurial advantage is the morality. It isn't going to be wonderful. This race is this close because the Stockholm Syndrome is in effect, the abused and ignorant take the side of their abusers. I don't like it either, but I don't see where profound change is possible.

Indigo: Well spoken. And, it's the only viable explanation. The polls should be overwhemingly blue. The people haven't suffered enough!

Asian markets were closed Monday so this is their first chance to have a reaction to the news, so basically same story as our markets here, i.e. -5% or so.
