I love all of your content, it's a bargain and highly interesting. Glad I subscribed.
It's not your fault if contributors use annoying grammar, but I'm seeing this everywhere now XYZ "is very, very unique." Unique is a superlative and can't logically manage a modifier like very, highly, quite or super. Miss Button, my 12th grade English teacher, if she were still alive, would be appalled by such mistakes even in national newspapers.
Bless Miss Button. I had an 10th grade English teacher, Miss Little, who was just the same. In a way, I’m glad she passed on before the proliferation of “like” ripped through our spoken language.
So enjoyed the conference. Very frustrating though not to be able to go back or fast forward. Maybe because I watched on my iPad….when will the transcript be available?
G’day Judy! Thanks for your kind words. Please see the entire audio-video recording (which you can fast-forward and rewind), plus the complete transcript (edited for clarity and Aussie accents) here:
In My opinion, one can not always grow. That is economically. There are natural" Highs and lows . This is a fact of monetary life. Even thou governments think they can control the economy.
True, however, when I compare the devastating socialism that is the governance of Canada to that of Argentina and how that impacts its economy, well.....
If Jean Chrétien is correct in his “fear” of Trump, Canadians, shaking in their mukluks, will have to step it up. Why Trump would want socialized everything, monitored and suppressed speech, is beyond me. Perhaps Pierre Poilievre can help bring some Liberty to the Northern Kingdom. 😎
Somehow reading Joel today got the microscopic classics library of my mind fired up. I'll share it here and welcome criticism and even friendly discussion.
People can return to
~ gardens,
~ the residential cow,
~ a pig or 2,
~ chickens,
~ a cleaner, "greener", more nutritious diet
~ a healthier, quieter more thoughtful lifestyle,
~ Friends you can touch.
It seems that our lifestyle today is a Narcissistic illusion. Worldwide, people are entranced by the glittering selfish stuff and ease we think we see in the Industrial Revolution. Millions, billions are now wasting away towards death with cravings we cannot satisfy, and we are eating our young with the debts we cannot pay so we leave behind.
The great health improvements of the 20th century world were due to refrigeration and sanitation. Refrigeration and sanitation. Did those require the massive industrialization that we have been seduced into?
Our oversized, overstuffed homes, yards, and toys require 2 (or more) incomes and lifetimes of debt. Is this stuff making us healthier, our families stronger, homes more peaceful, communities tighter?
Increasing billions daily consume
# "I don't have time" coffee and donuts,
# fast food
# boxed, bagged, and bottled sugary, salty, chemically overloaded "snack" foods - and
# even more harmful substances.
Then there are idle, motionless electronic enter-tainments –
X movies, X video games, X selfies, X "likes"
- enter and retain control of our minds, like teeth and claws.
The megalithic pharmaco-surgical industry which these habits of idle self-worship have spawned, is likewise a pool of illusion. It distracts and keeps us from doing the things common sense, Diety, and millennia of experience urge are necessary for health and strength. In industrialized areas of the world people die primarily from cancer, heart disease, and diabetes; the mirrored pool swallows wasted people as it did a wasted Greek demi-god.
The crucial question, I think, is this:
Do these narcissistic industrial revolutionary excesses make life better than the more active, self-reliant, and truly social lifestyle(s) that our grandparents and their grandparents employed?
If their life was better, then what is to be done?
Atlas shrugged, and walked away, soon to be joined by the few intelligent, like-minded, self-reliant producers who chose greater self-reliance, simpler cooperation, greater health, and peaceful happiness. History records many peoples who have actually done this in the past. Many are quietly turning away from the seductive, deadly pool today – to join the few.
I have been watching all this from early on. I even have an electronic subscription to La Nacion, which is helping my Spanish a lot. Made some small investments in Spring which have paid well - two companies mentioned in the discussion. I am planning more and have a short list of key events to see/understand before serious commitment. In my mind the big one is the mid-term election outcome in October. That will go a long way to answering the question.

As a Canadian, that 2.0 economic growth projection is depressing to put it mildly.
In My opinion, one can not always grow. That is economically. There are natural" Highs and lows . This is a fact of monetary life. Even thou governments think they can control the economy.
True, however, when I compare the devastating socialism that is the governance of Canada to that of Argentina and how that impacts its economy, well.....
Agree . Our socialist know nothing about economics.
If Jean Chrétien is correct in his “fear” of Trump, Canadians, shaking in their mukluks, will have to step it up. Why Trump would want socialized everything, monitored and suppressed speech, is beyond me. Perhaps Pierre Poilievre can help bring some Liberty to the Northern Kingdom. 😎

Ok Joel...somebody has to ask the question!
What if Milei dies today!!
I’d like to think the movement he has spearheaded would carry on… but I sure hope we aren’t forced to find out!
