Citizen’s Reset, by TL Davis

Global collapse won’t be all bad if it wipes out a bunch of government. From TL Davis at tldavis.com:

There’s no point in debunking all of the cluelessly ridiculous ideas like wind and solar power to run the nation, electric cars and Artificial Intelligence (AI). None of those things are going to work precisely because they rely on a massively expanding electric grid, batteries from nothing and chips for free. To point out why I am not going to go into it, we can’t make the chips needed for AI, can’t power it, can’t even power the cooling units needed to keep the massive servers functioning. It’s so mind-blowingly demanding that the big AI creators don’t even ask that question, not even to themselves, because that’s how we handle questions in the 21st Century, we pretend they don’t exist to maintain the narrative. The idea that over a billion people a second can query a computer and ask, “which is a better color for me, red or brown?” and invoke the power it takes for these AI sources to search all possible combinations and arrive at a logical and valid answer to that stupid question tells you that it can’t be done. That’s not saying that they won’t be able to come up with some incredible demo-bots, but little else. It’s just energy economics and it might be one of the reasons they want to trap you in your walkable 15 minute city, because AI will need all of the energy you now use to work, to generate answers to ludicrous questions. I mean if it actually works the way they depict. The first question I would ask is, “how many terawatts of power will it take to make a fully functional AI platform for the masses?” I don’t mean the kind of startlingly lifelike robots who regurgitate liberal responses, some green energy pie-in-the-sky, but actually scour the known information and extrapolate reasonably accurate hypotheses. Keep in mind we only use about 4,272 terawatt hours of electricity in the U.S. right now, of which maybe 15% of that is wind and solar, and that is just capacity, not production, production is closer to 5%. One of the largest Chinese data centers uses roughly 400MW of energy, 40% of that going to cool the servers. Add in line-drop from the energy expended to get the electricity to the data center and it adds up quick. Also, that’s just the 181 zettabytes of data already being stored.

Onto the real subject at hand: war. We’re being forced into it one way or the other, foreign or domestic. What is the first target of war? Power. What do we all need in order to function in our current lives? Power. If Pepe Escobar is right and Israel intended to drop a nuke over Iran from an F-35 before the Russians shot it down, as the video suggests, and it’s his credibility on the line, what was the purpose? It wasn’t to nuke Iran, but to blind it, EMP. The veracity of Pepe Escobar to the side, this is the state of modern warfare, like it or not. Dependence on electric power for everything from one’s alarm clock to preventing the sewer from backing up into one’s home, relies on it. Add electric vehicles and modern electronic ignitions and gadgetry and one would be better off with a 1975 pickup to haul a camper around from one drain to another. As Jack Lawson will tell you in the Civil Defense Manual, sanitation is the key to modern survival. Most deaths will be caused by lack of clean drinking water and diseases produced from lack of hygiene. Upper atmosphere nukes create EMPs that can wipe out entire continents of electronics in a single blast without killing people directly. That is a weapon for the ages, like the neutron bomb on steroids.
