( ALL of this is predicated on this being The Great Filter, in-which humankind divides into 2 underlying factions, & goes into multi-stage deathmatch mode, until this is all finished.

The 2 underlying factions are the Kahneman1-mind, imprint->reaction mind, ideology/prejudice/“religion” does all our thinking for us, … faction,

vs

the Kahneman2-mind, considered-reasoning mind, Empiricism, objectivity, Humanist-Rationalism people, who do not comprise more than 1/3 of humankind, at absolute most.

Daniel Kahneman’s “Thinking Fast & Slow” the most-fundamental book in understanding what humankind’s actually doing, right now, globally.

Please read it, soon.

Other books which identify dimensions of the real-underlying-unconscious-obstacle-set that humankind may be extinguished by, include:

researchers Logan, King, & Fischer-Wright’s “Tribal Leadership”, on the 5 Culture Levels ( not “stages”: stages are irreversible, like caterpillar->moth, these tend to revert to CultureLevel2, so therefore they can’t be true-irreversible-stages, see? )

They never realized it, but the 3 categories of “game” anchor the set-of-5-culture-levels:

  • Positive-Sum game / Win-Win Alliance / CultureLevel5: LIVING IS SELF-INHERENTLY AWESOME!!
  • CultureLevel4: WE are Awesome, THEY are not.
  • Zero-Sum game / competitive-narcissism / CultureLevel3: if THEY have any validity, then that was taken from me!
  • CultureLevel2: MY life sucks ( victim of narcissism’s rule )
  • Negative-Sum game / nihilism / CultureLevel1: mass-shooters, murdercide-bombings, nihilist-oligarchy’s intent to rule the world while destroying its future & life-itself.

The book “Immunity to Change” by researchers Kegan & Lahey is also important: it is on the protecting-dysfunction mechanism in our unconscious-mind ( hence the title ), & how to get one’s unconscious-mind to allow growing-up to happen!

There is another book which is fundamental to understanding world-dysfunction: Schneider’s “Lead Right for Your Company’s TYPE”.

A condensed version of it:

Make a 2x2 Matrix.

Top-half is Potential

( he puts pie-in-the-sky potential on the bottom, for some incomprehensible reason, & the solid/concrete/actual on the top?? I’m doing it properly, here )

Left-side is People

Right-side is Tasks

Bottom-half is Concrete-Actuality.

Now we have the proper division of kinds-of-work!

Kindergarten, learning, infirmaries, etc, all go in the top-left quadrant, because that’s where Human Potential lives!

Top-right? Science, discovery, excellence-driven operations, etc…

Bottom-left? Actual-Consensus.

Bottom-right? Manufacturing.

Sudden industrial-accident?

Simultaneously in top-right ( discover what’s going on, & how do we stop it from getting worse, now! ) & top-left ( you’re injured, but we’re going to keep you as alive & as healthy as we can, help us in figuring-out how we, together, can make this work well, please… ) quadrants, but cleanup is mostly bottom-right quadrant, obviously…

Humankind’s not getting this right, & that is wasting more of humankind’s LivingPotential & LivingOpportunity than anything else, from what I can see.

Kids out of high-school should be able to immediately identify which quadrant a given work is in, need to be able to identify which quadrant they want to be living-in ( top-right, for me, an autistic systems-creature ), & ought be able to switch-gears from 1 quadrant to another, quickly & efficiently, if the context suddenly changes.

Now that you understand the context of the predictions, the oceans-of-wasted-education missing the key points … now my predictions ( the ones that I can remember, as I’ve memory-problems due to brain-injuries ) about the derailing of humankind, as it will happen, are these:

  • Trump will have about 3 personality-punctuations, the 1st will be soon, & will convert him entirely to PSYCHOPATHY.

( the 1st will happen in the next 1/2y, so late-March 2025 to … late-September )

  • The economy is going to become functionally GONE, soon: it will take about 3y from the last-peak until it truly hits bottom, so we won’t have an economy to work-in, while trying to prepare for The North American War

( the 2nd Great Depression, obviously )

  • Trump will stop ALL trade with Canada, before he declares war against Canada, to try to break us through economic enforcement

( declaration-of-war will happen in about 3y )

  • IF the US owns Greenland, THEN they can control all Atlantic trade-access to Canada

( which is bad - having Alaska to pinch-off BC’s trade-routes already is set, of course )

  • Trump’s war against all the non-Republican US will partially-gut their war against Canada

( by gutting the US of A, itself: I fully expect that by 2032, there will be about 200,000,000 or 300,000,000 fewer people in North America )

  • Trump’s 3rd personality-punctuation will coincide with the US beginning TOTAL WAR against Canada

( should be early 2028 -ish, to prevent “election” from having to happen in the US of A )

  • the continuous-since-the-FLOOD ( when the entire Laurentide Ice-Sheet melted into the Atlantic & Arctic oceans, just under 12 millenia ago ) human-sacrifice practice in the Americas is going to actually become a part of the US’s Republican culture as a real worshipping-of-Trump ( I expect people to be doing it out of fear-for-their-own-lives )

( not until they declare war on Canada? a little sooner? don’t know … yes, I find it’s going to get THAT bad, between now & 2031-ish, when the Putin & Trump alliance should collapse )

  • WHILE Trump’s US is waging total war against Canada, Russia will be ( backed by China & ) waging war against Europe

( With the US backing Russia, & warring against Canada, Europe’s going to … be hamburger? it’ll be BAD, that I know. )

  • WHILE the West is tied-up with those 2 local-wars, China is going to be rampaging Asia

( Modi’s assuming that Russia will protect India against China, with Russia now being an economic-vassal-state of China, was national-suicide. His Hindutva-India also is: ideology disallows considered-reasoning’s function, & siding with ideology is anti-strategic, in these end-times / Great Filter times )

  • The apparently-unconscious strategy of Hamas, to use the whole Palestinian people as bait for Netanyahu, so that once Netanyahu’s “Israel” commits completely to absolute ( dark tetrad, you’ll notice https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_triad#Dark_tetrad ) sadism/nihilism/machiavellianism/narcissism/etc, then the entire Muslim world will eventually be forced into becoming martyrdom-oriented-enough that Israel’s “deterrent” wouldn’t be able to “deter” ANYthing, … because if they no-longer care if you kill them, THEN you have to succeed in mowing-them-all-down, & ANY who get-through, take you out… So, Israel will be annihilated about (7/2)y before the US of A dies.

( the US’s rulers simply won’t care, by then: psychopathy will have progressed in ruling the country much more completely, & only annihilating the world’s humanness at any cost will remain their core focus, by then )

( it was a guy explaining that in kenjutsu, all your counters/blocks are assuming that the opponent cares to avoid being cut … but … IF your opponent couldn’t care less about surviving the fight, they only care about cutting you down … THEN all your training practices were mis-training you against that opponent!

Suddenly, after the October when Hamas struck, I realized that that applies to countries, too! )

  • MBS’s going to be claiming ALL of the Middle-East & Africa as his personal territory, so that by whenever in 2031 that the Russia+US alliance implodes, there will be 2 remaining empires in the world ( CCP’s empire & MBS’s empire ), & the now-butchered-up remnant of TrueNATO/VraiOTAN standing, tattered, in their way…

( & yes, 2031 gets its place in this list )

  • 2031, sometime, the Russia+US alliance against the West implodes, the remnant of TrueNATO tries to catch a breath, AND… the Chinese Empire launches EVERYTHING it’s got, against the remnant of the West ( they’d be incompetent to not do that, obviously )

This begins the 4-decades ( minimum ) deathmatch war, between Confucian Marxist Leninist Kapha-metabolism empire vs TrueNATO’s relying-on-LivingSpirit ( by then, XOR already-gone ) alliance.

Cheery list, isn’t it?

The Great Filter: in-which humankind will force change its unconscious-mind’s nature XOR Universe will simply edit-out this-world’s humankind, leaving the galaxy “cleaned” of us.

Really-grow-up or extermination.

Global mitosis, of humankind, dividing into 2 incompatible natures, & the 3 variants of the no-LivingSpirit side taking turns against TrueNATO…

( oh, it’ll also be warmer, by then, & the melting of Greenland will have trashed the North Atlantic’s coast-cities, ports, etc, aiding the CCP-empire in their war against the remant of TrueNATO )

I don’t expect ANYbody to consider this list to be valid in any way, whatsoever …

… until Trump has his 1st personality-punctuation, exactly as predicted, & then … suddenly the rest of the list will look a wee bit more … possible.
