The only constant is the Second Law of Thermodynamics which informs us that entropy is trending to maximum. The Knowledge Age is all about increasing entropy. You had better make sure you understand this and stop clinging to incorrect bullshit.

You keep repeating this nonsensical statement over and over.

Arguing with a zealot is a waste of my time. Enjoy.

You don't even seem to understand the science and math of what you are writing.

You do not because you keep pretending it's impossible for current civilization to enter another dark age. "Increasing entropy" is not a roadblock to stop a dark age, it's the exact opposite. How do you get this logic completely backwards? The more increasing complexity in a system, the harder it falls. The more inputs required to make a system function, the more of an exponentially, unsustainable resource curve you have being required to make it work (both in terms of specialized humans and physical commodities/overall energy input).

So technology is doomed by design to experience intense crash cycles and wipe out many previous gains unless you live in an entirely open ecosystem, which we don't. You could maybe try to claim the solar energy radiated from the sun is a bypass to this fact, but you would still need resources to build panels all over the place and continuously more resources to service and replace them since humans don't natively absorb sunlight and turn it into fuel to do work. Not to mention metric tons of batteries everywhere.

Martin ~~Shekelstein's~~Armstrong's latest gold price talk where he speaks a few paragraphs while saying absolutely nothing:

https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/markets-by-sector/precious-metals/gold/gold-bullion-v-coins/

...

So first he's saying gold is going to crash way below $1000, now he's typing some obscure reference that the 2015 closing was the low...

He is not giving you the details, because you are not a paying subscriber.

So first Armstrong has a magical computer that hands him information about a supposedly deterministic universe which would allow anyone with access to this data to instantly become the richest person on earth, but instead of becoming rich, he just needs US to give him OUR money? You don't see anything wrong with this picture?

P.S. I don't feel good about sharing his paid subscriber info in public and hope Armstrong will not get angry at me. I do it this one time only to teach you skeptics a lesson. Now watch what happens.

The fact that Armstrong has the exact same prediction and timeline for everything no matter which candidate won the 2016 election should show you it's complete bullshit. Yes, we all know the system is going to crash, but it would likely play out in vastly different ways and timelines under the banker preferred candidate and non-banker preferred candidate.
