Re: Is a Madmax outcome coming before 2020? Thus do we need anonymity?
OTOH, government is the most egregious human trafficker, bribing our women (with inequality employment laws, welfare, subsidizing hypergamy, and divorce battering ram) to ignore men forsaking child rearing (birth rates have collapsed in Western nations where government is > 50% of the economy) and conscripting our men to kill each other in silly wars.

Armstrong's highly accurate cyclic computer models predict the peak of a global pandemic to occur in 2019.
Armstrong's highly accurate cyclic computer models predict the peak of a global pandemic to occur in 2019.
Most pandemics occur when a pathogen jumps a species barrier to a new host (humans) that are not adapted to it. Such a process should be random and follow a Poisson distribution. The expected time between pandemics should therefore follow an exponential distribution. I am skeptical of the validity of a cyclical model predicting a definitive pandemic date.
