Darkness is coming

Darkness is coming:

‍

Darkness is coming.

‍

The world won’t be rosy for a lot longer.

‍

It feels like we’re closer to that reality every day.

‍

The Davos elites have convinced the world through the mainstream media that the world economy is going great.

‍

Bullshit.

‍

They’re just waiting.

‍

Waiting for the next crisis to own even more of the world.

‍

The world’s been too good for too long.

‍

Relative peace.

‍

Globalization.

‍

Decreasing interest rates.

‍

Increasing asset prices.

‍

Then Covid broke everything.

‍

What did the governments do?

‍

They papered over all their problems with money.

‍

Created new money out of nothing.

‍

How?

‍

By issuing debt.

‍

One day, someone’s going to come calling for that free money.

‍

Nothing is free.

‍

There’s a cost to everything.

‍

Just because our boomer parents won’t have to deal with them doesn’t mean we won’t.

‍

We can’t avoid it.

‍

Our generation is going to suffer.

‍

What can we do?

‍

Not much.

‍

Human behaviour has been the same for millenia.

‍

History is undefeated.

‍

Things don’t repeat but they often rhyme.

‍

You’re gonna have to deal with shit.

‍

We all are.

‍

Focus on what you can control.

‍

Forget about what you can’t.

‍

Your phone will be your worst nightmare.

‍

Social media companies hack your attention to drive views, clicks and keep you staying on their app.

‍

They’ve made you think every problem in the world you need to care about.

‍

You don’t.

‍

Sadly, we aren’t at the worst part.

‍

Trillions of dollars of debt across the world have to be financed at rates significantly higher than when the debt was taken out.

‍

Either you print, or default.

‍

There is no other choice.

‍

Every time this has happened in history, we always print.

‍

And it’s what we’re doing now.

‍

It delays the inevitable.

‍

But that day will come.

‍

The revolutions will be here.

‍

Some in our backyard.

‍

It’ll seem unbelievable.

‍

History is filled with examples.

‍

Some people will say ‘But this time’s different?’

‍

I hope it is.

‍

I genuinely do.

‍

But human behaviour hasn’t changed since the dawn of time.

‍

And it ain’t changing now.

‍

Be careful.

‍

Get educated.

‍

Build strong relationships.

‍

And good luck.

‍

Darkness is coming.
