Reply to How good the US will be for living in future for those who will be earning decent?? by [deleted]
I figure US decline will go slowly, then all at once, and it’s virtually impossible to know how long the slow phase will last; it could easily last through my lifetime.

You know all those Paleolithic naked female “fertility” figurines…
So a long time ago I was on a fly-in fishing trip to northern Ontario. One day we went exploring up one of the streams and found a hunting/trapping cabin. It was unoccupied since they’re only used in the fall and winter. Poked our head in and the only interior decorations were pages from porn magazines racked up on the walls.

Reply to How a camel climbs a sand dune by westondeboer
In Dune I read that one side of a dune is soft, the other much firmer. This seems consistent with that.
