Participant[quote=investor]… I fear that when that happens, not if, the collapse will be an excuse to start a one world money supply, goverened by one large central bank.[/quote]
Among the many things to fear and worry about, I believe you truly do not need to fear that, investor.Nationalist/tribal tendencies are too strong. You think you’re going to get 6 billion people (or even just say their 200 leaders) to agree on *anything*, you’re crazy.
It seems to me the Euro will be lucky to hold onto its current adherents, let alone grow. And it’s a far, far cry from there to a Euro/Dollar union.
And then after that you think the Renmimbi will just come on board too? Try to picture those discussions…
I guess you postulated some kind of collapse as a precondition. Even if I believed in such a collapse (which I don’t) I don’t think the likely result would be *larger* entities, I think the likely result would be more localized entities and more anarchy, not a mindnumbing uniformity.
If you can’t even get Europe to agree with itself, how do you possibly make the leap to a single central bank?
ParticipantThere was a thread a couple years back where Raptorduck defined what “wealthy” meant in his world.
Boy was that interesting. I looked for a long time though last night and couldn’t find it.
As I recall he discriminated “upper middle class”, from the “working rich” and at the top of the heap was just plain old “rich”. 🙂
His numbers, as I recall, were *way* beyond what we’ve been talking in this thread. It’s all relative I guess.

ParticipantWow Cabal, that was some pretty honest sharing. Definitely food for thought. Who knows, you could be giving many of us a glimpse of our future.
I have a couple of simple ideas; maybe they’ll be helpful.
* I think you’re right about exercise. Endorphins and all that. This would also vastly help any sleep issues you may be having (in my experience). Sure, in the big picture what is the overall “value” to the world of you doing exercise? Admittedly not large, but I do think it will help you feel better, maybe think more clearly about things, while going through your days and plotting more meaningful activities.
* Volunteer work? Teaching (of any form)?
* Something intellectually challenging where you can see your progression. Pilot’s License?

Participant[quote=jpinpb]I had seen a situation that was interesting.
Three people at a restaurant waiting for a table outside. The average wait was like 20/30 minutes. A couple sitting at a table for four were waiting for their check. Three people next on the list were anxious to be seated. The couple paid their check and continued to sit at the table and chat. Something like 10 minutes go by and another couple walk by the restaurant and see the couple sitting down. They all know each other. The couple that paid their check invites the couple passing by to sit down at their table. Then a few minutes later, the couple that paid their bill then leave and the couple that had been walking by are still sitting at the table and place their food order.
The three people waiting for the table are pissed.[/quote]
That one is way worse than the original scenario, imo.Participant[quote=jpinpb]I had seen a situation that was interesting.
