The Doomsday Thread: Are you preparing?

[RPR]

I'll start preparing when a psycho like Ron Paul takes office. That guy's economics are crazy enough to plunge us all into the next dark ages. I'd probably even consider hording a bunch of stuff if the guy ever got more than 6 or 7% at the polls, just as an insurance policy.

What specifically is wrong with Ron Paul's economics? This should be good.

Pentagon Developing Autonomous Humanoid Robots To “Perform Evacuation Operations”

Aug 16, 2012

The Department of Defense has awarded a lucrative contract to an engineering and robotics design company to develop and build humanoid robots that can act intelligently without supervision.

Boston Dynamics Inc. has been contracted by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the agency responsible for the development of new technologies for use by the military, in a deal worth $10.9 million.

The DoD announced Tuesday that “The robotic platforms will be humanoid, consisting of two legs, a torso, two arms with hands, a sensor head and on board computing.”

DARPA’s website says that the robots will help “conduct humanitarian, disaster relief and related operations.”

“The plan identifies requirements to extend aid to victims of natural or man-made disasters and conduct evacuation operations.” reads the brief, first released in April as part of DARPA’s ‘Robotics Challenge’.

The robots will operate with “supervised autonomy”, according to DARPA, and will be able to act intelligently by themselves, making their own decisions if and when direct supervision is not possible.

The Pentagon also envisions that the robots will be able to use basic and diverse “tools”.

“The primary technical goal of the DRC is to develop ground robots capable of executing complex tasks in dangerous, degraded, human-engineered environments. Competitors in the DRC are expected to focus on robots that can use standard tools and equipment commonly available in human environments, ranging from hand tools to vehicles, with an emphasis on adaptability to tools with diverse specifications.” reads the original brief.

The robots are set to be completed by Aug. 9, 2014, according to the contract.

Wow, didn't they watch "I, Robot"?

I'm not getting into this specialty with a bunch of economic dolts who spray paint "Go Ronny" signs to plaster the side of the interstate with. If there are some actual, honest to goodness economists worth talking to then we'll start the class for you. Most people don't have the intellectual honesty or mental fortitude to understand central banking and monetary matters enough to have an opinion on the subject, & I'm not wasting my breath just to have it fall on deaf ears incapable of comprehending.

In the meantime, I'll lobby to institutionalize & reeducate all Ron Paul supporters in order to preserve the nation from catastrophe & protect you from yourselves.

(not speaking at you directly, but from experience with these discussions )

I don't doubt many Ron Paul supporters don't know monetary policy and central banking enough to disarm the standard Keynesian/Monetarist arguments. I do though, so, once again, please tell me what specifically is wrong with Ron Paul's economics?

 

[JDeezy]

Well, they built the camps for something. Maybe they won't put you in there. As long as you do as they tell you.

Alex Jones, is that you?

This is so absurd that it's almost hilarious.

Like I said, I'm not having a convo with an incompetent. If you want my attention then you're going to have to prove worthy of it. Dig up your best old postings on the matter & I'll give them a professor's once over. If I see anything of merit then I'll welcome what you think you know with open arms.

For now, I'll ignore the Ron Paul/gold worship blather like the rest of the nation rightly does.

So you have nothing, like I figured. You made the claim that something was wrong with "Ron Paul's economics".

 

[RPR]

Let's get this straight: You're a self proclaimed debunker of the entirety of modern economics (a.k.a. non-Paul stoneagery), yet you outright refuse to provide a single paragraph that displays this grand insight that you have & the entire profession is mysteriously unaware of?

Sounds like someone is trying to pester to me.

 

[JDeezy]

RPR is a legendary troll of heroic skill.

Anyway. I'll believe all this conspiracy bullshit when I see it.

The robots are sensationalist, the "camps" are completely erroneous, the coffins are ludicrous, the bullet purchases are unremarkable. And yet, no matter what happens Alex Jones is profiting.

I didn't "proclaim" anything. You did. Yet you can't provide a single paragraph to back your claim.

I see you're still butthurt that we couldn't see eye to eye in the aliens thread. I like you anyway.

Hey, did I tell you about the time Alex Jones & I sneaked into the Bohemian Grove that contained 2600 of the world's most important, well guarded men & women? Yeah, we dressed up as pizza men and fooled those suckers. There had to be secret service agents from at least 18 countries as well as hundreds of personal body guards & hired help, as you'd expect for a gathering of senators, ex-presidents, the Rockafellers... Anyway, we suited up and waltzed right on through them all! And then we filmed their center stage play.... uhh, I mean their devil worshiping. Can you believe they burn someone in effigy in this old time play just like they did in old time plays? Oh the horror! It was so horrible that I had to make a sensationalistic movie out of it, never revealing the sources I claim to have (sounds like someone else we know unwilling to reveal anything), & selling it to the chicken little crowd for millions!

The only thing that I am incapable of comprehending is your sentence structure. Surely someone with your mental fortitude on the subject of central banking and monetary matters should be able to string together a couple coherent sentences. I will try my best and employ a tutor to bring myself to your level of wisdom. Professor, I am petitioning you to start the class and share your vast knowledge for us lowly dolts.

If you are a professional then I fully welcome your critique. I'm no sooner discussing monetary policy with a roadside vagrant holding please help & Ron Paul signs than I am asking him for help writing a document, that's all. Do you like to teach introduction to writing to a group of schizophrenics who think they know more than you about your own craft? When those schizo's are obviously paranoid & ranting endlessly about the end of the world?
