Thanks for your honesty and humanity as always Michael. Its really cool you examining the doomer mentality a little closer.

Thanks also for your lists of authors you rate.

Here are my thoughts on it, in case those matter at all!):

I had hopes for Indi becoming somebody who would make a difference, before he got taken in by the masked doomer bank-oriented snake-oil salesman that is "B", ("the honest sorceror"), and then by Michael Barnard, who uses very flawed "Renewable Energy" terminology to try to argue impossibility, as if paid to do so by the fossil fuels industry.

I am barred from the stories of both the latter authors, and can't be arsed creating alt-profiles to try to get into their bubbles to burst them. I don't believe in using the same tactics as snake oil salesmen anyhow. By spending the time to do things like that, I would be indulging in Bullshit Business, the very thing we know has to stop.

Unfortunately, Indi appears to have decided to more or less exit Medium, to start his own doomer bubble, instead of staying to "Fight" in here, in arguably the favored heartlands of the virtue-signaling elites.

Which is a shame, because he is a very talented writer imho, I maybe made the mistake of telling him so on more than one occasion, as well as berating him on others.

Obviously I don't agree with Indi's view of Ai, and would argue it out with him if he was still available to argue with in Medium.

A few other authors have decided to ban me from their stories, again isolating themselves from truth, tbh I am past caring about that, it's up to them, to me they are the buffalo in the pen that you mentioned.

I share your admiration of Allison Wiltz, she's everything you say, but I would say she is stuck at the level of considering only the injustices against her own chosen brackets of people, rather than the systemic injustices against all people, but I get the reasons why, and besides, she's a lawyer, she can't really rise to criticising the system of her own trade.

But we have to, all humans, rise above the limitations of our own trades and tribes, since its the latter that's used by the inhuman system to enslave us, imho.

Some other authors I would recommend are Caitlin Johnston, Ray Katz, Ricky Lanuse, and last but not least, David Price.
