My reaction on your post: Population Collapse: Alarm, Alert, or Overreaction? The Real Data

I post it here because I'm shadow banned, on YT, I can post, but they either immediately vanish, or I can see my own reactions but they are not visible to any other user. (I log out, try to ind what I wrote and my comments cant be found, either from my computer or an other location and account).

Sorry for the inconvenience, feeling a bit frustrated. My promise to support Gaza with 500 a month for Doctors without Borders leaves me struggling to pay my bills, you're running a great channel, but there are another 5-10 great channels, all like to be paid, when the amputations end I might choose to diversify a bit. Be Good..

People with huge footprints, spending as much electrical energy on heating their open to outside air pools as say 10 average families from India use in a year, flooding the world with overpopulation problems talk... Funny enough also the same people that think they are the next best thing to god, and in Musk's example (which will be fairly typical for such personality disorder impaired intellects) have such ego's the they promulgate claims of being the sole drivers of entire industry branches. (I forgot what Musk's personal claims were, I'm sure there are many) Conveniently ignoring that their work actually rests on generations upon generations of work and thought laying the foundation on which he built his temporary capitalist Pyramid.

Musk couldn't have built his rocket without De architectura (c. 30-20 BC) described Heron's Engine, Chinese Black Powder Rockets, Isaac Newton's Laws of Motion, Tommy Flowers the mailman who invented the first programmable computer, Wernher von Braun's Saturn V and thousands upon thousands of other people who put in countless labour years worth of effort to allow Musk the building blocks to put together his Rockets. The complete arrogance of these people is astounding, their readiness to expunge historical truths and logic to sustain their decrepit philosophies is absolutely disturbing and greatly prophetic of decline through the loss of sense of reality.

Sorry to hear about the shadow banning. So true what you say about the arrogant ignorance of so many in the US leadership class like Musk etc.

I'm a fairly new member and I can't think now how I found books and intelligent comment on the Internet before. I have done Historathon, a YouTube event that reads history all year, a quarter for Roman/Greek and early, then different periods up to the present which is OK, but this is a world better. I'm keeping up with current posts and on non-Burning Archive days, I'm gradually working forward from the first posts. My ebooks and "real book" tbr, culled from these posts is steadily growing. It's been an absolute joy, and your future plans are exciting. It was a good idea to sum up your aims etc with yhis post.

Great to find another Substacker from this side of the world, particularly Australia. Love the work you’re doing, Jeff. Some day, soon, I am going to arrange a Zoom call for the Asia Pacific Substack writers. Would you be interested to meet other writers?
