The WHEN of the coming collapse

Vox posted a link to a simplicious post that is really excellent at explaining the coming crash and why and the variables. And his general view is very much in line with my own (remember I assumed within 5 years but possibly up to 10. Which I only realise now also brings us to 2033).

However, I have been somewhat fascinated by Vox predicting 2033 since I first heard about it several years ago, nearly a decade ago I think, now.

There are two routes as to why I am fascinated by it. One is the more mundane one, and one s a somewhat numinous one.

The mundane one is that Vox comes to these conclusions on the basis of (I think) quite detailed analyses of various things. Don’t ask me what things, because he’s doing things economists do, and I assume it entails going deep under his castle’s dungeons, drawing entrails from his enemies, boiling the tears of the givers of science fiction awards, and other dark and disgusting things only economists can stomach doing. My own approach to these things is to get a hunch and then synergistically, come out with a WAG (Wild-Assed-Guess).

Back in 1993-4, I was sure that the economy would collapse by the year 2000 at the latest based on my having touched with a tiny toe the waters that those creatures known as “traders” (in shares and stocks and options and baby parts, and cocaine) do within banks and other towers of misery.

Then 2000 came and went and I thought a bit like I did when I was 4 years old and I had asked about how money works and the grown ups tried to explain it to me and I figured none of it made any sense. But I assumed I was too small and this stuff was too complicated for me to grasp, so I must be wrong about it being completely insane system that makes no sense.

Of course, 4 year old me was right. It’s the rest of the world that is absolutely, completely, totally, fucking insane and illogical.

So the same thing happened and it was 2008 before it all crashed, and then I realised my error. I was unaware of Professor Cipolla’s First Law.

It had taken so long for the Ponzi scheme to crash because so many greedy, unprincipled, stupid and really stupid people ALL continued to buy into it and then double down. They are all playing 3 card monty with no third card and someone is stealing the bets, but they all keep at it because sometimes some of the stolen cash lands near them and they “win”.

So 2008 came. And they covered it up by robbing blind half the planet. And then 2014 came and they patched it up again, and started the Ukraine stuff. Then 2019 came and they invented Covid and proper Ukraine war. Now Covid is done, draconian laws telling nationals to shut up about the rapefugees stabbing their children or else go to jail are being put in place and chemtrails are going overboard to try and fry all our brains with the new 5G antennae, but it’s still not enough. The USA has literally increased its debt by another trillion, or is it two, hell, I forget.

So now there is the Gaza genocide, and all the media trying to make us feel sorry for the guys bombing civilians, hospitals and killing literally thousands of children. And that is definitely being dragged out, because the next step is to send all the Palestinians to Europe and the USA.

But… unless hot war with Russia and China and/or Iran and Syria kicks off soon, and unless Russia and China are also part of some really nefarious Satanic game of chess, the West is going to get that economic collapse soon.

And as I mentioned, by “soon” I expect in the next five years, but maybe a little “softer” for North America and Europe than it has historically been for 3rd world countries, or those that the West deemed needed to become 3rd world countries. So my estimate is about 2030 at the most but I am well aware I tend to be a pessimist, so 2033 certainly looks like a good date.

Now for the numinous part. Back in 1994-5 when I was researching and writing The Face on Mars, I read a book called the Great Pyramid Decoded, Peter Lemesurier, which was quite fascinating. And in there, he came up with this idea that the great Pyramid could also be used to predict a sort of general timeline of the future. It was not an idea I valued very much, because the premises he used to get there were in my view, rather shaky, although the man did a lot of valid and interesting work aside from that. And in any case he was not some crazy freak, but a guy with an interesting take on some odd things, and people like that can sometimes figure things out the rest of us miss (I know because I am one such guy in my own way).

Anyway, from memory, Lemesurier put it that a generic world collapse was going to happen in 2033. And that by around 2050 it was either finished or the real end times came, I forget which, and the book is either lost to one of my moved or one of my relatives, so I can’t check. But anyway, after the crash a time of good and perfection would come. I can’t recall if the 2050 part is when the bad stuff ends or the really bad stuff begins, before we then have a new golden age. You can see how the End Times narrative obviously keeps me awake at night. But anyway, though I didn’t think much of his methodology, I remembered this 2033 date as a “crash” date, and I find it fascinating that Vox came to it too. It’s quite specific, and Lemesurier had used some Biblical related “timeline” to come to his conclusions, and I may be wrong, but I think Vox once mentioned he had considered certain things from the Bible to… I forget… conclude something about economics, or the timing of something.

So I wonder about it. And now you know, and probably wonder about it too.
