    I hope I don’t tube this thread but Putin enabling was done by Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden with that starting to PARTIALLY turn when Putin over estimated his ease of taking Ukraine.

    To a degree the old saying" keep your friends close an your enemies closer"   applies.

    Am I not wrong for suggesting that as nifty as it is, modern civilization is a cancerous aberration of earth? I think humans are predominantly programmed for a simple hunter gatherer lifestyle. And we are not really indicated for expansion to living in all kinds of climates either. We should really only be present where other great apes are. 

    It is my contention that since we are currently manifesting a mass extinction, the links that are being removed from the global ecosystems are eventually going to catch up to the food chain causing a high magnitude sequence of famines. After that, human population will be reduced to about 1/10 of what it is today. 

    If you stretch this forecast out further, there could be a chance that humans will mostly only remain in tropical climates where food is readily available. Weather and geologic movement will reclaim the environment in other climates and our former presence in those areas will become less obvious with time.

    Civilization and technology has advanced far faster than human evolution has. And you want to know why this is a problem? It messes with peoples mental health. There is a link between urban enviornments and schizophrenia. People don't like going to work every day in a lot of jobs that are not pleasantly engaging, because we were not designed for it, so it lacks in stimulating reward centers of the brain and is downright grueling. 

    Intelligence of humans alongwith anatomical makeup allowed people to manage to develop advanced technology. But we were not genetically designed for that to happen with purpose. As a matter of fact it took hundreds of thousands of years before the required sequence of actions for the swift accumulation of learning required to get advanced technology fell into place. 

    We were not intentionally cut out by nature to develop modern technological society. We just did because we could. Eventually.

    The above theory I delivered applies if you rule out things like God or alien civilizations having a direct hand in human civilization and technology progressing. And I think that my theory is a likely one because when you look at the big picture, there is still a lot of randomness and loose ends with modern civilization so it is probably not some heavenly utopia tailor-made for people to enjay.

    Yeah looks like the real edge of the cold is around PSM now. Seeing some meso stations ripping 15 knots sustained around Kittery. We may get to 31-32 in the next hour or two here but we probably aren’t getting the real flash freeze type stuff until we get that secondary push that’s near PSM now. Figure it will try and accelerate, but even 20+ knots will take 2.5-3 hours or so. 

    Roads sleet covered. Drive down sucked
