| 0:00.0 | Economic collapse is on the way. Come on. Let's go take a look at what I'm talking about. |
| 0:09.0 | Hello everyone, Dr. Chris Martinson here, and today we're going to talk about the economy and things financial. As you know, I spent a lot of time in the past. Maybe you don't know. I have spent a lot of time in the past looking at systems, economic systems, how they come together, how they relate to our energy systems, also our environment, as well as looking at things like exponential growth. |
| 0:30.8 | That's the suite of ease that I typically look at. |
| 0:34.5 | And to me, everything I've been doing about reporting around COVID is merely a fractal |
| 0:40.7 | representation of things we're seeing play out in other places. Meaning that if you can decipher |
| 0:46.9 | how people behaved or failed to behave appropriately during COVID, you'll probably understand |
| 0:51.9 | you have some insights into how people are going to behave or fail to behave when it comes to other important things. Now, COVID, matter of life and death. We learned some things. We learned that that didn't really matter to administrators, to certain institutions, that somehow their narratives and the systems of incentives, perverse though they may be, |

| 2:02.9 | we live in. Now we're in a very different time. It's exceedingly important that you pay attention |
| 2:10.0 | to the macro stories that are out there. So, it is all about the systems. Here was a comment in |
| 2:16.7 | reply to this playing Russian roulette where I was talking about, |
| 2:21.3 | well, I asked a question, is Europe committing economic suicide? |
