700L of fuel. When it isn't even moving. There's your "climate change".

I do about 45-60% of my cooking with a wood fired oven I built myself, another 15% on the charcoal grill, the remainder with bottled gas. I eat like king, whole fresh food, locally sourced, bought in local businesses.

Quite how they sold this shitty way of living where one is reliant on corporations for low quality food, when most people's needs can be met with a small garden, fishing sustainable pelagic fish stocks and having ruminants graze non-arrable land is beyond me.

IQ is a poor measure of intelligence. Book smarts, solving puzzles, verbal ability and so on is a very narrow band of capabilities, typically schooling and upbringing are big factors, as well as training. It does not preclude irrationality, emotionality or short circuit thinking.

One issue I think explains why iq smart people got tricked was their social standing, they are comfortably off people who trusted the system, so they didn't do their due diligence. People are a bit lazy and will guide themselves by loose assumptions instead of exhaustive analysis

The vax was an easy puzzle though. I just read the landmark trials carefully and saw many shortcomings. Also people should have been alerted by just how weird the rest of the pandemic nonsense was, like the medieval lockdowns and masks with absolutely no definitive proof to support them.

They'll see hunger as a useful way to destabilise countries, steal wealth and kill useless eaters (those that didn't win the birth lottery)
