State collapse is inevitable when a society’s leaders are insulated from the negative consequences of their bad decisions.

Best we build the Ark. NOW. Turn to the Lord with all your heart. Do not look back.
I think that is what Elon Musk is telling us. We need to go to space before we destroy ourselves.
Well, then perhaps there is a silver lining in the storm clouds of WWIII; in that it may be the one exogenous event that can stop the AI and digital surveillance state juggernauts in their tracks. It’d sure be a shame if the globalists cut their own faces off (in scuttling their long term objectives) by pursuing the war with Iran.
And even more fundamental to their success (or failure) is the fact that the entire modern world runs on oil, and right now the price of oil and it’s downstream products is already high enough to cause massive global economic impact. The longer this goes on, the higher oil/gas/diesel/LNG/fertilizer prices go, and the more demand destruction takes place. This wil also start fomenting revolutions in places where the quality of life crashes for lack of energy (and even more importantly, food) to maintain the status quo.
In short, a Chinese takeover of Taiwan, and a resulting embargo of exports from TMSC doesn’t even need to take place for everything to fall apart. Hell, future PC, smartphone and tablet sales are already in peril due to the way the AI boom is sucking up all the supply of GPU’s and RAM chips, and causing both supply shortages and huge price spikes. Without those things in ready supply, the digital leviathan cannot be adequately fed to survive and thrive.
The interconnectedness of what TPTB have planned for the future, and the resources (or lack thereof) needed to build and maintain the infrastructure behind it are presently at odds (due to the decision of at least some of them) to foolishly pursue war. It appears even the “masters of the universe” are finally running up against the hard limits of reality.
I think this also reveals that they aren’t as smart and all powerful as they’d like us to think. Much of what they’ve done can be seen as shooting themselves in the ass, if one believes there is a larger overarching objective to control everything via technology. Present and recent decisions are making that end point a lot more difficult and expensive to achieve at a time when it is already impossible to pay for everything they desire without using debt (fake money that doesn’t exist). Too many structural problems are converging at once for there not to be a massive failure in the offing.
China doesn’t need to ‘take’ Taiwan. They just have to convince the US that there is nothing in Taiwan for them. Note the tte ‘New’ paradigm in the world is Act first, apologize after. Blast TSMC to bits! Now there is nothing for the US to fight over.
Best Intended side effect. Before, 90% of the top chips came from TSMC. After, 90% of the top chips come from China. Now that’s some leverage to make the world accept your apology.
I think the plan is to take out TSMC if it looks like Taiwan will fall to China. My guess is that between Irans’ (actually the Muslim’s) will to fight to the death, and Trump’s ego, all Mideast energy production will be destroyed for years. Over half of US farmers have no fertilizer for the coming growing season because we outsourced that too. Things are not shaping up in a good way for the US.
