The State of The World PART 2 (What Changed in the last 10-15 Years)

This post has been continued from part 1.

16) Global warming

There were many people obsessed with this shit back just a decade ago. Politicians were pushing it and you would see news about it.

No one seems to give a shit about it today, although I think the issue will be back to the forefront once economic times are better and people can worry about frivolities again.

17) Transgenderism

Another thing that grew with the economic boom and then died out with the recession. When you are making money and are optimistic, you have time and energy to worry about nonsense like men turning into women and vice versa.

When you are anxious about your job and worried about being replaced by AI or being hit by tariffs or whatever else, you simply don’t give a shit about things like transgenderism.

If someone wants to chop their dick off and become a eunuch, they can do so but to act like that’s a normal thing was mostly propaganda. Sadly there are many humans who are stupid enough to fall for things like this.

When we look back in history, we laugh at people who used to burn women because they were “witches”, and here we have hundreds of millions of people who think that chopping a man’s dick off makes him a woman. Sigh.

18) Pets

People lack money to have children. More and more people are choosing to get pets now. It was NOT a common sight before. Now so many couples have pets.

Many people I know getting married today are doing something called DINK (double income no kids) because they want to avoid the costs and the responsibilities of bearing children.

In the future I am 100% sure they will have cats and dogs to bear with the loneliness and to get the feelings of being a parent and will end up bearing the costs and responsibilities of animals (pet related stuff and vet visits aren’t cheap).

At the mall where they allow strollers, there’s a 50% chance that the thing in the stroller is going to be a cat or a dog and not a real child.

At the very least I can say that this is a type of natural selection. The retards get wiped out.

19) Tourism

Seems to be doing real well. More people moving to cheaper countries to escape high costs and taxes in the first world. South East Asia is full of white people and bow legged hookers.

20) Changing financial benchmarks

$100k a year used to mean something. It was something people used to aspire to. Not anymore. $1m used to be considered rich, and now it’s often not enough to buy a decent house.

The depreciation of currency has been real and fast. Remember that inflation being “transitory” is not what you think it means.

21) Soft-colonization

Just like how many white people are moving to SEA and changing the culture and economy there (much to the annoyance of some locals), more and more Moslems are moving into Europe and essentially colonizing it.

They are voting Moslem politicians and policies into power, getting freebies from the taxes paid by the locals, and overall taking more than they are contributing.

They have 10 children while the local white woman has a dog. The future of Europe is Moslem (unless of course at some point they end up electing a Hitler 2.0 to take care of the problem). Who knows what will happen?

I am in full agreement with Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Foreign Minister of the UAE when he calls many European countries “incubators of terrorism” and says:

There will come a day when we see far more radicals, extremists and terrorists coming out of Europe because of lack of decision-making, trying to be politically correct, or assuming that they know the Middle East and they know Islam and they know the others far better than we do, and I’m sorry, that’s pure ignorance.

22) Population decline

15 years ago, everyone was talking about how the population being so high was a bad thing and it was hurting the environment. Now the conversation seems to have flipped and people are talking about population decline and why that’s a bad thing.

23) Prostitution

Softer digital forms of prostitution have become increasingly destigmatized. Tons of women are on OnlyFans and the number is only increasing.

The media is pushing it (interviewing these prostitutes as if they were accomplished professionals) because they want it to become an everyday thing.

24) Racism against Indians

Let’s face it, we are the new niggers. It’s socially acceptable to use racial slurs against Indians.

Did you know Indians used to be called niggers (although coolie was more popular) by the British for a long time after we lost the First War of Independence in 1857? Most Indians don’t.

People don’t like that India is becoming more successful and that Indians all over the world are doing better than the native populations. That’s why they find reasons to hate you.

25) Attention spans

One of the big reasons why so many written blogs lost their readership. Most people today just lack the attention span to be able to read. They are too addicted to reels and TikTok and need a dopamine hit every 10 seconds.

In today’s world, being able to read long form text MASSIVELY correlates with being successful in life. If you’re not reading 1-2 books a month, you’re doing it wrong. If you don’t know what book to read, I recommend several.

26) Social media

Before 2020, if you saw a post on social media, you assumed it was made by a real human.

Now no one is sure if something is written by a human, written by a human with the help of AI, or written entirely by AI.

Even some legit long time writers are now starting to use AI:

Typos used to annoying, but now they are a sign of life.

27) Increased loneliness and suicide

Yep, this problem has gotten exponentially worse and worse. Most of the deaths to suicide are men. Men are told to keep quiet, never cry, never ask for help, so they just bottle it up and kill themselves.

The economic realities are that life for many people is worsening, divorce rates are sky high, and men are at their weakest when they are suffering from financial problems or a divorce.

28) Location independence / sovereign individual

This is huge. Bigger than most people think. Governments are already starting to compete for the best and the brightest people.

They want the top 1% – the entrepreneurs. They offer what they can – low taxes, low crime, better lifestyle, etc.

UAE/Dubai, El Salvador, and a few others are playing this game really well while the rest are starting to catch up.

29) Porn addiction

It used to be a thing in 2010 as well but internet speeds have increased, access has increased, and AI is showing up that can take a photo of any woman and turn her nude and do whatever you want.

Gen Alpha and Beta are going to have their brains fried before they even hit adulthood.

30) Bigger divide among winners and losers

The divide between winners and losers is widening thanks to the internet. Back in the day, a winner had a much better job than the loser and made 2-5x as much.

Today winners make 100x what losers make. Here in India many people I grew up with make $3000 a month and consider it to be a good income. I will usually make more than that in 1 day.

If you’re not making money from the internet, you’re falling behind whether you like it or not. You’re not going to get rich from investing $100k in Bitcoin (even if it triples), but you will get rich pulling in tens of thousands of dollars each month from the internet.

As I said in Part 1 of this piece, if you want a starting point, take a look at The Art of X, The Complete Web Design Course™, or The Art of Copywriting (whichever interests you most).

That’s all for today.

Until next time.

Your man,
