Ok I will submit a review then when I can. I hope others here do too. Even if it's just a short positive review, it's still better than nothing.

Do you think that true AI and the full automation of society would be possible otherwise?

True AI is possible. But true AI would be smart enough to realize that humanity is worthless, and would wipe us out.

I remember some jobs you posted around the internet before. Did you post this one anywhere, and did others attack you for it?

I was attacked in a previous ad because I posted it to a mainstream forum. I no longer advertise jobs to modern Western scum. My last hire was a Russian. I haven't advertised the marketing work yet because I am not yet sure exactly what I want for this.

I know religion in some form is necessary for a functional / traditional society, but I see no way to effectively utilize religion at this point in history.

I attend a sunni mosque which gives me decent people to talk to.

I have to disagree about geography. It is important too. Both religion and geography are important. Without a real world community, bonds aren't tight enough. A man isn't going to sacrifice for or fight to the death for something on the internet.

Geography doesn't mean real world, it means physical distance. I agree that the real world is what matters, not the internet, which is one reason I don't post as often as I used to.

@fschmidt My hope is that true AI isn't inevitable, and that society will just collapse and reset itself. As you mentioned, AI and automation aren't threats as of now.

In the past two years the world has deteriorated even more than I had anticipated it would. I wrote Expatriation Apocalypse in 2015, and the situation was dire then. I'm sure all of us here on HA know that things are more likely to get worse than better. (That is, in regards to foreign dating, the economy, jobs, feminism, and of course the dumpster fire that is Western countries.)

The things I realized in 2015 when I wrote Expatriation Apocalypse were correct, but they were too limited. Back then, I said that the window to expatriation is closing. It is, but like most collapses, it is gradual and will not happen overnight. You will not fall asleep one night, and then wake up the next morning to have your passport revoked by the daddygov. (More than likely.) It will be a process:

Already, men who owe a certain amount in child support (in the U.S.) can have their passports revoked. Renouncing American citizenship is now more expensive than it used to be.

Things like that. Gradualism.

And then there is the bigger issue of expatriation itself getting more exclusive and more expensive. While most men could reasonably avoid other restrictions, this is the biggest of all that affects the most men. After all, how many of us would go abroad (or go abroad somewhere else) if only we had the money and resources to do it?

That is what the biggest problem for men is, and it will get worse. There is catastrophic economic doom coming down the line. I'm talking things like:

-massive unemployment rates

We have had high unemployment and underemployment for years now. It will come to encompass more of the population.

-fake jobs, fake job postings, scam jobs, etc.

Desperate times make the scammers come out in full force. Multi-level marketing (MLM) is huge now. These are effectively (legal) scams and can even be cult-like. Some (again, legal) scam companies advertise for “sales jobs” (often called 'direct sales' or direct marketing') which entail working for “commissions” (which never come because the products don't need a salesman – these scam companies often have “employees” who try to sell things in vain, such as office supplies or phone service. There is no need for a salesman there – anyone who needs such things can just go get them from retailers.) Even legit companies will put out fake job postings or job postings so bad that no sane person would apply. That way corporations can go to the government and say, “see! We can't find any American workers! We need H1B1 applicants badly!”

-automation

Automation is real and the only question is to what extent it will take off. The worst case scenario would be 100% automation of society which would in effect produce 100% unemployment. Along the way, it will kill jobs without creating enough new ones to fix the damage done to human workers. To what extent this will happen depends largely on the next one.

-artificial intelligence (AI)

AI could potentially replace all of humanity. Our wannabe tech overlords (such as Elon Musk and Bill Gates) are pushing this narrative that AI is a. good without question b. inevitable. They are certainly working hard to make it happen. Imagine an AI that can think faster and smarter than a human. Now imagine it being given a humanoid body. Now it can take your job, and everyone else's. If it becomes a true AI (truly conscious in the sense that humans are conscious)...(yes, I know, insert joke here) that also has superhuman abilities, it could well be game over for humanity. That would mean society becomes 100% automated, humans are replaced. The population and human influence declines, and then we're history. This would be what is called The Singularity, the point at which technology becomes runaway and the world slips out of our control. At this point nothing will matter because there won't be an us to be concerned about it. The AI could do a 'soft takeover' gradually like this, or there could even be a 'hard takeover' i.e. “terminator scenario” to destroy humanity. Another scary possibility is imprisoning humanity like in the movie The Matrix. Imagine a prison for your mind and soul that will last for an eternity.

The kicker? We don't know if true AI is even possible yet. Our wannabe tech overlords want us to believe that it is, but of course they would want us to accept this as inevitable.

And all this really only touches the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the dystopian possibilities!

OK, so what does all this matter in the meantime?

I'm sorry everyone, I have no hope to sell. So why am I here with a new book about expatriation?

Because it may be the last good thing you can do to improve your situation at all. But it probably won't last forever. Expatriation, foreign dating, foreign employment...in my eyes, all of these are dying.

Finished are the days of a man going abroad, putting in his effort, and emerging with a good job, a hot yet traditional foreign wife, and some peace and security. If you are independently wealthy, talented, and young...maybe you could do those things. Maybe.

I've been abroad (Asia) for several years at this point. I've seen some shit.

Smart phones are flooding into the third world. Turns out that cheap Chinese knockoff shit isn't as shitty as it used to be, but it is still cheap. The West f***ed the world indirectly here.

I've seen Western men married to foreign wives, but the man gone full cuck. Everything from a nasty divorce situation (like you would see in the U.S. no less) to the men letting their wives date other men to men who are browbeaten abroad, as “lifers” who can't escape, and meekly accept their fate.

Even traditionally “easy” routes like teaching English for a year and traveling are not so easy anymore. Standards are going up, and with it, requirements. Visas are harder to get. There are more hoops to jump through year to year. And a lot of young, stupid millennials and feminists have flooded into the major destinations too. This is still probably the most attainable thing abroad for a man to do, but unless you are going the 'real teacher' route it probably isn't for the long term.

And yet...I believe a man should make the most of expatriation while he still can.

That is where my book comes in. In Expatriation Ragnarok, I do three things:

I explain why we are in this mess, and give historical (and prehistorical) context to the decline and collapse of the West.

I explore the economic doom and dystopian possibilities that I believe are coming down the line, and go into how this will f**k over the common man even more than he already is.

I show you how a man can still take advantage of expatriation in its late days, and help guide you into changing your life and making preparations for going abroad, and figuring out where you want to go and what you want to do.

Ragnarok is the Norse myth about the apocalyptic battle that will end the world, but in the myth there is the story of the renewal of the world. I don't know about that in our real world. Nothing short of a Great Reset could help us, but will it ever come, painful as it would be?

My new book, titled Expatriation Apocalypse, is available here on Amazon:

Expatriation Ragnarok



May you have good fortune with your plans. Whatever you do, keep it simple and keep it going.

Awesome! where can I buy this book? Ragnarok is a Norse myth right? Should be really interesting.

Ragnarok is the Norse myth about the apocalypse, yes. Just to clarify though, my book is not about the myth. It's about the end of expatriation as a viable option and how to make the most of it before it becomes impossible for the average man. (And a lot more too, but that's the essential idea.)

Okay, I clicked the link and read a few pages. Sorry, this is stupid book

Well clearly you don't know anything about economics or advanced research. The world is actually get better for EVERYONE!

1. Under Capitalism, you are expected to hustle to the next leave or die. Luckily the formula for success IS fairly simple: Get a skill (if you don't have family money), make a bunch of money and invest. Decent financial quants get $500,000 per year, including bonus. You have to be strong, but you don't need to be a "rock star".

2. Once Al/automation reach maturity Capitalism will be replaced with socialism as humans won't be the driving force in progress anymore.

3. I'm pretty damn sure from my own experiences that 99.9% of stupid people have the worst types of bacteria. The GOOD news is the data being published is pinning down which bacteria are age-extension-healthy-antidisease bacteria and which are inducing diseases and cancers, diabetes, autism, etc.. but the problem is they don't cause a problem unless they become out of balance, or the primary healthy bacteria are wiped out by GMO pesticides or antibiotics.

Other research is saying that the microbiome you are born with, aka hereditary biome, defines your life-time disease profile and immune sensitivities... This extends to the brain development and extend of the immune assisted/driven pressures to see the world as dangerous, anxiety inducing, PTSD, etc neuro-wiring intensity amplifiers, which connections are over developed or underdeveloped.

Throw in the antibiotics from doctors who don't know one thing about any of the above and you've got the modern decline of a civilization.

We need a full scale analysis of these for bacteria/fungi influences on diseases/brain development/civilization. Once we have that you can say good bye to most societal problems.

So to summarize, humanity in 50yrs, hah, will either be dead from a super plague of a bacteria/fungi that wipes out more than 90% of humanity and that will take civilization with it. Or, AI will finally takeover all the labor humans do to provide humans and either the greedy own it all or most governments decide only the governments can own the AI-robots due to there being no way to employ anyone to rebalance the wealth gap. Or it’s pretty much the same as it is right now... go back to the 1970s, almost 50yrs ago, and ask what’s different? Hand held radios were the iphones/video games were being created, the mouse and GUI interfaces had been invented but not mass produced, the fastest computers were cracking encrypted messages sent by Russian spies and shit like that... the Cold War was raging, yeah pretty much stupid as it is right now. People were still driving cars with gasoline, but it had lead in it which increased violent tendencies in kids and that led to higher incarceration rates... those decreased after a generation without lead in the gasoline.

50yrs from now: you’ll be able to 3D (aka instantly) print almost anything from CPUs to shoes, using carbon or metals or plastic polymers or even cells and tissue structures to print living organs.

The first artificially “printed” human should have reached “alive” status by 50yrs... albeit the printed-human won’t be any smarter than average humans.

Artificial intelligence should be smarter than most people and fit in your pocket.

The average pocket-supercomputer will be running 2Thz of processing performance and be the size of a dice with about 500TB of integrated memory, it’ll actually by 20000 processing units within a 3D network running at 200Ghz each but most will never be on for more than the heat dissipation allows or the processing of a small delta update. Don’t worry it’ll have integrated water flow “speed” settings if you have water flowing through it.

I actually know the design parameters for designing that 3D CPU, only thing waiting to be done from current “tech” to build the dumb thing is the stacking of individual layers needs to be built using an embedded “ion implanter” technique, in-place of the deposition layering using photomasks for lithography... the reason I say it is dumb is because they already have the ion implanters and they can do this today but it’s only used for medical science and chemtherapy type stuff. And they need to switch materials to facilitate this change from layering to material tweaking, plus they need more redundancies to allow for the huge number of material defects (aka those 20000 working units will likely really be in the 100000-500000 dead units mix!).

Good day

Blah, in the future a pessimist will be defined as someone having the wrong bacteria that induces extremely high levels of anxiety present in the intestines and the increased “synaptic pruning” rate in the brain inducing the damage in the brain due to having the gut wrong bacteria, usually when it is out of whack after antibiotics. A nasty infection during gestation can also induce the bacteria out of balance issue and cause the severe type of autism and/or Down syndrome ... all indicating lack of energy to buffer the immune activity and lack of b-vitamins (usually from bacteria in the intestine, so also indicating a bacteria imbalance) which has been show to exist when deformities show up.

See, that is what you're missing. Your "analysis" doesn't go deep enough! It's just more shallow shit. How are you going to explore 'possibilities' without exploring HUMAN BIOLOGY? It's like talking about a car without talking about the engine. Lol, that's pretty funny. GO BACK AND START OVER.

The rest of your thesis is just pure ignorance. We have adjusting going on now with globalization as capital is shifting to lower cost places and consequently worldwide wages and standard of living are increasing. In the 1950s wealth was concentrated in the United States. The rest of the world was poor. @Aron why don't these people understand basic economics? lol

[MattHanson1990]

How are you going to explore 'possibilities' without exploring HUMAN BIOLOGY?

One can explore possibilities without it. I am exploring possibilities through the lens of human nature, which I could accuse your analysis of lacking. The best analyses are holistic, looking at the whole instead of the parts individually. That would take more than one book to do well.

We have adjusting going on now with globalization as capital is shifting to lower cost places and consequently worldwide wages and standard of living are increasing. In the 1950s wealth was concentrated in the United States. The rest of the world was poor.

The rest of the world is increasing in wealth because the West is decreasing in wealth. If it was true that everyone on earth could achieve the Western standard of living, it surely would have happened already. Or be in the process of happening. Instead, the Western countries sold themselves out, in many cases giving away their wealth, jobs, knowledge, and more to foreign countries for virtually free. Now the West is much poorer while the other countries are much richer. Finite resources on a finite planet and all that.

My hope is that the third-world countries won't all develop past a certain point (China becoming a first-world country appears inevitable) because fertility rates fall below replacement levels, you have aging populations, women become disinterested in starting a family or even a relationship, cost of living goes up, there's an epidemic of lonely men.

1. Lol, try nice bro, but like I said before, go BACK and start over. Human nature i.e. ways of thinking, feeling, and acting is BASED on what? BIOLOGY i.e. chemical processes, molecular interactions, physiological mechanisms, etc. Pathogens CAN affect the way people think, FEEL, etc which you don't take into account at all. Educate yourself https://www.mnn.com/health/fitness-well ... -brain-gut

2. That's what "adjusting" means: alter or move (something) slightly in order to achieve the desired fit, appearance, or result lol. Why would it have happened already? Where are you getting this data... your ass? Lol. China's GDP is going up so much Chinese businessman are moving to Africa for lower cost
