X-Message-Number: 31177 From: Davis X <> Subject: Recession proofing. Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2008 22:31:13 -0500 References: <> I've been trying to submit my url with my own version of save-the-world kinda philosphy (ok it's more like save yourself). Hopefully this time it will get through, here is it: http://geocities.com/dennisfreethinker The basis idea is to form a community that actively engages in trade and gives preferential treatment to it's own members - in effect forming a micro-economy which can insulate itself (atleast partially) from a recession. The current 'recession' is entirely man made. I don't see why a situation like that would happen if the population were made up of 'smarter' individuals. Since the larger population is not going to smarter anytime soon - 'smarter' individuals teaming up to form their own micro-economy would be mutually beneficial. Any such co-operation involving cryonicists (I'd like to think they are smarter - I'm sometimes think I'm deluded in believing that) will also directly/indirectly strengthen CI/Alcor.
