Only read part of it so far, but I’ll say HELL YEAH!!! After I read it all, if necessary, I’ll make corrections. I’ve read some good stuff on Unz – some not so good too.
very much a LOOONNNNGGGGGG read, for those that weren’t ready for such.,, shoulda warned ya.
I did finish it and I have to say, other than his assessment that ONLY the religious are going to make it through (and I didn’t read that but it was implied, heavily) I agree with him. Only the moral and ethically upright are going to have the fortitude to make it WORK,,, discipline is a good starting ground, but there must be other foundations in place and that would be morals and the ethics instilled by religious teachings, not neccasarily the beliefs, (though, those do help when it comes to most people,,,)
