My quest...

About two years ago I stumbled upon some information that in many ways changed my life. Life changing experiences sound so cliché and it could seem like they need to be in the form of something big and profound, almost godlike maybe. In this case however, it was just a new way of thinking when it comes to the assumptions that most of us make everyday related to the world around us.

I say that I stumbled upon this information, and that is in part true. I had not intended to find what I found but I've always been the type of person that is looking for things that most other people are either ignoring, choosing not to find or just have not thought about finding.

Before talking more about my motives for sharing this information in the form of a blog, I would just briefly want to touch upon the general idea and subject that this blog will be revolving around. To use the expression of someone else "the next twenty years will be completely different from the past twenty years".  Due to underlying structural problems in our society and the resources that it depends on, many things that we take for granted today will come to change. It will happen soon and it will happen fast. Knowing about them and accepting them as a likely outcome will get you one step further to being prepared. This is my belief as well as the belief of many others. It is important to remember though that these opinions in particular are not fact, but based on many facts that are available.

Since this information is not common knowledge and is presented in little to none of the media that most people come in contact with everyday, it is up to those that posses it to share it with others. Or is it?

I have known most of the things regarding this subject for about two years, and it is only now that I choose to actively try to pass it on to others. When trying to persuade, convince or show people that things are not as they seem, you are usually fighting a loosing battle. The score in the latest game of ice-hockey or football, who got voted out of lets dance or reading the memoirs of Justin Bieber are usually much more appealing things to follow than reading about what is happening in the world, especially after a hard day at work. For this reason I have chosen to focus my attention to those who are actively choosing to learn about these things, by for example reading this blog. I don't want to feel like a Jehovah's witness preaching to people who are not interested and just making them feel uncomfortable (however I might end up doing that anyway).

Whether people actually give a rats or not is irrelevant, I'm already aware that the vast majority do not have the attention-span to even read this far, and thats okay. But for those who do, I sincerely want to attract your attention and show you that you are better off learning about this sooner rather than later. Together we can build a network and perhaps, just perhaps we might end up making a difference...
