Orlov: Communities that Abide Q&A
[Update: there are a lot of comments, some interesting, but it seems like a lot of commenters think that I am advocating becoming like the communities I described or holding them up as models. No-no-no! I simply pointed out that they are uniquely successful in terms of their longevity and outcomes, and described the commonalities that make them successful. Please draw your own conclusions. You can run off and join them or damn them all to hell. But please leave me out of it.]

“But please leave me out of it.” — Please, if you’re going to be out there as doomer, then you should expect people to include you.
Actually Orlov is a hypocrite, a paradox, and making money off of doom, like many others on the Web. It’s pretty funny if you take the time to think about these folks.

Rick, this is America, the country that makes a living off of war. You need money to live here, lots of it. He has found a way to use his experience to make a living.
Isn’t that the goal of every website that has advertising in the margins? The goal of every
investment counselor/financial adviser’? The aim of every author that writes a book? Designs a new game for the I-toys? Or even the toys themselves?
Don’t assume that some group is going to take you in if you cannot contribute something of value that they need. Especially skills. The need for exotic skills like IT will NOT be needed as the net will be gone. Skills that he lists on his site are valuable to you whether you are alone or in a group.

“Making money off doom”? “Make a living”? If you think that selling a few books on an unpopular subject here and there constitutes “making a living,” then there is no limit to how much else you don’t know. I’d make more money sewing garments in Bangladesh.
