mm yes and since you brought it up lets not forget the methane released from the gargantuinly swollen livestock population ever since the industrialization of agriculture back in the 1950's

https://www.worldwatch.org/files/pdf/Livestock%20and%20Climate%20Change.pdf

World Watch Institute insists that animal agriculture is responsible for ~50%+ of current global green house has emissions. Which could have contributed to the melting of this ancient permafrost that will release the game changing ~50+ gigaton methane monster.

It's not that I'm hoping for apocalypse becuase I have nothing in this 1st world economy, I'm genuinley concerned with my future, and simply attempting to read the chess board well to determine my future strategy. I'm not even preoccupied or distracted with this subject, you should all see my accounting ;)

Assimilation worked well for the Borg of Star Trek fame; I doubt if it would work for you. [You will be assimilated; resistance is futile. You will comply.] You seem a bit too ruthlessly realistic to benefit from adopted superstitions. Do you carry a rabbit's foot with you for good luck? Do you pray for success? Do you avoid inauspicious numbers? I bet not. — Bitter Crank

Before I say anything else I want to first thank you for those referances Bitter Crank, I still very young and spent most of my life outside any good form of education. You giving me refrences for rare works that I may enjoy on the deepest levels of my personality strikes me as a very kind and caring thing to do. I will be giving them a look the next time I feel alone in this world. Which will probably be in the next 20 minutes.

And to everyone else, well, I really didn't expect this forum to be so active. I'm overwhelmed with the extent of the responses. But it just so happens that I now have more time on my hands than ever, so I feel I should address each sincere and or lengthy response with another response; if not one at a time, or one per day, and simply for the effort of establishing some respect and repoire, as I'd like to benifit atleast alittle from this forum somehow.

Now Bitter Crank; this is just it you see, you speak here as if one can benifit from adopting a superstition. Then you say, l'm "too ruthlessly realistic" to benefit from one. Are you saying that realism free of superstitions is a superior formula component for personal success, and that adopting a superstitous belife would be a downgrade? Or are you saying that it has to do with me? That I may be a natural realist, and that a natural realist cannot hold sufficient stable faith in a superstition.

Would you then go on to say that you must fully belive in a superstition in order to benefit from it? You see I was heading in the direction of the qestion: "does adhering to similar patterns in which those who belive in karma adhere to, seem to result in a similar amount of personal success, regardless of wether or not the person belives in karma?" This is my secound objective in asking the original qestion im sure you can see; "to look for patterns that seem to lead to success." I dont know how to conduct an experiment to answer such a question, but I feel that one could certainly be conducted, and that it is indeed a scientific question; even if I'm failing to ask it in scientific terms dispite my efforts to do so.

But I'm a fan of james cameron hahahahaha

I dont take your meaning.

This is probably a topic for another thread. I think this question I've proposed about karma and success is an interesting one.

I love my sadism, I want to just embrace it, it feels like true freedom to be myself. I just know that it is not socially acceptable, that its a very merkey lake to swim in.

I noticed many successful people talk about karma

And I want to keep eyes out for anything that increases my odds of success.

So I wonder about karma sometimes.

Thought it was best to retract what I said here in this comment.

no im more interested in proving weather beliving in it or even pretending that it exists does infact increase your chances of personal success.

I soppouse i was looking to see an examination of correlations between those who believe in or pretend that karma exists, and personal success.

Brain scans and mental development tests of those who are pro-karma vs. those who are anti-karma.

Percentages of self made millionaires that identify as pro-karma vs. percentage of those in post retirement(60yrs old) poverty that are pro-karma.

All to see if karma is a good thing to adopt into my beliefs and or superstitions. I will do whatever it takes to succeed in my own eyes, if adopting certin superstitions that I know are not true will even give me a psychological edge; then I will adopt them.
