Pensions and insurance

Quite a few years ago now I got very interested in all aspects of gambling.  I calculated probabilities, odds, combinations and permutations.  I even devised a football pools plan that got barred by Littlewoods.

The numbers and percentages and the calculations I found very interesting and still do (I make use of the betting exchanges nowadays for matched-betting opportunities).

What I could never work out, even with my reasonable understanding of maths, was the notion of pensions and the concept of insurance.  Even with a very simple and basic approach, the numbers do not add up.

For example, I earn £100 a week and pay out £10 per week into my pension 'pot' and my boss matches my payment, hence £20 a week is set aside for my future.

If we assume that I started the job when I was 20 and retire when I am 65 then we have approximately £45,000 on retirement - nice!  However, this money has to replace my wage and tide me over so to speak and at £100 a week will last about 9 years - great unless I live for another 10 years or more?

BUT, people argue. Your pension payments are invested into pension funds and stock markets and buildings and currencies etc., so the total amount will always work out more than the £45000 because of the interest earned on these investments.  That, is the problem.  There is simply no guaranteed investment that can give any level of interest - it will always be a gamble.  If there was a guaranteed way of making 10% profit each and every year - we would not need to work at all.

The money that is the pension system is the money that is in the pension system and there will be no more.  In effect every year you work is to provide a week's worth of pension and in today's climate, you may not be able to work for a whole year.

As people are living longer and working less and less - that dream of happy retirement is fast disappearing.

Drone Watch

This is an attempt at a prediction for future TV - Drone Watch.  Meet the pilots of today's modern fighting force of super special drones.

Each officer can't be identified of course so they take on personas such as Storm, Might Meat & Top Gun.  We get to watch over their shoulder as they track and hunt down the family of rebel insurgents.  We feel their pain and disappointment as they miss an easy kill.

Interviewed later each pilot has their own mini fan cluband it all becomes a realistic Robot Wars.

Fictional precedent

There is a form of law that I believe is called 'case law' where previous cases, judgements and rulings are taken into account to set a precedent.

I think we all follow a similar procedure when faced with the events of daily life, in that we search our own memories for how others have reacted / responded to related events we are experiencing.  Most of these memories however are taken from fictional examples we have seen on TV or the movies or heard about through the radio or conversation or stories / articles we have read in books, magazines and newspapers etc.

Thus we act as actors have acted(!) or as characters have acted in some drama.

Fictional precedent.

If someone controls the media industry and can promote certain authors to provide the authorised stories, then you have power and control over how people will react to upcoming events because you will have pre-programmed them through their fictional precedents.

Not so bad

It occurred to me the other day (I am a little slow on these things sometimes) that we have been raised from the start to believe that this world is a good place to be and that everything will always work out for the best at some point - we just have to get through all these temporary setbacks.

Our lives are meant to be simplistically happy ones.  Work hard at school and then get qualifications, a good job, money for the trinkets, nights out and holidays.  Funny programmes on the TV.  Interesting programmes on the TV.  Addictive programmes on the TV.  Celebrities everywhere just bursting to entertain or shock you. 

Serious analysis of unimportant topics in the newspapers and on the TV.  In-depth discussions on the radio or TV.  Magazines to inform you of the latest trinkets you can save up for, places you can visit, what the celebrities are up to. TV programmes to tell you all about the latest trinkets, places and celebrities.

All nonsense.

The world, this world, is not a nice place.

We have been deceived since the day we were born and continue to be deceived everywhere, all the time - it really is virtually non-stop and the biggest factor in all of this is that the people we encounter everyday in our lives are almost all, unwittingly, part of the deception.  They tell you or advise you what TV programmes to watch, magazines to read, celebrities to follow etc.

All distraction, all deception, all nonsense.

Money - it's a hit

I am trying to work out some statements based on the nature of this money (debt) based system that we are in and will not be able to escape.

Along the lines of :-

"Profit is in a treatment not the cure"

"The goal of any profit based business has got to be toward a monopoly by definition"

It seems absurd that the less money you have the more you have to pay out.  Higher charges for your gas / electricity, loans at extortionate rates having to shop at more expensive local stores because you can't afford to run a car to get to the out-of-town supermarkets etc.

The move towards austerity was planned a long time ago and is linked in with the depopulation agenda.
