Isaw slums in East Africa and went to see the witch doctors in Benin City. I slept on the floor of police stations in Central Egypt and ate things I could not identify with desert-dwelling Bedouins in Sudan.
A survivalist makes a lot of preparations without digging a hole in the ground and stuffing it with provisions. A survivalist will first of all do anything possible to live in reality. Not in the version of the world that we try to imagine to make the world into an ego-pleasing, comically theatrical version of what it truly is.
The survivalist will take everything that happens and remove the emotions, remove the superfluous, and break it down to its true core. And then he examines if it impacts him, how this may happen, and how he intends to protect himself from harm or to recover from whatever hurt him in any conceivable way.
Truly exposing them to the consequences of their actions rather means making them enjoy the endless pleasures that their actions produce. As they wreck the economy and make everything much more expensive, they will need to be made to not only sample that but they must walk the talk.
So besides having a survivalist attitude, you must also keep an open eye on developments around you so you can react early and prevent greater harm to you. Going all in on the green madness and eliminating all conventional solutions such as heating and an ICE vehicle will expose Idiots. If you make more sensible choices while the going is not all that horrible, you will suffer much less. Keep your old trusted ICE vehicle around, and shun the subsidy for the heat pump. Learn how to fix your ride if it breaks.
Most idiots will harden and go extreme as they get exposed to the factual world and its consequences evermore. They will cling to their narratives come what may making them desperate and sometimes outright violent. They would rather die than admit that they have been wrong. Better keep your distance.
As they are constantly on the edge, they will be triggered very easily. You will trigger them with things that seem completely innocent to you and indeed anyone with a rational mindset. Interacting with them is like walking in a minefield. Things will blow up.
They do not understand jokes or double entendres. They will always seek to twist anything you say against you. And if ever you get one of them to start looking beyond the confines of their extremely narrow world, you can be sure as hell that there will be an even more extreme version that will pull anyone showing signs of rational thought back down into the abyss.
The 3 big, typical European Revolutions wanted to create a new form of human. The English, the French, and the Russian Revolution each had an ideal society in their minds. There was no place for a true diversity of thought. The revolutionaries knew exactly where the dividing line between good and bad was. The individual was irrelevant. Only the common good counted. Thats why each of them failed in the longer term. They denied reality.
Decentralized systems where power is close to the people and small offers idiots much less opportunity to camouflage and hence they are harder to permanently infest. Idiots are always pushing for big solutions and big systems.
I had the opportunity to share with Rudolf issues coming from a very challenging project, when we did all our best to achieve the better results in an uneasy business situation. I admired his deep knowledge of the LNG market and environment and his tenacity in looking for the best solution always. He is a clever manager with a clear view on the targets. It was definitely a pleasure to work with him.
I met Rudolf at the beginning of 2011, since we were both involved and working together within several European / Scandinavian projects for the development of technology, standardisation and legal aspect in the use of LNG as marine fuel and along its supply chain. Rudolf has vast expertise in, and perspective on, different aspects of LNG technologies, suppliers, infrastructures and supply chain options. He is able to provide a deep understanding and insight into these areas and is a conscientious and diligent source. Moreover, he is a tremendous visionary on the geopolitical, trading and technology aspects of energy, with a special remark for LNG traditional and small / mid magnitude chain. Rudolf has very proactive personal and working approach and is an excellent team worker and leader. Not least, he has a unique persuasive way of writing, negotiating and delivering speeches. I would certainly recommend him as an excellent expert and believe he would be a powerful asset for any company actively working in Oil and Gas. Thank you Rudolf! Marco
I worked with Rudi on a key Europe-Middle East LNG supply chain transaction. He is incredibly driven and pushed the deal forward under very challenging internal and external circumstances. He is culturally astute and was able to navigate very successfully through the various subtleties within the global energy community. Also a great guy to work with!
Rudolf is a true Business Developer. He questions everything, even his own logic and is not afraid to speak his mind. Rudolf had initiated our LNG activities in Africa and the Americas. He was THE authority to go to when issues arose in LNG but more generally when any issue the company did not know how deal with was on the plate. Rudolf is not a typical manager as we know it. He does not need a lot of structure and procedures and is extremely proactive when it comes to problem solving and making new contacts.
Rudolf is truly one of the brightest, most knowledgeable people in the world of LNG. He gives you the truth, not a version of it. He is not swayed, he can not be bought by the majors. Trust his word because it is always backed by facts!

Judge was born in Guayaquil, Ecuador, and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He graduated from the University of California, San Diego,[2] where he studied physics.[2] After losing interest in a career in science, Judge focused on animation and short films. His animated short Frog Baseball was developed into the successful MTV series Beavis and Butt-Head, and the spin-off series Daria (with which Judge had no involvement).
Michael Craig Judge[4] was born on October 17, 1962, in Guayaquil, Ecuador.[4][5] He is the middle of three children born to Margaret Yvonne (ne Blue), a librarian, and William James Judge, an archaeologist. At the time of his birth, his father was working for a nonprofit organization in Guayaquil and other parts of Ecuador, promoting agricultural development. Judge was raised from age three in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he spent a small portion of his life working on a chicken farm. He attended St. Pius X High School[6] and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in physics from the University of California, San Diego, (UCSD) in 1985.[7]
After graduating from the University of California, San Diego, in 1985, he held several brief jobs in physics and mechanical engineering, but found himself growing bored with science.[2] In 1987, he moved to Silicon Valley to join Parallax Graphics,[8] a startup video card company with about 40 employees based in Santa Clara, California. Disliking the company's culture and his colleagues, Judge quit after less than three months, describing it as, "The people I met were like Stepford Wives. They were true believers in something, and I don't know what it was". Shortly after quitting his job, he became a bass player with a touring blues band.[9]He was a part of Anson Funderburgh's band for two years, playing on their 1990 Black Top Records release Rack 'Em Up,[10] while taking graduate math classes at the University of Texas at Dallas.[9] He was planning to earn a master's degree as "a back-up plan" to become a community college math teacher after relocating to the north Dallas area for his then-wife's new job.[11][12][13] In 1989, after seeing animation cels on display in a movie theater, Judge purchased a Bolex 16 mm film camera and began creating his own animated shorts in his home in Richardson, Texas. In 1991, his short film Office Space (also known as the Milton series of shorts) was acquired by Comedy Central, following an animation festival in Dallas. Shortly thereafter, he dropped out of school to focus on his career.[9] In the early 1990s, he was playing blues bass with Doyle Bramhall.[14]
In 1992, he developed Frog Baseball,[9] a short film featuring the characters Beavis and Butt-Head, which was to be featured on Liquid Television, a 1990s animation showcase that appeared on MTV. The short led to the creation of the Beavis and Butt-Head series on MTV, in which Judge voiced both title characters as well as the majority of supporting characters and wrote and directed the majority of the episodes. The show centers on two socially incompetent, heavy metal-loving teenage wannabe delinquents, Beavis and Butt-Head, who live in the fictional town of Highland, Texas. The two have no adult supervision, are dim-witted, sex-obsessed, uneducated, barely literate, and lack any empathy or moral scruples, even regarding each other. Over its run, Beavis and Butt-Head drew a notable amount of both positive and negative reaction from the public with its combination of lewd humor and implied criticism of society.[15]
