So the Democratic Party hired a fat woman in order to reach out to...young male voters? Because of course they did. Despite a budget of 20 million dollars, the attempt failed. Meanwhile in Oregon, the state administration (D) have hired a person who identifies as a turtle to advise them on - wait for it - mental health issues. You can´t make this shit up! The inmates really are running the asylum at this point. Not sure if this Otherkin is a Unitarian Universalist, though.  

As I said before, if the Dems ever retake Congress and/or the White House, it evidently won´t be because of their (identity) politics. Centuries from now, historians will wonder what the heck went wrong with the Western world circa 2015-2025. Were we occupied by body snatchers, did somebody create a new religious cult, did climate change drive us mad, or what? 

If you find this in 500 years, please tell them that we kind of wondered about the same thing ourselves...

David Lynch has passed away. Or passed on? So now we´ll never know the real meaning of "Twin Peaks", or who actually killed Laura Palmer...

Another alternative "pagan" belief system among homeless people, this time teenagers and adults in Eugene, Oregon. Note that the author almost sounds like a skeptic, yet the article is clearly published in a Neo-Pagan magazine! A case of real pagans versus pagan LARP-ers?

Am I just imaging things, or is there more discourse like this "out there"? It seems to have begun when Elon Musk bought Twitter and turned it into X. 

Among hippies and yippies

 

A former hippie talks about his experiences of cults, counter-culture and various New Age quests during the 1960´s, 70´s and 80´s. It seems Vajrayana Buddhism straightened him out (more or less). 

Actually quite interesting. I discovered this content mostly by chance.

Nightmare before Christmas?

I love this article. It mentions a business actually called "Chad´s Christmas Trees", and a newspaper called "Cowboy State Daily". (They missed Greta the Grinch, though. I expected a based site like Breitbart to blame the Christmas tree shortages on Greta Thunberg!) There is also ACTA, the American Christmas Tree Association?!

Yes, it´s involuntary hilarity. In reality, this nightmare before Christmas isn´t funny at all. Something tells me a shortage of X-mas trees will be the last thing on our minds when shit really hits the fuckin fan on this rock...

I just stopped giving a damn about Amerik(w)a

I admit that I don´t really care anymore. If the US wants to fall, let them fall, then! 

Of course, the real point of this law is to provide more job opportunities for (White) "counsellors" to "remedy" the problems created by the law itself, while the POCs who de facto fail education standards can become activists for the Democratic Party (presumably low paid ones). Note that the Dems rather explicitly assume that colored people can´t learn how to read and write! In contrast to, say, the Great White Hope?

The Republicans who attack the bill are just angry that a bunch of low-information POCs will flood the colleges c/o affirmative action, which they want to keep as a lily White reservation for themselves... 

Or maybe they really do want their maids and slave laborers to at least be able to write their names in Inglés, who knows.

Don´t mess with ANTIFA, Joe

I told Joe (Biden) not to mess with ANTIFA, but he wouldn´t listen. This is what happens if you try to backpedal on police reform or express support for "gusanos". Look what a tiny little match stick can do...

ANTIFA i farten nu igen

Jag ser att ANTIFA är lite sura på att Joe Biden blivit mer polisvänlig och Kuba-fientlig senaste tiden, tänk vad en endaste liten tändsticka kan ställa till med, jahapp.

The Keystone Species

 

"The Archeology of Global Change: The Impact of Humans on Their Environment" is a book published in 2004 by the Smithsonian Institution. Yes, folks, it´s time for the Ashtar Command to bash the myth of the noble savage again! So far, I´ve "only" read the first part of the volume, which contains a somewhat eclectic blend of articles about Polynesia, the US Southwest and the Pacific Northwest. 

Humans have never lived in fundamental "harmony" with Nature, nor have they been "natural conservationists". The first evidence for overexploitation of natural resources comes from "archaic Homo sapiens". The size of tortoise shells and shellfish gradually decrease with time at Neanderthal sites around the Mediterranean, suggesting that our evolutionary siblings gathered (and consumed) the larger species or varieties first, making them go extinct! This also confirms the "optimum foraging" model, according to which humans should always harvest the most nutritious and easily accesible specimens first, and only then proceed to smaller, less nutritious and/or less accesible individuals. This pattern shows up again and again in the archeological record. In plain English, if forced to chose between eating and cultural ideology, most humans most of the time chose to eat. 

The contributors to this volume believe that humans were also responsible for the Pleistocene extinctions of "charismatic megafauna" in Eurasia, Australia and the Americas. I admit that I have no idea whodunnit, and the issue is only mentioned in passing, but some suggestive facts could be cited. For instance, that only a few species of megafauna went extinct in Africa, where humans and other animals presumably co-evolved for millions of years. By contrast, most megafaunal species went extinct in Australia and the Americas, where humans arrived comparatively late, and the animals hadn´t evolved any defenses against human predation. However, this assumes that received paleontological wisdom about human migrations is correct. What if humans arrived much earlier? An alternative hypothesis is that the megafauna went extinct due to climate change at the end of the Pleistocene. Of course, none of this has any impact on the conclusions of this book, which deals mostly with the Holocene (the present time period).

Patrick V Kirch´s article "Oceanic Islands: Microcosms of `Global Change´" deals with human impact on two Polynesian islands (Easter Island and Mangaia) and one ditto archipelago (Hawaii). The humans in question are the "Natives", the Polynesians, who colonized the islands long before the arrival of White Europeans or Americans. If pre-modern "Natives" are natural conservationists, islands should still be teeming with endemics (including flightless birds) and in general have the same biotopes as before colonization (except in cases of severe climate change). Unless, of course, evil Whites upset the balance! In reality, the Polynesians radically altered the island environments they encountered during their migrations in the Pacific. Nor is this surprising: the Polynesians practiced slash-and-burn agriculture and irrigation, introduced new food crops, and carried with them dogs, pigs and chicken. They were also followed by invasive species such as the Pacific rat or garden snails. And yes, they did hunt the animals already living on the islands...

Easter Island (Rapanui) was originally covered by parklandlike forests, with a canopy of palm trees. About 25 different species of seabird nested on the island. Rapanui was in effect a gigantic seabird rookery. There were also seven species of endemic landbirds. After 1,500 years of human habitation, Easter Island had changed completely: the forests had been cut down and replaced by grassland, the endemics were extinct, and most seabird species left the island, only a few remaining at small islets that are virtually unaccesible to humans. The Natives were fighting constant wars, which may have included cannibalism. 

The story of Mangaia (one of the Cook Islands) is similar. Probably colonized by Polynesians about 2000 years ago, the island´s environment had completely changed about 400 years ago. The interior of the island is covered by pyrophytic ferns and other fire-resistant plants, presumably in response to slash-and-burn agriculture. Of 17 documented landbird taxa in the archeological record, only four remained 600 years later. Some seabird species also left the island. Fish and gastropods found at archeological sites became progressively smaller over time, suggesting heavy exploitation of these particular resources. Mangaian society developed in a way similar to Rapanui, with constant tribal wars, widespread cannibalism, human sacrifice, and so on. (I won´t bother you with Hawaii.) 

The most fascinating contribution in the first section is titled "Revising the `Wild´ West: Big Game Meets the Ultimate Keystone Species" by Paul S Martin and Christine R Szuter. It meticulously analyzes the journals of the famous Lewis and Clark Expedition (1803-1806) to Montana and the Pacific Northwest. In Montana, the expedition encountered enormous flocks of bison and other game animals, one bison flock estimated to be 10,000 animals strong! The bison, elk, wolves and grizzly bears were also extremely tame. Clark managed to kill a wolf with his spontoon, suggesting that he managed to get very close to it (a spontoon is apparently a weapon about 2 meters long). The wolf was eating a drowned bison and seems not to have cared much about the human hunter, before it was too late! Lewis, Clark and their "Corps of Discovery" had no problem finding and killing animals for food east of the Rocky Mountains. West of the Rockies was a different story. There, game was virtually non-existent. At first, the expedition was forced to live on dried fish and roots provided by the Natives, something that made them sick. Later, they bought horses and dogs from various Native groups, with the intention of killing and eating them. Nor were the animals in the Pacific Northwest particularly docile. Killing a grizzly was considered an extremely heroic and manly act by the Natives, since these animals were so extremely aggressive. 

What could account for the peculiar difference between the two areas explored by the Lewis and Clark expedition? The two explorers themselves had no explanation, and many historians don´t give one either. However, the answer is right there, in the journals.

It´s the Natives, stupid.

The Native population was abundant *west* of the Rockies, where the game was most scarce. This would indeed suggest some kind of connection. The situation in Montana was more complex. An aggressive Native group known as the Blackfoot had virtually cleansed large areas of competing tribes by systematic attacks. Thus, the overall population density of Montana was probably lower than the areas further west. Of course, Blackfoot raiding had led other tribes to take defensive measures. Vast stretches of "no mans land" separated the various tribal territories from each other. In these areas, hunting was deemed difficult, due to the risk of being spotted and killed by scouts from the enemy tribe. Martin and Szuter believe that the abundant wildlife described by Lewis and Clark lived in these "DMZs". There is some later evidence for the same phenomenon, for instance Colorado circa 1820-1840, when the bison disappeared from the territory *when the Indian tribes made peace with one another*. A more recent example would be the border between North and South Korea, where wildlife is thriving.

These facts (plus the later disappearence of many Native groups) make it problematic to argue that current conservation efforts are about "restoring" an original, pristine wilderness. There simply isn´t such a thing. There hasn´t been a pristine wilderness sensu stricto since humans first arrived in North America 12,000 years ago. Animal numbers have been controlled by humans ever since. Humans are "the ultimate keystone species". The "balance" (if that´s the right word for it) between Native hunters and prey animals was disturbed when Natives aquired horses, but also when European diseases severly decimated the Native population. This led to all kinds of anomalous situations, often misreported as some kind of "Eden" where animals are super-abundant and tame. Something that is really the result of an atypical absence of human hunters, something seldom seen since the Pleistocene...

I will certainly continue reading this book with considerable interest. 

How Germans view America

"America´s new gurus - in search of enlightenment" is a German documentary with English narration, available on YouTube. I admit it´s extremely entertaining (up to a point), although it´s not clear whether it really gives an objective look at the "spiritual landscape" in the United States. Probably not, since whatever passes for "the United States" in DW´s production is a privileged sub-section of the White salaried middle class in LA and Las Vegas, with a quick detour to a neo-hippie camp in coastal Oregon! Is this how *Germans* view America? OK, come to think of it, Area 51 is in there somewhere, too...

First, we get to meet a "gender-non-conforming" boy-dressed-as-a-girl who claims to be a space alien, leads a weird sect called Unicult, and has tens of thousands of followers on the web. It´s not clear to me why he burns the star spangled banner in the middle of Cali suburbia, while having a portrait of beloved Saint Germain on his living room wall (I´ve been reliable informed by Michael - the archangel, obviously - that Mr Germain is the True Founder of Amerika, but I suppose that little detail about the "real" star spangled banner being golden-striped could explain Unicole´s act of sacrilege).

Next, the German dream team takes us to meet the lover of Norwegian princess (and New Age guru-ess) Märtha Louise, one Durek Verrett, a self-proclaimed "shaman" who openly brags about his huge house in LA, and all the celebs he hobnobs with. "The gurus have all the power around here", he says. Well, the man´s not entirely wrong, it seems! 

One thing that surprised me is that the current New Age/alt-spirituality scene seems so diverse, at least in terms of the wide variety of personality types drawn to it. I had expected everyone to be either an ugly middle-aged woman who knows everything about every bizarre primal therapy since Carlos Castaneda, or some kind of hippie. Instead, the milieu regroups pretty much everyone, from attractive young females (and ditto males) to middle-aged women, soy boys, trans-people and "basement dwellers". But no hippies! There do seem to be two lowest common denominators, though. One: they are all nuts. Two: most of them are White. (Durek is one of the few Black guys interviewed.) 

After this, the docu becomes progressively less entertaining, featuring a "therapy session" during which poison from a South American frog is administered to open wounds, making the participants vomit or worse. There is an interview with cult-buster Rick Alan Ross (author of "Cults Inside Out"). DW has also met a former member of a torture sex cult. 

Very eclectic, and probably a somewhat unfair look at the spiritual scene (except maybe in Vegas), but perhaps still worth watching on a cloudy afternoon. And yes, I´m considering buying "Cults Inside Out" and review it here on your favorite blog spot...  

Pinnipeds are verily food

Not a pinniped 

 

I´ve read some more in "Wilderness and Political Ecology", a semi-technical scientific work edited by Charles Kay and Randy Simmons, published by the University of Utah Press in 2002. This time, I tried to digest the contribution by William R Hildebrandt and Terry L Jones, "Depletion of Prehistoric Pinniped Populations along the California and Oregon Coasts: Were Humans the Cause?". After analyzing archeological sites and later eye witness reports, the authors reach the conclusion that the answer is indeed yes. This is controversial, since the humans in question were pre-contact Native Americans (American Indians), who according to received wisdom were supposed to be deeply spiritual and live in perfect balance with Mother Nature. In reality, the coastal Native tribes hunted and killed sea lions and fur seals to such an extent that it impacted their numbers and breeding habits. 

Originally, there were pinniped rookeries (breeding colonies) on the actual coast, but after sustained Native hunting, the sea lions and fur seals abandoned the mainland and instead established themselves at offshore islands. Or left the area altogether! Natives living in areas that lacked offshore islands had to switch from hunting sea mammals to killing terrestrial game instead. In one particular area, permanent coastal settlements were abandoned as the Natives moved inland to hunt land mammals or harvest acorns, which permitted the pinnipeds to re-established rookeries along the coast. 

In areas where pinnipeds were breeding on islands to escape the human hunters, the Natives developed their technology to go after them. This included harpoons, which gradually become more sophisticated. Above all, it included the building of large canoes. This in turn led to increased stratification within the Native tribes, as only an elite could afford to invest in such an enterprise. The person owning the canoe was expected to distribute food and drink to the canoe-builders and the crew members. An 18th century Spanish explorer reported that the canoes carried a crew of about 30 people, and Native informers apparently have a tradition that the boats were about 30 feet long. The concept of private ownership seems to have developed among the Tolowa, Yurok, Hupa and Wiyot tribes. Wealthy elite families owned boats, acorn collection groves, eddies for netting fish, and shares in offshore rookeries. Native groups which concentrated on hunting terrestrial animals had less social stratification, perhaps because this could be done without the elaborate organization needed to hunt marine mammals. 

According to the "optimum foraging model" of hunter-animal interaction, hunters should take the most nutritious specimens first, regardless of whether it´s ecologically sound to do so. Cultural or religious ideas about "sacred animals" should have no power to stop this. In other words, the model predicts that Natives aren´t "natural conservationists". Hildebrandt and Jones believe that the archeological record proves the model. Native hunters seems to have primarily killed female and juvenile pinnipeds, which makes no sense if the mission is to conserve resources, but makes perfect sense if the goal of the hunt is to obtain optimum food with the smallest expenditure of energy possible. When the pinniped populations were depleted, the hunters switched to sea otters, a pelagic species which is more difficult to hunt down and kill. There is even an example of a Native group which switched to sea otters after first having depleted the elk population! The archeological record from the Channel Islands in southern California show that the pinniped population fluctuated in response to the density of human settlement. Life on these particular islands was always hard, leading many human sites to be abandoned, at which point the pinnipeds came back - once again, an inexplicable fact if you think American Indians were "natural" or "spontaneous" conservationists. 

Curiously, the ethnographic record *does* suggest that the Natives actually were conservationists. However, the authors believe that these are biased samples, showing how one particular group acted at one particular point in time. Archeology looks at the broader picture, including chronologically, and then a very different scenario emerges. Also, there is a difference between "conserving" certain plants and doing the same thing to animals. The plant species most often used as examples of Native conservation ethics are the ones that reproduce and spread most easily and swiftly, often benefitting from large scale human-induced burning. Thus, seemingly paradoxically, increased human use of such a plant can permit it to spread even faster, for instance by causal dispersal of seeds or bulbs, regardless of the ethical convictions of the humans involve. Game animals, alas, don´t follow such a pattern...

The article also points out that pinniped populations have virtually exploded during the 20th century, as large scale (Euro-American) hunting of these creatures ceased. The pinnipeds have even conquered areas where they haven´t lived historically. The most ironic fact is that some elephant seals have established themselves at coasts with archeological sites, destroying them in the process! These would be sites of Native settlement. Remove the apex predator, and soon you have pinnipeds dancing on your grave...

With that somewhat bizarre observation, I close this little blog post.

Why Trump doesn´t just "send in the troops"

Could become obsolete in six weeks, but here is the article by Kurt Schlichter (a well known Trump supporter) explaining why Trump doesn´t just "send in the troops" to smash the anarchist riots still underway in many cities around the US.

Wow...is this...GOD?! If you ever miss your satsang, there is always DMT... 

The mainstreaming of David North

So I've been reading World Socialist Web Site, the publication of David North's "Socialist Equality Party", formerly known as the Workers League. For decades, the Northites were considered to be one of the crazier outfits on the far left, even a borderline cult. However, I noticed something strange when I browsed their web zine...

The SEP claims that Trump is "fascistic", the worst president in US history, that he is preparing to launch a civil war, and wants to end democracy. The COVID pandemic is painted in apocalyptic colors. The SEP supports the lockdowns. Climate change is another apocalypse. The Northites support the BLM protests (or Antifa riots). The Trump supporter in Kenosha who killed two criminal Antifas in self-defense is called a "murderer", while the anarchist in Portland who murdered a Trump supporter in cold blood is apparently a hero. 

Yes, you got it. *The Northites sound like any other leftist or liberal*. The hysterical cult has gone mainstream! 

OK, maybe not entirely. In contrast to other heroes of the color revolution, the SEP doesn't support Biden. They don't even support Sanders. Instead, they have their own presidential candidates. They are also opposed to "identity politics", the 1619 Project and toppling Lincoln's statues. In addition, they take a hysterical line internationally, as well. Apparently, Boris Johnson is "fascistic", while Justin Trudeau secretely cooperates with the far right?! 

Even so, I must say that the mainstreaming of the International Committee of the Fourth International and their traditional doom-mongering feels so 2020! 

Democrats playing with fire

Who is really threatening American democracy? While Hillary Clinton is telling Joe Biden not to concede in a close race, her close associate John Podesta recently played a war game which included West Coast secession and possible civil war...triggered by the Democrats! How is this not treason?

Imagine if Trump would do this, the attack articles in the media would never stop. The lesson: the globo-liberals are willing to destroy even the United States if the American people vote in the "wrong" way...

Statskupp på amerikanska

De senaste månadernas kravaller i USA har många till synes märkliga drag. Normalt sett brukar kravaller mötas med stenhård repression från statsmaktens sida. Men så har inte skett här. Snarare tvärtom!

I både Minneapolis och Seattle beordrade borgmästarna polisen att lämna polishusen när dessa attackerades av våldsamma ”demonstranter”.  I Seattle tilläts anarkisterna rentav upprätta en ”autonom zon” runt polishuset. Även i andra städer har borgmästarna på olika sätt uttalat stöd för protesterna och försvårat för polisen att bekämpa dem, t.ex. genom att förbjuda pepparspray (vilket i praktiken skulle tvinga poliserna att skjuta på demonstranterna istället) eller förbjuda angrepp på ”journalister” (något anarkisterna utnyttjat genom att helt enkelt kalla sig just ”journalister”). I New York City har bormästaren uttryckligen undantagit BLM-protester från coronakarantänen! Observera förresten att i stort sett *alla* BLM-protester är tekniskt sett olagliga då de bryter mot karantänen, men myndigheterna (som annars är väldigt nitiska) har inte brytt sig om att upprätthålla direktiv de själva utfärdat.

I St Louis, Missouri bröt sig en skock hotfulla anarkister in på en privat tomt i ett välbärgat område. Villaägarna svarade med att hota anarkisterna med vapen, vilket är fullt tillåtet enligt delstatens lagar. Trots detta valde St Louis distriktsåklagare  - som bokstavligt finansierat sin valkampanj med pengar från George Soros – att åtala *paret som försvarade sitt hus*. Polisen beslagtog deras vapen, och när det visade sig att ett av dem (en pistol) inte gick att avfyra, beordrade åklagarkontoret utredarna att göra vapnen brukbart – d.v.s. fiffla med bevismaterial. (Till slut valde delstatens åklagare att lägga ner fallet.) I amerikanska massmedier storljögs det i flera veckor om incidenten, som framställdes som ett exempel på hur ”rasister hotar fredliga demonstranter med vapen på en offentlig plats”, när det i själva verket framgick *av anarkisternas egen video* att de brutit sig in på privat område.

Vilket för mig in på massmedias roll under ”protesterna”. Medierna har systematiskt agerat Pravda. De påstår att Antifa, det våldsamma anarkistiska nätverket, inte ens existerar. Protesterna framställs som ”fredliga” – det mest absurda exemplet är en reporter som skriker detta samtidigt som explosioner och bränder syns i bakgrunden. Reportrar som haft egna säkerhetsvakter har framställt den autonoma zonen i Seattle (där flera personer blev mördade eller våldtagna) som ”fredlig”. Om medierna har erkänt våldsamheterna har de försökt skylla dem på högerextrema provokatörer, detta trots att alla som arresterats i samband med våldet har varit vänsterradikaler. Enligt den oberoende reportern Michael Tracey har medierna dessutom censurerat många kravaller – de nämner dem helt enkelt inte – och även kraftigt underdrivit förstörelsen i samband med de kravaller som trots allt nämns i nyhetsflödet. I Minneapolis var vandaliseringen och plundringarna *massiva*och riktades ofta mot butiker ägda av invandrare (t.ex. somalier), vilket ju är lite märkligt, med tanke på deras påstått ”anti-rasistiska” karaktär.

Alla borgmästare och åklagare som de facto ställt sig på anarkisternas sida har en sak gemensamt. De är demokrater. Medierna i USA (utom Fox News) stödjer också demokraterna. Kan det finnas en koppling mellan detta och deras till synes märkliga agerande de senaste månaderna?

It´s a color revolution, stupid.

Det är ganska uppenbart att det vi ser är en orkestrerad “färgrevolution” av det slag USA organiserat i många främmande länder. Nu har färgrevolutionen kommit hem, och används mot USA:s president, Donald Trump. Det vi ser är det senaste i raden av försök från demokraternas sida att störta Trump. Rysslandsutredningen fungerade inte. Riksrättsåtalet fungerade inte heller. Men kravaller kanske fungerar? Särskilt som demokraterna även kraschat hela den amerikanska ekonomin genom en ”lock down” p.g.a. corona, säkerligen fullt medvetet för att sabotera för Trump (den starka ekonomin var hans främsta argument för att bli återvald). Nästa steg i kuppförsöket kommer att bli valfusk i *massiv* skala via riggad poströstning. Såvida inte Trump gör något för att stoppa kuppen...

Hittils har Trump legat förvånansvärt lågt. Varför har han inte låtit militären rensa upp i storstäderna? Eller skickat fler federala poliser? Den troligaste förklaringen är att demokraterna *vill* att han ska göra det. Kravallerna är en fälla. Men Trump har valt att inte gå i den, trots ilska från hans egna anhängare om att han inte gör tillräckligt. Istället har de federala myndigheterna endast gradvis trappat upp sin närvaro, särskilt i Portland (där de alltså försvarar federala byggnader). Demokraterna vill ha ett blodbad, men Trump har hittills inte nappat. Vad som kommer att hända nu är oklart. Det verkar råda ett slags underlig terrorbalans mellan Trump och demokraterna (plus deras stormtrupper Antifa). Trump har gått kraftigt framåt i opinionsmätningarna, samtidigt som demokraterna fortfarande försöker gömma sin presidentkandidat, Joe Biden. Av allt att döma har Biden-kampanjen skjutit upp beslutet om vem som ska bli Bidens vicepresidentkandidat (d.v.s. USA:s faktiske president om Biden vinner). Kanske har demokraterna insett att deras ”regime change operation” har misslyckats och rentav visat sig vara kontraproduktiv. Frågan är om de kan ta tillbaka allt de ställt till med de senaste månaderna. Frågan är också om deras mediala propagandaarm – som inte ens drar sig för att försvara anarkistiska våldsverkare – klarar av att plötsligt ”gira höger” när husbonn kallar...

Det hela kan bli riktigt underhållande, om man har rätt sorts humor.

Min vilda gissning är att demokraterna kommer att svänga, låta polisen göra sitt jobb, och att stormbataljonerna offras till förmån för något annat fult trick. Gissningsvis de tidigare nämnda valfusket. Den som lever får väl se! Själv undrar jag även om det finns utländska intressenter med i det här spelet. Finns det några länder som eventuellt kan tänkas ha ett intresse av att försvaga USA med hjälp av färgrevolutioner...? Och *vad* skulle hända om Trump kom över något slags kommunikationer som visar att kretsar inom det demokratiska partiet kolluderar med Kina? Det är en väldigt, väldigt intressant fråga...
