The Wisdom Of Crowds, a topic I think is very worthy of discussion as it impacts how the public will perceive and react to Peak Oil.

The Wisdom Of Crowds

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Alfred Tennyson', 'W')e are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will

Replace the words "lupin hypothesis" with AGW & climate change and "cholesterol" with CO2, and it puts a whole new perspective on things.

Replace lipid hypothesis with peak oil theory and cholesterol with technotopia and you get a whole new perspective. People are not beliving peak because hey are being told he symptoms are from something else than the peak of production.
II Chronicles 7:14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

First lets try and keep this thread on the topic of Peak Oil, second having said that your analogy breaks down because the Lipid hypothesis and its Cholesterol sub-theory never had any hard science behind them. Anthropogenic Global Warming being linked to CO2 has a great deal of hard science backing it up. Enough said, if you want to talk global warming being a hoax there is a whole thread on the Environment forum where you can post your doubts to your hearts content.

Any other global warming thoughts on this thread will be relocated to the appropriate thread as soon as I see them.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', '
')Tanada, how do you apply this to peak oil? Some folks really want to believe in tight shale, energy independence, and oil-bidness BS. Others think tight shale will poison them and alternative vehicles and permaculture will save the day. I guess it depends on which expert (or story) your tribe tribe chooses to anoint.

I think myself that the 'experts' meaning those anointed by the Media have been fooling the masses for quite some time on the issue of Peak Oil, ever since 1971 or there about in the USA. However thanks to Social Media and places like Peak oil dot com I think the crowd is gaining wisdom on the topic, things like several years in a row of his fuel prices and rising everything else prices while the media trumpets LTO as the latest greatest solution e ver makes people think just maybe the anointed experts are full of hooooey.
I also think that means as the crowd wisdom shifts we will be getting more and more traffic so we better get our head screwed on straight so we can share our crowd knowledge too.
