Just wondering. Just in case if you haven't realized cornucopian beliefs are fallacious. They have been refuted by doomers time and time again. You can't maintain such an intellectually dishonest position forever. Just accept doomerism, so you can save yourselves, your family, and the people around you when the collapse of industrial civilization happens.

I don't know where I fall. I guess what I am most unsure of is timing.

If you are looking for cornys on this board you should do a search for the author: copious.abundance
He's probably the most prolific corny poster we have. He posts frequently in the economic threads such as:

LOL, I wondered why no one had googled it up but you all were on this way back when I was packing to move!

Oohhhhh ok, well that was an interesting youtube video!

That explains a lot about Desu. Like we used to have this one guy that had some kind of youtube channel and blogs and then he'd just post here a bit but you could tell it was really promoting his own site.

And there's nothing wrong with that, it's just that peakoil.com has always been a little cozy cafe (or nuthouse, depending on one's perspective) with the same old people talking for an ungodly long number of years -- and it's not someone that has a book or website or some other thing going on and then they are just promoting it here.

So you can tell when someone is like that, because they will just post but otherwise not engage with anyone.

Having said that, I respect anyone that's going to put themselves up on youtube etc.

@Desu
You probably shouldn't start so many threads, and just have maybe one thread you're most active in. You could post your videos but then also have conversations with people in these threads, but don't make it a debate like you already know everything there is to know -- because you don't -- there's a lot you can learn from others. If you talk to them, and not troll or preach.

Okay I'm going back to the Ukraine thread now, to preach at people.

On topic: yes, I'm a bit cornucopian.

And a Christian (nominal), too.

And I'm not hostile to religion, either. And nobody has the right to "eat me for breakfast." Hell, I may even vote Republican next time.

I don't get emotional about "peak oil." It either is, or is not, and I don't care either way. I used to be on the peak oil bandwagon, and now it looks to me like there really is an awful lot of shale and natgas in the world. So okay, my worldview adjusts to that new reality, I don't feel a need to cling to something else.

EDIT: Oh and another thing, I'm proud of America.

We Americans:

* Like oil, and cheap gas
* We can change, as needed and that's our success for centuries now
* We don't turn the other cheek if we get hit, it's in our DNA, so folk are best not to hit us please, thank you
* We are stubbornly optimistic, usually, except when in periods of depressive funk but those don't last and we remember who we are and then look out -- America is back in business and it's boom times again.

The shining city on a hill:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')n Matthew 5:14, he tells his listeners, "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden."

The phrase entered the American lexicon early in its history, in the Puritan John Winthrop's 1630 sermon "A Model of Christian Charity". Still aboard the ship Arbella, Winthrop admonished the future Massachusetts Bay colonists that their new community would be "as a city upon a hill", watched by the world — which became the ideal the New England colonists placed upon their hilly capital city, Boston.

I talked to Desu and he is really bummed that he was kicked off the forum. I told him that it was because he kept posting new topics, and people found it annoying. He promised not to post multiple threads any more.

I think he's a grad student and has just found out about peak oil, and wants to talk about it so much that he has overloaded our forums. He is chilling out now, and will be better in the future.

We were like that when we first found out too, weren't we?
