Peak oil, peak gas, peak food, peak whatever, it appears to me that civilisation is at it peak and it is a downward spiral from here on. Everything is at its peak because of limited resources or demand exceeding possible supply. We are doomed and there is nothing that can be done about it.

Same shit different "age"

Not many generations get to see the end of a paradigm and as a bonus be part of it!

The only way we can save ourselves is to abandon the collectivistic thinking and move towards hardcore individualism. This means that we first of all have to remove all forms of politics from the society and whatever government there will be left. A collectivistic society will never be able to cope with any chrisis worse than 5 centimeters of snow in a single day.

Think about it! Why will for example PO hit us so hard and why are we killing hundreds of thousands of camel jockeys in order to delay it a little? Well, that's because we are so dependant on a well oiled (!) society where money is the grease.

If the flow of money stops, the machine stops because we can't do anything ourselves anymore since we have given away our power to the bureaucrats and the corporations. In this just in time based world nothing will work without the constand flow of money.

The pliticians confiscate more and more from us and the coporations take the rest, and by doung that they somehow manage to keep us alive. I think we could do that ourselves!

Standup comedian on tv last night. This is what we evolved for! This is what we fought and strived for! We've got more freedom and money than ever before. We've got so much wealth and healthcare.
What's now ? Where do we go from here ?
Then he says, maybe we should just all have a vasectomy, life out the rest of our lives, and the last to remain turns off the light.. let in a couple of million years the next evolved species try again.
