Basically for almost all net accounts but peakoil.com, they're basically a digital legacy. But with the peakoil.com accounts something more should be on consideration. Tracking who is dying where because of what when TFSHTF... maybe with a google (or other) maps of death.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('BigTex', '
')I think for many people the reality of how they really feel about things is never clear to them because they never have occasion to really talk it out, and if necessary defend beliefs that may be more irrational than they thought.

A forum like this is really a marvelous tool for self-understanding, if you're interested in that sort of thing.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Tyler_JC', 'I') doubt even a small fraction of the posters on this forum are at risk from the dieoff.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Ludi', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Tyler_JC', '

-I thought about this some. If I were to get hit by a car while jogging tomorrow, none of the people I have cared for, and been in a community with for the last four years would know the difference until the following Wednesday, when the Weekly Petroleum Status Report comes out.

At least we have kind of a collegial bond, maybe at some level emotional. I would much rather the people of PO.com know I had kicked the bucket, compared to some of the cretins I have worked with in various actual jobs over the years.

If I were to die, this entire forum will know. I am writing a script in C++ that will automatically login and post my death notice. I am still working out the technical details on how the C++ script will know I am dead. But, I will figure out something.

[Tyler_JC]

I gave my password/username to my roommate. If I die, he's supposed to post a message in the open discussion forum.

Depending on how I die, it might be in the Hall of Flames.

I'm an Eagle Scout. Be Prepared. All that good stuff.

If the death notices unfolded anything like the expert tags, it would probably turn into a big joke pretty quick.

Sorry, Tyler,

You said a couple of posts back on this thread that very few people on thiis forum were at risk of the die off. I've been out and am three sheets to the wind.

Jayraymondson,

Not particularly charismatic I would say.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('BigTex', 'I') know that I have gotten to know myself much better through discussing things here. Often, you don't know how you feel about something until you actually articulate your feelings as part of a discussion. Most real world discussions are too full of posing to really dig into things in a meaningful way. Not always, but often.

The group of minds that gather here would never cluster in any other setting because it is too hard in the real world to identify interest in topics discussed here with much efficiency or precision. I know a lot of people, but I have no idea who most of them REALLY are.

Also, most real world discussions about doom, peak oil, and subtle problems with our beautiful industrial eartholopolis, even good ones, are at the basic level compared to some of what is discussed here. It's as if all of the introductions and background are unnecessary here. You can just hit the ground running.

I think for many people the reality of how they really feel about things is never clear to them because they never have occasion to really talk it out, and if necessary defend beliefs that may be more irrational than they thought.

A forum like this is really a marvelous tool for self-understanding, if you're interested in that sort of thing.

[BigTex]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Devin', 'B')ut then on further thought, even as a long-time forum participant of many different forums, most (all?) of the really meaningful discussions and conversations I've had have been in person or at least real-time, in phone or on instant messenger. It has a less scripted, more raw feeling -- and if you HAVE done the self-understanding bit prior to the conversation, and the other person has as well, some really amazing stuff comes out of it.
