It's been said that "ignorance is bliss".
Do you ever regret knowing about PO and its tragic consequences? Do you ever catch yourself thinking (if only for a second) "I wish I didn't know?

[Ludi]

Nope.

[Cashmere]

no

[hope_full]

No, because everyone is going to know about this sooner or later and I'd rather be in the "sooner" group (even if I am somewhat new to the group here).

[mos6507]

Wow, I'm surprised not more people regret it. I'd rather not have known, but I am a curious person by nature so it would have been unlikely.

I think knowing makes watching the events unfold that much more interesting. I've suspected most of my life that something was wrong and in fact, with no prior knowledge of peak oil wrote a high school essay (~ 1998) about the instability of the global financial system and our dependence on oil. I became "peak oil" aware in November of 2004 and have not looked back or once regretted having time to prepare for what is coming.

I've tried being a sheep.....from about 2000 to 2001. My little experiment was ended rather quickly. Here I am. But still there are times where I wish I did not know......jeez...this is my second time conversing about this today....oh well. Overall, I'm better off knowing...now if that damn Planet X thing could get sorted out!

[Narz]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Roy', 'N')o. I regret that I didn't figure it out until 2004.

[RedStateGreen]

I've spent my life searching for truth, so ... no. I would rather know what hits me.

[mystiek]

Nope-I've had a somewhat PO mentality especially since my masters and doctorial research was in engineering with background in the energy fields. I worked underground and surface mines (in an engineering capacity) in several appalachian coal mines. I have been a fan of Urban Survival daily news and stumbled on to PO from there-I wish I would have found this site earlier.

[alpha480v]

No I don't regret it. I just wish that I had found out a bit sooner though.

[PhebaAndThePilgrim]

Good evening from Pheba, from the farm:

I should have taken the blue pill!

[doomlover666]

Hells no,

I would hate to be one of the billions of sheeple and be completely oblivious to the carnage thats about to soon unfold. I just hope I have a little more time to prepare and bury more cans of spam. By the way he who has the rare spices and coffee shall be king when WTSHTF. PS and chocolate too!

[threadbear]

I've always thought that chaos lurked beneath the surface of anything that seemed to be too much of a good thing. Also, that N.Americans lived in a fool's paradise, vastly out of step with the constrained circumstances of most on this planet. Didn't seem fair. So, it's intuitively a very appealing idea to me.

[sameu]

no
I'm also glad I didn't find out sooner, the cassandra syndrome would have killed me

[allenwrench]

Never a regret for me.

The contemplative life finds its joy in discovering truth.

Although I do regret 'the existence of PO' sometimes and wish I could have kept on being a carefree energy whore.

[Arsenal]

Nope. Knowledge is very powerful tool to motivate.
