I've known this for a long time but never mentioned it. I was cursed with deafness from birth, not total deafness but bad enough to blight my existence. That part you know if you've been a regular around here. So, what does this have to do with Peak Oil? What constitutes a doomer? People have different reasons for being total pessimists. In my case, I know that I'll hear just as well as everyone else in the afterlife. That is, I won't hear a thing and neither will anyone else. Not a noble or worthy sentiment, but inescapable for me. It's odd because I'm predisposed by nature to be cheerful, optimistic & friendly. So this energy situation comes along and I see a resolution to this conflict. This doesn't mean that my analysis of the situation is purely subjective. Rather, it explains how I can come to very gloomy prognostications without any blinders on. Does that make sense? Here's something that I have said before, there is something in every doomer that makes them predisposed to expect and accept the worst possible outcome to this. Don't forget, too, that most species that get to the top of the food chain don't stay there for long. That is fact as shown by the fossil record. The reward for that sort of evolutionary success is extinction. Always has been. Believe it or not, there once was a giant snail that was at the top of the food chain.

Do people know the proper use of the word then and than in the afterlife ? How about loose and lose ? Maybe we are dead now and we get born into a universe of proper grammar?

I'm no great snail!

Why don't you get a hearing aid with a 20-year warranty (and plenty extra lil' batteries)?

Do you have more information of this great snail? I couldn't find anything.
