Every upward move of the stock symbol ticker is essentially a statement that “WE DON’T UNDERSTAND THE EXPONENTIAL FUNCTION AND CAN FLAUNT THE LAWS OF THERMODYNAMICS INDEFINITELY”.

I like this one. Our solutions are local.

Disregard might have been better but you can basically flaunt anything:

Definition of FLAUNT
transitive verb
1: to display ostentatiously or impudently : parade <flaunting his superiority>
2: to treat contemptuously <flaunted the rules >

Of course you cannot break the Laws of Thermodynamics, at least to our understanding.....

As a mathematician, I stand by this:

"The greatest shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the exponential function."

Excellent presentation. Good overview which covers many major fallacies as outlined by Marteneson and others. All this in a short sharp presentation of less than 1/4 hour which IMHO gets to the nub of the issues.

If author permits it's just what I was needing for a meeting I may be attending soon.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', 'O')ne of the best I seen, though a bit outdated without inclusion of the shale-oil bubble. The "Red Queen" reference (running to stay in place) would have been timely. Otherwise, the presentation is factually correct, professionally produced, and lively in content and form. And quite useless. Few care and it is too late to localize a world economy that we all depend to maintain our own local, regional economies and biospheres. Sad really.

"all debt is backed by nothing but future energy dependent growth"

Maybe, but at least "future energy dependent BAU" Either way when energy declines the market will take a big bath, kind of a "drown it in the bathtub" kind of bath.


Made me laugh when I saw a story today about the stock market being so optimistic while everything and everyone else is not so much. Twice in that story the stock market's over exuberance was explained by saying it is a "leading indicator". And twice, how the market hasn't been this high since 2007...

The market is a leading indicator... it was last this high ... back, oh... just before the crash of 08...
get it?

Obviously Forbes didn't, the author being so enthralled by the prescience of the market that he couldn't see the contradiction.

That is how it is with everyone but doomers who expect collapse around every corner, some historians and maybe a few really old farts who've actually seen things fall apart or remember what it was like before a Tiger in yer Tank.

Anyway, nice presentation ace.

My argument is laid out in full in the vid but essentially it is that the economy is more and more detached from the fundamental Laws. The upward Dow ticks are deluding society into thinking we are aok, when in reality it is simply Uncle Ben’s printing.Your (Agent R11) points only underline my intention in showing that the stock price movements are now due more to rabid printing than to reality.

Let me put it you another, perhaps less dramatic way:

If you clearly understand the exponential function and how net energy plays a driving role in our economy, would you invest in the stock market?!!

Bumping this as the subject again is being chattered about in the MSM, plus it's OP's poster has been very patiently in the sidelines a lot lately- and it looks like the beginning of a discussion worth having-
