Is PO.com a gateway blog...?

Unread postby roccman » Sun 15 Jun 2008, 17:54:14

Really - is PO.com the destination or beginning journey to other blogs deeper down the rabbit hole?

For me it has taken me much further down the rabbit hole...

I am not so sure I will be able to find myself back where I started...not that I would want to be "there" again.

What say ye? What blogs has PO.com led you to that you did not know about before joining this community?

Here is one I just learned of...

9/11 led me to PO.com and PO has led to other weirder places, but I would have gotten there eventually anyway.

The answer to your query, NO. Just because there are a few blog like posts on the front page, a blog this place is not. This is a community, based around forum software.

I guess I'm too mainstream, small minded or whatever but I'm not real sure what could be a bigger problem than the depletion of the resource fueling the world economy and feeding world's population.

Or perhaps I just don't spend enough time surfing.

Naw pops - it has nothing to do with surfing...

I have a very strong feeling you won't click this link, but you asked what could be more important than the "depletion of the resource fueling the world economy".

Well poppy, "depletion of the resource fueling the world economy" is relative to just exactly how many are depleting those resources.

Right pops?

If, oh, we had a population around 500,000,000...there may be no "depletion" issue of "resources" ...blah blah blah.

Right pops.

Well - let's say "something" happens that brings our population from 7 Billion to 1/2 billion...

Don't cha think that may in fact be larger than DOTRFTWE?

See pops...it has ZERO to do with surfing and more to do with most being brainwashed...

Are you brainwashed pops?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Shannymara', 'I') became aware of the overall dismal ecological situation and certain formerly unthinkable political things as an offshoot of learning about peak oil, but for me it's all one huge rabbit hole, not a gateway to something else. I actually started posting here because I needed some camaraderie and empathy when I was going through my initial "red pill" freak out. I credit Heinberg for giving me the red pill, Savinar for potentiating it, but the white rabbit/gateway that led me here was learning about industrial food production. Pardon the mixed Alice/Matrix metaphors, please.

I get what you're saying, though.

I feel I have no illusions regarding the basic problem as you outline, but since you cite YouTube as your ultimate authority I'll grant you I don't consult it much though I did watch the link for a few seconds.

I came here and stayed because I found the ideas and people interesting and challenging.

Peak oil is sort of like a mental Everlasting Gobstopper, except it tastes like ass and you can't get it out of your mouth.

But stubborn and inquisitive minds like mine can't let go of it, so I continue soaking up the information and ideas and trying to make useful contributions for the possible benefit of others.

I think it's just an interesting cavern in the underground maze of rabbit holes.

The fact that it's focused on peal oil is not the sum of it by any means, though. For me, it's sort of like "the world is not as it seems, and peak oil is just one example."

Destination. Can only fetter away so many hours on the 'Net.
Do read TOD as well, the two sites compliment each other well I think.

You're talking about UFOs, the Illuminati. Known about them for years, interesting topics and I try and keep an open mind, but I'd rather devote my time to learning how to mend shoes or something. The dark overlords we may fear in the years to come are local gangs, corrupt police, renegade military, mobs.

I am most interested in Planet X (that appears to be a reality).

Planet X trumps PO, climate change, WWIII, H5N1, and the die off COMBINED!!...

I find those subjects interesting. I wonder if we took a poll how many Coast to Coast listeners we have. Of things like John Titor, Remote viewing, NWO, Alex Jones, Bohemian Grove, secret UFO bases and such-I refer to them as "Twinkies for the Brain". Maybe it's true maybe it's not. As junk food entertainment-they hit the spot.

PO.com is just a rest stop along the motorway of insanity for me. Its gone something like this:

Climate Change(Before it was 'cool' :lol: ) -> Ecological Issues -> Survivalism(Not the nutty american kind) -> Overpopulation -> Peak Oil -> All things Doooooom!

I don't discount the Illuminati, UFOs and all of the above, I've spoke to a good many people who claim 'they' are raising oil prices to destroy society and enslave everyone. May be true, but difficult to verify and likely to get you killed if it is, besides preparing for PO will help you survive those problems too.
