i check the oil prices and part of me thinks, ooh, when will things change... I suppose I would like to see people look after the environment, and perhaps live a healthier life style. I just think, we consume a lot of junk.... the end of suburbia. sounds nice.

But when I think about it, a lot of people could die and that's a pretty bad thing to be looking forward to, especially since one of those people could be me. Also I dont think peak oil is really going to change the way people think.

I just enrolled in a bridging course to uni, and I think that one of the positive things about western society is the knowledge we have gained.

Anyone else feel this way?

No need to feel bad about it. I see it as a cleansing phase of sorts. The most physically fit, intelligent, resourceful will survive it, and a lot of people that exhibit bad traits, and who have been multiplying in the greatest number over the past 100 years, won't be making it.

The meaningful wisdom we've acquired should remain with us. Hopefully the crap that's come with it- cars, suburbia, etc. won't.

I haven't figured out how to "look forward" to hard times and death (my own), personally......


I expect them, but I don't look forward to them.


Oh yeah, and I'm in denial!

this statement seems a bit unfair to me:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('auscanman', '
')In any case, I didn't say that ALL people who are intelligent, resourceful and physically fit will survive. Rather, I meant that those who manage to survive will almost all have these three qualities.
