Matt et al, make a valid observation... what's the point in gloating?

I thought the same thing as I made this post.

However... (hehe)

I think there is some utility in voicing our collective frustration at the ambivalence of many... & outright deception of others on this topic. I see this "gleeful" celebration of our "told you so" moment, as an expression of that frustration... an extension or consequence of it.

It is fitting & appropriate that I'm drunk on the heady brew of righteous indignation...

...& beer.

[Chuckmak]

it's a celebration, bitches!!!

heheh

First we need to get the economists out of the way and their "science". Only then can we take the path towards sustainability.
As long as current economic thinking forms the basis on wich societies are organized, it will be impossible to do anything meaningful to mitigate PO.
Watching economists being revealed for the charlatans they are is the only satisfaction I want to get from PO.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('ChefBoyardee', 'T')here is such thing as being a bad winner. People do have limitations in what they believe or accept. Some just are too busy with their own lives and can't really pay attention to serious subjects. It's like mocking others for not believing you while the ship is sinking with you and everyone in it. At that point does it really matter who was right or wrong? Food for thought.

It's cold comfort in saying "I told you so". I think we are all screwed in ways we can't even imagine. When Ghawar rolls over and decline sets in, get ready for an 8% decline in global oil output a few years from now, which will only accelerate when Canterell caves in along with it. The 'transition' will be from oil age to stone age over a few mere decades.

So now Peak Oil and high prices are synonyms?

[MacG]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Drifter', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Aaron', 'O')n behalf of all our members here at peakoil.com, ASPO, Colin Campbell, Mat Simmons, Pickens, Savinar, Bakhitari, Whipple, Heinberg & even Ruppert, I'd like to send out a big ole' "we told you so", to Yergin, Lynch the USGS, CERA & all you other peak deniers out there.

In you're face losers.

Where's your $40/bbl oil now?

Man... that felt good.

[MacG]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('MattSavinar', 'Q')uestion for those of you happy about this: what do you gain?

I, for instance, might get a few more visits at LATOC. Same here at PO.com. That's all well and good for me and Aaron and I'm quite happy about it. See me tap dancing? But it also means we're that much closer to the lights going out for good.

In other words, I actually stand to benefit - both financially and politically - from this at least in the short term but I'm not jumping up and down with glee because it only confirms that all of us, myself included, are doomed and doomed soon.

So why the almost child like glee?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('aancci', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('americandream', 'I')'m all for a resurgence of hard core Marxism so yeah, I look forward to settling the issue of history once and for all. Aaaahhh.....the days when goose stepping, jack booted and disciplined, Red Army warriors strut the globe may well be close at hand.

[EnemyCombatant]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Jack', 'J')ust wait until the folks with the large SUV are out of gas...and you get to mock them...and enjoy an MRE while their hungry children watch....and the Glock 22 on your hip deters them from doing anything but begging...and you sneer and tell them it's going to get worse.

Then smile smugly and say "I told you so....trucker."

Toss the empty MRE pouch to them as a final gesture of contempt.



Now that's good, clean fun!

[perdition79]

This is going to be fun. This week, I've gotten six to ten calls a day from people who called me nuts a few years ago. Teachers, lawyers, day traders, etc. all asking what's going to happen next. (I direct them here, of course, so please be [s]gentle[/s] brutal. They deserve it.) To think, oil has risen and gasoline has not followed suit. We're all going to be bothered by the skeptics and naysayers in our lives once gasoline hits $4 a gallon.

What a Pyrrhic victory this will be. Still, I have to say it: "We told you so." See you all in Hell. And by Hell, I mean "Anytown, USA" in about five years.

[EnemyCombatant]

I'm surprised so many here are gloating.

This is an opportunity to do a hard push and get the word out.

Good luck.

[eastbay]

Once again , let's all hope and meditate that this victory arrives as soon as possible.

As I said, I long for the settling of history...once and for all time! May the RED FLAG prevail....forever!

americandream... comrade, let's make it happen!

[Pops]

I told you so way back so I am a winner?

Naw.

I bought, stocked or invested in something way back…

Maybe as long as someone has the wherewithall to buy.



I learned and changed something in my life today.

Perhaps better.


What have you learned and changed today?
