The Peaknik Diaspora

…Am I some kind of dystopian? I believe in peak carbon, and I’m becoming a believer in peak debt. I’m very sympathetic to peak fish, and I’m agnostic on peak dirt: I haven’t really looked into it. I generally avoid the peak-oil crowd, not because they make no sense at all but rather because they’re so shrill. And I don’t think much of the peak-dollar lot, including the goldbugs. But I clearly have peaknik tendencies, even though I have no eschatological leanings.


My general attitude towards such things is that they are big drivers of the global economy, but not necessarily forces which will devastate the human race: I enjoy listening to Jim Kunstler, but I don’t follow him all the way to his conclusions.
